    Ballymena United 0-0 Larne

    Leroy Millar twists and turns in the box and looks destined to fire on target, but sends his shot wide of the right-hand post.

    That was the first chance of the game and Millar will be frustrated that he didn't do better there.

    Ballymena United 0-0 Larne

    Aaron Donnelly and Paul O'Neill play a lovely one-two before O'Neill has a go from range.

    However, his shot is not as convincing as the build-up play and sails well over the crossbar.

    Glentoran 0-0 Coleraine

    Some Joel Cooper magic down the right leaves Glentoran defenders on the deck as he speeds into the Glentoran box, but his shot is straight at the legs of keeper Billy Crellin, who kicks it away for a corner that comes to nothing.

    GOAL - Carrick Rangers 0-1 Bangorpublished at 20:01 GMT 3 February

    Lewis Francis (15 mins)

    The visitors are in front as Reece Neale's cross from the right flank causes havoc in the penalty area and the ball pops loose for centre-back Lewis Francis to drill home a crisp, low shot from 12 yards.

  6. CLOSE!published at 20:00 GMT 3 February

    Glentoran 0-0 Coleraine

    First real chance of the night and it falls the way of the visitors.

    Glentoran fail to deal with a harmless looking cross and Ben Wylie drills across the goal-line, but Mathew Shevlin just fails to get his toe to the ball as it rolls out for a goal-kick.

    Seconds later, Glentoran go close at the there end as they head just over the crossbar.

    Exciting passage of play.

    Despite the Inver Reds dominating possession in the opening 10 minutes, there have been very few talking points.

    Let's hope that changes or it could be a very long night!

    BetMcLean Cup semi-final - Glentoran v Coleraine

    Glentoran have added winger Josh Daniels to their squad on a long-term deal.

    The 29-year-old previously featured for hometown club Derry City and Glenavon before earning a move to Shrewsbury Town in 2020.

    He then joined Welsh side The New Saints in 2022 where he won three league titles, two Welsh Cups and two Welsh League Cups.

    Daniels had his contract mutually terminated by the club to allow him to return to Northern Ireland for family reasons.

    "Coming home was really important for me and my family and when the opportunity to join Glentoran came up it felt like the right time and the right club," he told Glentoran's website.

    "This is one of the biggest clubs on the island of Ireland and one I've played against many times over the years. They'd shown an interest in me before I moved to Shrewbury Town and again during my time away, so I'm delighted everything has finally come together."
