Glentoran vs Carrick Rangers: Friday Premiership Match at Oval Postponed
In a recent development, the NIFL Premiership match between Glentoran and Carrick Rangers has been postponed. The decision follows a pitch inspection on Friday that revealed an unplayable surface at the BetMcLean Oval. Heavy rainfall in Belfast over the preceding days contributed to the unsuitable conditions.
Details on the Postponement
The match was originally scheduled for Friday, following the successful Northern Ireland U21 team’s victory against Latvia at the same venue on Thursday. However, the adverse weather led to the postponement, prompting Glentoran Football Club to release an official statement.
Club Statement
- “Glentoran Football Club can confirm that, following a pitch inspection, tonight’s Sports Direct Premiership fixture against Carrick Rangers at the BetMcLean Oval has been postponed,” the statement read.
- “A new date for the fixture will be confirmed in due course.”
- “All tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled fixture.”
Upcoming Matches
Despite the postponement of the Glentoran vs. Carrick Rangers match, other fixtures in the league are expected to proceed as scheduled. On Saturday, Crusaders will host Glenavon at Seaview, while Portadown will welcome Bangor to Shamrock Park.
The announcement regarding the rescheduling of the postponed match will be communicated to supporters as soon as details are available. Fans are encouraged to stay updated through official club channels.
