  1. Glenavon 0-0 Linfield

    The wind has really picked up at Mourneview Park making the aerial battles all the more interesting between opposite attackers and defenders.

  2. Crusaders 0-1 Larne

    Sean Graham does well to keep the ball in on the left at the byline but Paul O'Neill can't keep his effort down and blazes over.

    Hopefully, no cars coming down the Shore Road there!

    Ryan Curran (27 mins)

    Ryan Curran steps up and calmly slots the penalty low to Patrick Solis Grogan’s left, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way.

    The visitors make the breakthrough, and it’s a composed finish from the experienced forward.

  4. Ballymena United 0-0 Carrick Rangers

    Carrick's Aidan Watson swings in a deep corner which is headed towards goal by Luke McCullough but United keeper Sean O'Neill is able to grab the ball at the base of his post.

    After that bright opening couple of minutes, it's been fairly abject since then.

  6. PENALTY - Cliftonville

    Bangor 0-0 Cliftonville

    Conor Pepper latches onto Michael Glynn’s pass and gets his body across Harry Lynch.

    There’s contact and Tim Marshall points straight to the spot. Clear decision and a big chance now for the visitors.

  7. Glenavon 0-0 Linfield

    A Dane McCullough long throw-in evades everyone as Jacob Carney collects.

    Th hosts have been the better side in the opening 25 minutes, but Linfield are certainly beginning to show their attacking threat on occasion.

    Mark Haughey nods down a deep cross from the left inside the box, but the Reds scramble it behind for a corner that is eventually cleared.

    Sean McAllister (15 mins)

    It's Sean McAllister once again.

    The midfielder latches onto a loose ball and runs toward the Portadown net before he slides the ball past Aaron McCarey to double his tally for the day.

  12. Crusaders 0-1 Larne

    Adam Brooks gets in behind the Larne defence but can't get a handle on the bouncing ball and Rohan Ferguson is off his line well to deny him.

  13. Bangor 0-0 Cliftonville

    Eric McWoods bursts clear after pinching the ball high up the pitch and bears down on goal with only the keeper to beat.

    Just as he’s about to pull the trigger, Oisin Devlin slides in with a perfectly timed challenge to snuff out the chance. Top defending.

  14. YELLOW CARD

  16. goal

    GOAL - Dungannon Swifts 1-0 Portadown

    Sean McAllister (13 mins)

    Great build-up play from Dungannon Swifts. Junior holds off a Portadown defender and that allows the ball to go through to Sean McAllister.

    He hits the ball across goal and it goes in off the post.

  17. Bangor 0-0 Cliftonville

    Tiarnan Mulvenna floats a teasing cross towards the back post, where Ben Arthurs is poised to pounce, but PJ Morrison reads it well and comes to claim it cleanly for Jim Magilton’s men.

  18. Dungannon Swifts 0-0 Portadown

    It looks very easy for Dungannon to create attacking opportunities, but there's no end product so far.

  19. Bright start for Mourneview hosts

    Glenavon 0-0 Linfield

    Jim Ervin
    Former Ballymena United manager on Sportsound

    Glenavon are the only team to have a shot on target so far - they will be happy with the first 10 minutes.

  20. goal

    GOAL Crusaders 0-1 Larne

    Benji Magee (11 mins)

    That has been coming for the visitors! Magee decides to do it himself this time with a stunning solo run right through the Crues' heart and finishes low into the bottom corner.

    A beautiful individual goal but Declan Caddell will not be pleased with how easy that was. I can't imagine he would have allowed that in his playing days!
