After the drama of the 'Big Two' derby at Windsor Park, attention shifts to Mourneview Park for a clash between local rivals Glenavon and Portadown. Both teams make significant changes after contrasting fortunes in the Bet McLean Cup.
After all the drama of the 'Big Two' derby at Windsor Park on Friday night, attention turns to the not inconsiderable meeting of Mid Ulster rivals Glenavon and Portadown at Mourneview Park. The clubs enjoyed contrasting fortunes in the Bet McLean Cup in midweek, a late Davy McDaid winner earning the Lurgan Blues their place in the second round while the Ports crashed out, beaten 0-1 at home by Championship club Ards. Not surprisingly, both teams show a raft of changes from midweek.
In their places come Len O'Sullivan, Jack Malone, David McDaid, Peter Campbell, Barney McKeown and James Carroll. Ports manager Niall Currie goes one better with a magnificent seven switches as Jamie Ray, Dougie Wilson, Paul McElroy, Ben Wylie and Liam Mullan are listed among the replacements with Jay Riley and Josh Ukek, sent off in the cup, not involved. The men to step up are Aaron McCarey, Lewis McKinnon, Lee Chapman, Ryan Mayse, Eamon Fyfe, Jack Henderson and Abu Obhakhan.
