CAR PARKING
Supporters are to be aware that due to limited spaces, the car park within Inver Park will not be open to supporters attending the game.
The car park at First Larne Presbyterian Church will also be closed to supporters tomorrow due to a funeral taking place. We ask that all supporters remain mindful and respectful of this when passing the entrance to the church on their way to Inver Park later on today.
For those driving to the game, parking facilities are available in nearby areas including Laharna Retail Park and Riverdale, both of which are just a short walk to the stadium.

THE INVER REDS
With the visit of the current league leaders to Inver Park today, Tiernan Lynch’s side will be looking to continue their strong run of form in the Sports Direct Premiership.
The Invermen are unbeaten in the league since September and have won their last four in a row to leave the gap to today’s opponents at just one point at the top of the table.
After suffering a penalty shoot-out defeat to Linfield last time out in the BetMcLean Cup, Tiernan Lynch’s side will be looking to pick up all three points in the league today.
THE OPPOSITION
Linfield travel to Inver Park today on the back of a 2-0 victory over rivals Glentoran on Boxing Day.
David Healy’s side have won their last four league matches in a row since suffering defeat to Glentoran earlier this month.
In what is the third meeting of the two sides in the Sports Direct Premiership this season, Linfield will be hoping to pick up their first victory against the Invermen later on today at Inver Park to increase their lead at the top.
