Superb defending from Niall Quinn who does extremely well to get his head on a dangerous Kirk Millar cross to the back post, just as it looked like Sam Roscoe was on hand to head home the opener.

Harry Wilson clips one over the top, and Eric McWoods shrugs off Reece Neale with ease, and bears down on goal.

But with only Patrick Solis Grogan to beat, he fires straight at the goalkeeper. That’s a big chance gone for Jim Magilton’s men.

Tiarnan Mulvenna glances a header into the path of Ben Cushnie, who looks to burst in behind, but there’s just too much on it, and PJ Morrison is out quickly to gather for the Reds.

Callumn Morrison beats the offside trap as he bears down on goal with only the goalkeeper to beat.

Morrison struggles to get his shot away with Jacob Carney eventually saving with his feet before Kyle McClean's follow up is blasted high and wide.

Half-time at Clandeboye Park, where it’s one apiece after an open, scrappy first half.

Ryan Curran fired Cliftonville in front from the spot, but Ben Arthurs levelled soon after with a composed finish. All to play for after the break.

Kirk Millar's ball over the top is controlled by Callumn Morrison, who tries to catch the goalkeeper out by quickly pulling the trigger.

His left-footed effort is comfortably saved by Jacob Carney in the end.

Half-time fast approaching.
