@irishwill83 @Redhand___ 4 games at Mourneview in the final 6 matches - massive

@GFCStatsZone @Redhand___ Superb. You have momentum which will be hugely beneficial as you move into split #IrishLeague

Glenavon lost their first 5 home games of the season before Michael O’Connor was appointed as manager. During these 5 matches, Glenavon also managed only 1 goal - a Paul McGovern strike vs Coleraine Since then Glenavon have won 6 of their 10 home games including shock wins against Glentoran (3-1) and Linfield (2-1) This is how their home form matches up to the rest of the league in that time period #BJAFN #NIFL

Congratulations to Paul McGovern who’s been called up to Gareth McAuley’s U19 Northern Ireland squad👏🏻💙 #BJAFN #NIFL
