Physical break

Jonny Addis says memories of recent meetings with Glenavon will ensure Cliftonville are primed for tomorrow’s Danske Bank Premiership encounter at Solitude.

The sides have contested a number of closely-fought battles over the last 12 months and, having been part of the team that recorded a narrow 1-0 win at Mourneview Park in mid-September, Addis is well aware of the challenge in store.

“It will be a tough game, we got a really tough game down there,” says the 30-year-old.

“They’re a physical side and there will be no surprises, they will come and give us a game. They did the same last year – we didn’t get an easy game against them here last year and we’ll be expecting the same.

“They’re a big, physical, strong side – they’ve two strikers that are very good at holding the ball up and getting them high up the pitch. We’ll be expecting a tough game, but we’re looking forward to it.”
