A change for the Reds as Conor Pepper replaces Joe Gormley.

Danny Gibson nods it down perfectly for Adam Lecky, who connects sweetly on the volley.

It’s arrowing towards the top corner, but PJ Morrison springs to his right and gets fingertips to it, turning it behind. Superb save.

Adam Lecky takes a pass with his back to goal, spins neatly and looks to guide one towards the far post, but it bends just wide.

Harry Wilson goes into Chris Morrison's book for a late challenge on Joe Crowe.

James Douglas' effort from just outside the penalty area is tipped over by Strabane Athletic keeper Shane O'Gara at the expense of a corner.

Danny Gibson lifts a clever flick over the Cliftonville defence and Paul Heatley darts in behind, but he hesitates for a split-second under pressure, and PJ Morrison is out quickly to gather. A half-chance that slips away.

Rory Hale rolls it short to Joe Gormley, who drills a powerful low strike through the wall, but Scott Pengelly is equal to it, getting down sharply to push it away. Strong goalkeeping from the Carrick stopper.

Billy-Joe Burns catches Adebayo Fapetu with a clumsy challenge right on the edge of the area. Free-kick to the Reds in a dangerous position - this could be a big moment.

A triple substitution by Strabane Athletic manager Mo Mahon less than 10 minutes into the second half.

Declan Sharkey, Niall McKinley and Blaine Burns leave the field and are replaced by Dylan Woods, Gary Merritt and Bradley Callaghan.

Adam Lecky competes for a high ball, and the loose clearance drops invitingly for Joe Crowe. He takes it on first time, but the shot never troubles PJ Morrison as it sails well over.

Rory Hale clips a ball over the top that catches Jimmy Callacher out, allowing Joe Gormley to sneak in.

The angle’s tight, but he takes it on first time with a half-volley and sends it just wide of the near post.

A real collector's item there - Pat Hoban missing a sitter in front of goal.

Danny Amos again does all the hard work on the left, firing a low ball into the box where Hoban loses his marker but is unable to find the target from six yards out in front of goal.

Paul Heatley races onto Mikey Place’s flick, and suddenly there’s a gaping hole in the Cliftonville defence.

It looks like a golden chance, but the Reds scramble back, and Harry Wilson gets across to make a vital block just in time.

A change at half-time for the home side as Jack Malone, who had been through the wars in the opening 45 minutes, is replaced by Joe Thomson.

Paul Heatley picks up a yellow card for a late challenge on Harry Wilson, and tempers flare in the aftermath.

Rory Hale gets involved and is also booked for shoving Heatley as things briefly boil over.

Jordan Stewart gets us back underway at the Oval.

A cross from the left is only half-cleared and drops kindly for Benjamin Buchanan-Rolleston.

He takes a touch and rifles one towards the near post, but it flashes wide. Not far off for the east Antrim side.
