Warrenpoint Town only have 4 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 3 draws. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Warrenpoint, who have now gone 13 games without a victory. The Crusaders game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Warrenpoint are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Warrenpoint Town's previous game was their home loss versus Portadown (1-3). A 3-4 loss hosting Glenavon before that.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Warrenpoint manager B. Gray as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Dungannon Swifts.
