Off the field, Ballymena will go into the new campaign minus a number of familiar faces who have given the club sterling service over many years.

Among them are Guy McCullough, who has retired from the post of honorary secretary after an unbroken 20 years in the post and 40 years' service to the club overall. His long service was recognised with a civic reception earlier this year.
