Ford motion

Supporters are advised that kick-off in next Saturday’s home friendly with Longford Town has been brought forward to 2pm.

The fixture fills a gap left in the schedule by the postponement of the Reds’ Danske Bank Premiership clash with Ballymena United the previous night and will form part of pre-season preparations for De Town, whose SSE Aitrtricity League First Division campaign commences with a trip to Limerick six days after their visit to Solitude.
