Ballymena United 1-1 Dungannon Swifts
Play resumes at Ballymena with the same 22 players who finished the first half.
Glentoran 0-2 Cliftonville
A positive opening wakens up the drum and singing section to my left as David Fisher's ball across the face of goal is met by Joe Thomson.
His first-time effort rebounds away off a red shirt in the end.
Coleraine 0-1 Carrick Rangers
Coleraine midfielder Dylan Boyle gets us back under way at the Showgrounds.
Glenavon 1-2 Bangor
Crazy stuff from kick-off as the hosts kick the ball back to Mark Byrne, but they've overhit it, and the Glenavon stopper has to sprint towards his own goal and clear his lines.
Lee Feeney's side almost extend their lead without even touching the ball.
Crusaders 0-1 Portadown
Lloyd Anderson gets us under way at Seaview
Glentoran 0-2 Cliftonville
Back under way at The Oval. Can the hosts recover from their two-goal deficit?
Paddy McCourt sent them out a lot earlier than Cliftonville for the start of this second half.

Curtis Allen
Former Glentoran and Carrick Rangers striker on BBC Sounds
Ballymena grew into the game and had a touch of luck with McGinty's OG and they have really pushed on from there.
I think we are set for a really good second half.

Paddy McLaughlin
Sportsound summariser
I think Carrick are deservedly in the lead and it is against the odds.
It is a big 45 minutes and a big team talk in both dressing rooms.
Coleraine 0-1 Carrick Rangers
Image source, PacemakerVisitors Carrick Rangers lead at the break at the Showgrounds thanks to Adam Lecky's goal just before the half hour.
Coleraine failed to cope with a corner from the near side and in the ensuing confusion the big striker somehow bundled the ball over the line from a matter of yards out.
Earlier, Danny Gibson struck the crossbar for Carrick while Matthew Snoddy's shot was well saved by Coleraine Aidan Harris.
At the other end, the home side have struggled to create anything meaningful, Matthew Shevlin missing the target from close range in the dying moments of the half their best opportunity.
Plenty, then, for both managers to think about during the interval.
Ballymena United 1-1 Dungannon Swifts
Half-time at the Showgrounds and Cahal McGinty joins that unusual band of players to have scored at both ends of the pitch with his own goal cancelling out his earlier opener in a frenetic opening period.
Glentoran 0-2 Cliftonville
Image source, PacemakerGlentoran had much of the ball in the early stages but couldn't produce anything. The Reds then took their chances when they have come with goals from Thomas Lavery and Joe Sheridan giving them the lead at the break.
The half-time whistle was greeted with a chorus of boos and there is much to be done in the second half for the hosts.
Glenavon 1-2 Bangor
Image source, PacemakerHalf-time at Mourneview Park, where Bangor have flipped this contest on its head.
Glenavon started brightly and led through Jack Malone, but Ben Arthurs struck twice - the second a tidy header - to send the Seasiders in ahead at the break.
Coleraine 0-1 Carrick Rangers
Two corners in quick succession for the home side.
Glenavon 1-2 Bangor

Watch: Arthur levels for Bangor from the penalty spot
Crusaders 0-1 Portadown
The half-time whistle goes and it is the Ports who lead through that late Eamon Fyfe goal, his seventh of the season.
Crusaders need to regroup at the break now.
Ballymena United 1-1 Dungannon Swifts
Dungannon are forced into a change in first half injury time as Tiernan Kelly limps off with Bobby-Jack McAleese on in his place.
Glentoran 0-2 Cliftonville
It's Thomas Lavery's goal, but how about this for an assist from Harry Wilson?!
A mazy run followed by an easy finish.
Watch: Thomas Lavery makes it 1-0 to Cliftonville
