Glentoran travel to Lurgan this weekend in the first of the post-split fixtures. It will be the Glens fourth visit to Mourneview Park this season and they'll be hoping that they make it four wins out of four.
The most recent trip was just two weeks ago for the Irish Cup semi-final against Crusaders when Eddie Patterson's side ripped up the form book and booked their place in the final on 2nd May.
Glenavon FC have notified Glentoran FC that the match at Mourneview Park this Saturday is a strictly segregated game with Glentoran supporters being accomodated in the Glenfield Road Stand. Glentoran supporters will enter the Glenfield Road Stand through the ‘away’ turnstiles as NO ENTRY will be permitted to the ground through the Main Gate. Glenavon FC further advise that the standing area at the Hospital Road end of the ground will be closed and fans will not be permitted to stand in that area. Thank you for your cooperation.

Without ever hitting top gear, Irish Cup finalists Glentoran recorded a comfortable 2-0 over Dungannon Swifts at The Oval. Glentoran had beaten Dungannon in their three previous encounters during this campaign and today ended in similar fashion as the East Belfast side followed last week's Irish Cup semi-final victory with another win today. In blustery conditions at The Oval Glentoran got off to a good start. Jordan Stewart got on the end of a Kym Nelson ball over the top of the Dungannon defence.
This will be the third meeting in the Danske Bank Premiership between Glentoran and Dungannon Swifts. On the previous two meetings Glentoran recorded narrow victories; 1-nil at the Oval on 27th September thanks to a spectacular winner from Stephen McAlorum and 3-2 at Stangmore Park in mid-December with goals from Allen, Stewart and Henderson.
