Farren looks assured in thrilling Crues defeat

The former Derry City striker has been out of action since September but he showed enough in this outing to show he will add quality and a pose real goal threat in the Glenavon attack once fully fit.

“It’s been a while since I played a competitive game,” said Mark. “It was in September with City, but after a long wait it is great to make my debut for Glenavon. I know I have been brought here to score goals and hopefully I will do that.”

Farren may not have capped his debut with a goal, but he denied that glory by the Crues keeper who made a great save in the second half.

Glenavon played their part in what was a great game of football and could have ended up 6-6 with so many chances created.
