Bangor aim to sneak into seventh in final five

Yahoo Sports

Bangor will aim to finish a good first season back in the top flight in the European play-off place.

Bangor post-split fixtures: Ballymena United (A), Saturday, 4 April, Crusaders (A), Tuesday, 7 April, Glenavon (H), Saturday, 11 April, Carrick Rangers (H), Saturday, 18 April, Portadown (H), Saturday, 25 April Not being involved in a relegation fight in their first season back in the top flight will have been a pleasing surprise for Bangor fans this term. Despite a recent run of poor results, Lee Feeney's men are far enough away from the drop zone and will be dreaming of arresting their tough run and sneaking into seventh, which would far exceed expectations set at the start of the season. Like Portadown, the Seasiders are seven points behind Carrick Rangers, who they face in one of three consecutive home games to close out their campaign.

A much-needed win over Dungannon Swifts earlier in the month, their first league victory since 17 January will give them a boost and they have fared well in most league games against the other sides in the bottom six.
