    Linfield 1-1 Cliftonville

    There might not be much riding on this result but there is plenty of intensity from both sides.

    Matthew Fitzpatrick stings the palms of PJ Morrison in the Cliftonville as he gets a good shot away following a neat piece of skill in the box to lose his marker.

    Safe to say the home fans enjoyed that goal.

    Andy Ryan has played a huge part in Larne's title charge since returning from injury and what a crucial goal that could prove to be.

    It's a brilliant header and a brilliant delivery. The goalkeeper has no chance. You would imagine that is the party started now. It's a huge goal from one of their top men.

    Coleraine 1-0 Glentoran

    Glentoran have a free kick in a promising position 25 yards from goal.

    The angle looks to favour the left-footed Danny Amos but Jack Malone takes it right-footed instead and curls it over.

    Matt Ridley has been excellent this year. He's an old-school centre half. He can play, but his main job is to defend and he's done it superbly.

    There's still a job to be done here today for Larne. It's a stronger Dungannon team than people were expecting and they'll play with freedom.
