Tony Grant is Forced to Retire

Sadly Tony Grant has been forced to call a halt to his playing career following medical advice regarding a long-term back and groin problem that he has suffered from since 2005. Speaking from his home in Balbriggan, Tony explained that it has been one of the toughest decisions he has ever had to make: “I know I signed a new contract for next season and I am so disappointed and feel like I am letting the club down but, injury-wise, the pain is unbearable at the moment and my specialist and the physio have advised that I need to give up playing football. I had two injections and was due another but they only ease the pain and don’t cure the underlying problem which is a kind of arthritis in the pelvis that would only get worse if I kept on playing."

Volunteers Wanted for Ground Clean-up at Mourneview Park

Glenavon supporters young and old, male and female are being requested to come along to Mourneview Park on Saturday 16 June and Saturday 23 June to play their part in the annual ground sprucing operation. This is the time of the year when cleaning and repainting is required, weeds need to be uplifted etc as well as many other tasks to ensure the venue is looking at its best for the Millwall game on 21 July and the new Premiership season commencing on 11 August.

The work will be ongoing from 9.30am – 12.30pm on the next two Saturdays (16 and 23 June). Supporters are asked to bring along their own tools, e.g. paint brushes, clippers, spades, yard brushes and anything likely to be of use.
