Plenty of energy and effort but not a lot of creativity at the moment.

One Coleraine new boy replaces another as James Akintunde comes on in place of Ben Wylie.

Leroy Millar carves out a cross from the left which Matty Lusty meets with a firm header but - in keeping with the theme of the first half - the striker outs his effort wide.

It's been a quiet opening to the second half with play largely taking place inside the Coleraine half as the hosts chase the opening goal.

After a heavy snow shower at the interval, we're back underway with no changes for either side.

Maybe it will be followed by a flurry of goals?

Given the magnitude of the game, I think both managers should be happy happy with what they are getting.

It hasn't been cagey, both sides have got forward. Lots to admire and enjoy.

The last chance of the half goes to Coleraine as Dean Jarvis gets on the end of a Rowan McDonald cross but it goes through to Rohan Ferguson.

Fourth official Tony Clarke indicates one minute of additional time.

Coleraine make heavy weather of dealing with a Sean Graham corner and its subsequent follow-up effort but the danger is eventually averted.

Ten minutes to go until half-time.

Can either side find the breakthrough before the interval?

Joel Cooper digs out a deep cross from the right hand side for Coleraine which drifts all the way over to Dean Jarvis on the opposite flank.

The left-back possibly has too much time to size up the effort and it's well wide.

Leroy Millar's touch plays in Matty Lusty on the left hand side of the penalty area but the Larne striker's effort is somewhere between a shot and a cross and drifts harmlessly wide.

After that helter-skelter opening quarter of an hour, the pace of the game, not surprisingly, has slowed down somewhat.

Lewis McGregor cleverly comes inside from the right flank to try and get on the end of Mark Connolly's free kick but Matt Ridley is alert to cover the danger for Larne at the expense of a corner.

In the opening period Larne have been in the ascendancy - they've had two more than reasonable chances to score.

Larne are the better side, they've settled more quickly.

Tiarnan O'Connor drives forward for Larne and from his low shot, Aidan Harris has to dive to his right to push the effort away.

There has certainly been no shortage of action in these opening 15 minutes.

Coleraine keeper Aidan Harris is receiving treatment, during which Coleraine boss Ruaidhri Higgins calls his players over for a brief tactical chat.

How is that not a goal?

Jordan McEneff's low cross from the right is met by the in-rushing Matty Lusty but he can only put his effort wide from close range.

Lusty could well have had a hat-trick by this stage.
