Adam Brooks picks Odhran Casey’s pocket and slips in Fraser Bryden, whose low strike is blocked en route to goal.

The away side keep the pressure on with another corner.

See how Ballymena took the lead against Coleraine as Kian Corbally threads a through ball into the path of Daire O'Connor, who applies the finish.

Best chance of the game so far as Adam Leckey forces Rohan Ferguson into a smart diving save to his right from a Danny Gibson cross.

Adam Brooks and Finlay Thorndike exchange a sharp one-two on the edge of the area, but Jonny Addis reads it well and steps in to clear.

Declan Caddell’s men are starting to get on top.

Joel Cooper wriggles clear for Coleraine and tees up Zane Okoro but his shot is deflected behind off Aaron Jarvis.

Referee Tony Clarke goes into his pocket for the first time this afternoon and shows Glentoran skipper Marcus Kane a yellow card for his cynical challenge on Matthew Fitzpatrick.

Jordan Stewart shows some neat footwork and trickery to get past Sean Brown and clip a cross to the back post, where Pat Hoban gets his head on it but can't keep his effort on target.

That was a chance for the visitors to go in front.

Rory Hale is eased off the ball deep in the Reds' half, and the Crues spring forward.

Lewis Ridd spills Fraser Bryden's low effort, but the hosts recover just in time to hook clear before Finlay Thorndike can pounce.

Matthew Fitzpatrick gets his head on the end of a Sean Brown cross but can't generate any real power on his effort and Andrew Mills gathers routinely in goal.

Danny Lafferty is inches away from doubling Ballymena's lead as his 25-yard free kick whistles past the post.

Bangor have endured a difficult start to the game with Dungannon keeping the ball well and creating chances.

Cliftonville fail to clear their lines, and the ball breaks for Lloyd Anderson, who opts to hit it from distance, but it’s well off target and never troubling Lewis Ridd.

Carrick have probably been the more in control with what they are trying to do, but Larne do look dangerous on the break.

Jamie Glackin's afternoon is over for Coleraine as he goes off with an arm injury.

Jamie McGonigle is on to replace him.

A chance on the counter for the visitors.

Seanan Clucas loses the ball midway inside the Carrick half.

Benji Magee quickly moves the ball on his captain Leroy Millar whose effort from the edge of the box is held by Nathan Gartside.

Odhran Casey hangs up a cross to the back post where Ryan Curran ghosts in, but before he can get the final touch, Lewis Barr nips in to turn it behind for a corner that eventually comes to nothing.

A long clearance was controlled well by Eamon Fyfe, who held the ball up and found James Teelan.

Teelan makes his way towards goal and pulls the trigger, but his effort is blocked by a very well-timed lunge from Glenavon’s Oran O’Kane.

Philip Major
Sportsound summariser

So far it is a fairly even start to the game and it has been scrappy.

Neither side has settled into it.

Watch as Adam Glenny steers home the opener for Dungannon Swifts at Stangmore Park.

Scrappy affair so far in south Belfast with a lot of football being played in the air.

Glentoran's Jordan Stewart is the liveliest player on the pitch so far.
