    GOAL - Glentoran 1-1 Portadownpublished at 20:30 GMT 30 December 2025

    MJ Kamson Kamara (43 mins)

    The Glens are level and it's a first goal at the club for MJ Kamson Kamara!

    Daniel Amos' free-kick from the edge of the penalty area is parried away by Aaron McCarey, before Kamson Kamara follows up and sees his deflected effort find it's way into the bottom corner.

    Not the prettiest of goals but an important one for Glentoran just before the break.

  4. YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:28 GMT 30 December 2025

    Glentoran 0-1 Portadown

    Referee Steven Gregg dishes out his first card of the evening as Divin Isamala is cautioned for a late challenge.

    That's a soft booking that Niall Currie isn't exactly over the moon with.

    Larne 0-0 Cliftonville

    Rohan Ferguson's loose pass hands it to Michael Glynn, and Cliftonville look to break, but the home side recovers to slow the counter before Adebayo Fapetu swings in a cross, but it’s straight at Ferguson, who makes amends.

    GOAL - Bangor 1-0 Ballymena Unitedpublished at 20:27 GMT 30 December 2025

    Daniel Lafferty (42 mins)

    Bangor go in front as Stephen McGuinness' low cross from the left is bundled home from close range by Ballymena defender Daniel Lafferty.

    It's a very scrappy goal but the Seasiders won't mind!

    Glentoran 0-1 Portadown

    Gary Thompson is down receiving treatment and looks in a bit of discomfort.

    The Portadown skipper shakes off the niggle and carries on in midfield.

  9. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 20:26 GMT 30 December 2025

    Crusaders 1-2 Carrick Rangers

    My goodness Crusaders almost hit back immediately.

    Elliot Dunlop with another twisting run down the left before delivering a cross that is met by Adam Brooks, but his header batters off the underside of the crossbar and is cleared to safety.

    Coleraine 0-0 Linfield

    Two chances inside a minute for Coleraine winger Lewis McGregor, Chris Johns producing a flying save to deny his well struck volley from ending up in the back of the net with his second chance.

    Coleraine have dominated the last five minutes, but Linfield look dangerous on the break.

    Both teams are having a go. They are not sitting in and trying to dominate possession in their own half, they are getting it forward. I love to see that.

  12. Postpublished at 20:24 GMT 30 December 2025

    Coleraine 0-0 Linfield

    A mix-up in defence between Lyndon Kane and Charles Dunne presents Matthew Fitzpatrick with an opportunity.

    The Linfield striker does well initially but then spoils his hard work by blasting wide of the target.

  13. Postpublished at 20:24 GMT 30 December 2025

    Glentoran 0-1 Portadown

    MJ Kamson Kamara shows his athleticism as he strides forward from the back, beats several Portadown players before letting fly from outside the area.

    His right-footed strike is dragged ever so slightly and slides just by the post.

    The Glens seem to have woken up after falling a goal behind.

    Glenavon 0-0 Dungannon Swifts

    Adam Glenny comes closest this half.

    From a long way out, the defender takes a shot which requires an acrobatic save from Mark Byrne.

  15. Watch: Bryden fires Crues in front against Carrickpublished at 20:22 GMT 30 December 2025

    Crusaders 1-2 Carrick Rangers

    Fraser Bryden continues his prolific form this season with the first goal of the night at Taylors Avenue. A clinical finish from the forward.

    Billy Joe Burns (36 mins)

    The game has flipped on its head here at Seaview and it is BJ Burns who has come back to haunt his old club.

    Jack Scott turns provider with a cross from the right and Burns fires a bullet header into the right-hand side of the net. Musa Dibaga gets a hand to the ball but it's not enough.

  17. YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:22 GMT 30 December 2025

    Bangor 0-0 Ballymena United

    Lewis Harrison picks up a booking for a sliding challenge on Kian Corbally.

    It's the Bangor skipper's fifth caution of the season and he well miss Saturday's trip to Linfield.

  18. Postpublished at 20:21 GMT 30 December 2025

    Larne 0-0 Cliftonville

    After a patient spell of possession from Jim Magilton’s men, Jack Keaney finds time and space 25 yards out and lets fly. His low effort fizzes just wide of the near post.

    Bangor 0-0 Ballymena United

    A long ball forward is flicked on by Michael Morgan to defender Lewis Francis, whose toe-poked effort is kept out by Sean O'Neill.

    Larne 0-0 Cliftonville

    A Larne cross from the left is only half-cleared and falls kindly for Jordan McEneff, who takes it on first time but lifts his effort over the bar.
