Newry City
Newry returned to the top flight after a three year absence, gaining promotion when they won last season’s Bluefin Sports Championship.

Tiernan Lynch comes into this game as the reigning Manager of the Month, after Larne completed an impressive run of five consecutive victories.
Attacking player Daniel Kearns will be suspended for this game, after his sending off at the BMG Arena on Tuesday evening.
