“We started January with a good win over Crusaders, so hopefully we can carry on from there.”
While Glenavon goalkeeper Jonny Tuffey was December’s Player of the Month.
Incredibly, Tuffey only conceded one goal in December, keeping clean sheets against Carrick Rangers, Coleraine and Portadown as the Lurgan Blues took 10 points from the month.
