Dungannon Swifts 1-0 Coleraine
Philip Lowry
Limavady midfielder on BBC Radio Ulster
Sean McAllister has looked lively from the start.
Coleraine have invited a bit of pressure and it is a bit if mix-up between the defenders.
Glenavon 0-0 Portadown
Michael O'Connor is forced into an early change with Jordan McMullan coming on for John Mountney.
Paul Heatley (12 mins)
Carrick have been rewarded for some sustained pressure in the Bangor half.
After some good hold-up play down the right from Adam Lecky, the ball comes back to Matthew Snoddy who picks out Heatley with a cross and the attacker hits a volley from the edge of the area that finds its way into the bottom left-hand corner of the goal.
Sean McAllister (11 mins)
The home side have started this game well and are rewarded with the game's opening goal.
Steven Scott's long throw causes all manner of confusion in the Coleraine defence and when the ball lands at the feet of the Dungannon midfielder, he directs it past a diving Ryan Schofield.
Glenavon 0-0 Portadown
A long pass sends James Teelan through on goal, he passes to Eamon Fyfe who is in lots of space.
However, the striker fluffs his lines and misses the target.
Dungannon Swifts 0-0 Coleraine
A moment of concern for the visitors as Tiernan Kelly gets his head on a Leo Alves corner but Ryan Schofield is well placed to save.
Ballymena United 0-1 Larne
David Jeffrey
Former Linfield & Ballymena manager on BBC Radio Ulster
From the naked eye, I didn't see that as a penalty. Both players have gone down and I didn't see it as one had fouled the other.
Andy Ryan (8 mins)
Andy Ryan steps up from the spot and nicely fires Larne into the lead.
MJ Kamson Kamara (9 mins)
The Glens strike first from the resulting corner as the Crues switch off at the back!
Marcus Kane flicks on a header and MJ Kamson Kamara nods it over the line from close range to the delight of the home support.
Glentoran 0-0 Crusaders
Jordan Stewart whips in a low cross from the left wing but Evan Easton slices his clearance behind from six yards out.
Glentoran have a corner to work with early doors.
Glentoran 0-0 Crusaders
It's not just Glentoran v Crusaders today, with big consequences top and bottom of the table, but also Pat Hoban v Fraser Bryden in the race for the golden boot.
Hoban leads on 19 after his midweek double against Cliftonville while Bryden sits on 18.
However, Matthew Shevlin and Joel Cooper may have something to say about where that accolade lands come the end of the season.
Carrick Rangers 0-0 Bangor
Bangor threaten for the first time as top scorer Ben Arthurs capitalises on some hesitant Carrick defending but he loses control of the ball and it runs harmlessly away from danger.
Open game so far.
Dungannon Swifts 0-0 Coleraine
Matthew Shevlin will be disappointed not to have hit the target there.
Played through by a precise pass from Levi Ives, the striker drags his shot wide of the far post.
Ballymena United 0-0 Larne
First chance of the game goes the way of Ballymena United where Kian Corbally's free-kick is comfortably caught by Larne goalkeeper Rohan Ferguson.
Dungannon Swifts 0-0 Coleraine
An early corner for the away side.
Dungannon Swifts 0-0 Coleraine
An early opportunity for the home side as Tiernan Kelly crosses from the right, but Sean McAllister's effort goes spiralling up in the air before being gathered by Ryan Schofield.
Carrick Rangers 0-0 Bangor
First chance of the day falls the way of the hosts.
A cross from the left finds Adam Lecky at the back post and his header is superbly pushed around the right-hand upright by goalkeeper Lee Duggan.
Glentoran 0-0 Crusaders
Jordan Stewart drifts in off the flank and curls an inviting, in-swinging cross into the middle, but no one in a green shirt can get there.
Glenavon 0-0 Portadown
Referee Christopher Morrison whistles to get us under way at a bright Mourneview Park.
Which way will this one go?
Ballymena United 0-0 Larne
Referee Tim Marshall sounds his whistle to get us under way in a sunny Ballymena.
