3pm Kick Off
Having once enjoyed an intense rivalry with Glentoran that saw the two teams regularly challenge each other in top of the table clashes and the later stages of cup competitions, it is somewhat surprising that the Ports have not won a league match at the Oval since December 2013. On that occasion, goals from strikers Gary Twigg and Darren Murray gave Ronnie McFall’s men a 2-0 victory that brought an end to an eight-game unbeaten run for the Glens.
