It's been over 12 months since the 'Gers last trip to Clandeboye Park, then in the Co. Antrim Shield, with a brace from Paul Heatley and goals from Kurtis Forsythe and Danny Gibson helping the 'Gers to a 4-0 win.
Since then, Bangor have enjoyed a promotion and a positive start to their top flight return. Most recently picking up a point at Inver Park last Saturday evening after Ben Arthurs opened the scoring. That result stretched the Seagulls unbeaten run to 5 games.
For the 'Gers, a commanding second-half display last Saturday against Cliftonville wasn't enough to earn a point, losing out 1-0 after Shaun Leppard opened the scoring in the first period.
The sides did meet on 13th October at Taylors Avenue, but the game was abandoned following the unfortunate head injury sustained by Paul Heatley.
Ethan Boyle, Nedas Maciulaitis (both knee), Reece Glendinning (hand) and Cameron Stewart all remain unavailable, with Adam Lecky and Seanan Clucas pushing to return to First Team involvement after spells on the sidelines.
Your support, as always, would be greatly appreciated and below, you can find information for ticketing arrangements.
