Irish League fixture pushed back 24 hours after agreement between clubs
A Premiership clash between Ballymena United and Bangor, which was initially rearranged to kick-off at 7:45pm on Tuesday evening, has been pushed back 24 hours.
An original meeting was scheduled for Saturday, April 4 but was postponed due to The Showgrounds failing a pitch inspection – it was the sixth time a match had been called off at the Co Antrim venue in 2026.
The Northern Ireland Football League (NIFL) have now confirmed the split fixture will be played on Wednesday, April 15 at 7:45pm – an update which was “agreed by both clubs”, posting on social media: “New date confirmed for the Sports Direct Premiership clash between Ballymena United and Bangor. Wednesday 15th April. 7:45pm KO.”
No further information on reasoning behind the rescheduled date has been provided.
Ballymena currently sit eighth in the Premiership after Saturday’s win over Carrick Rangers with Bangor one position behind, but Lee Feeney’s men are level on 38 points.
Carrick have already sealed the final European play-off position.
