Linfield piling on the pressure now in front of the Railway End.
Jack Scott (31 mins)
Carrick are back on level terms and it is Jack Scott who takes full advantage of a fluffed clearance by Josh Williamson in the heart of the Crusaders' box.
Scott makes no mistake to head home from six yards past Musa Dibaga in goal. Game on!
Larne 0-0 Cliftonville
Jack Keaney stands over a free-kick 25 yards from goal, but his effort crashes straight into the wall.
Bangor 0-0 Ballymena United
Bangor's Robert Garrett is the first name in Louise Thompson's notebook for a tackle on Andy Scott.
Coleraine 0-0 Linfield
Linfield win a free-kick in a dangerous position on the half hour.
Eamon Fyfe (27 mins)
The visitors hit the front and it's Eamon Fyfe who breaks the deadlock!
Ben Quinn plays a lovely first-time through ball to Fyfe, who takes the ball in his stride before firing home beyond Andrew Mills and into the bottom left-hand corner.
A superb move from the Ports and an equally tidy finish to put Niall Currie's side in front just before the half hour mark.
Coleraine 0-0 Linfield
Lewis McGregor takes a pot shot from distance, it takes a deflection on its way towards goal but Chris Johns scrambles across his goal to gather.
Glenavon 0-0 Dungannon Swifts
Steven Scott is unable to continue following an awkward landing while contesting a header.
Mal Smith comes on in his place.
Larne 0-0 Cliftonville
The best move of the match so far comes from Gary Haveron’s men.
Jordan McEneff threads a pass into Benji Magee, whose clever first-time lay-off sets up Paul O’Neill to strike. He meets it flush, but his rising effort clears the crossbar.
Glentoran 0-0 Portadown
Liam Burt plays a perfectly weighted pass through to Christie Pattisson in a central area, but Aaron McCarey is quick off his line to deny the Glentoran winger from getting his foot to the ball.
Coleraine 0-0 Linfield
Alex Gorrin getting a stern talking to by referee Ben McMaster after stopping Joel Cooper in his tracks as he looked to set up a Coleraine counter attack.
No card.
Glentoran 0-0 Portadown
Pinball in the Glentoran penalty area as Portadown produce a couple of half chances.
MJ Kamson Kamara makes a good block from Ben Quinn's strike before the attack is fully thwarted.
Not to most entertaining of games after 25 minutes.
Glenavon 0-0 Dungannon Swifts
A break in play as Steven Scott receives treatment.
Both managers are taking the opportunity to give further instructions to their squads at this point.
Larne 0-0 Cliftonville
A hopeful ball is sent down the left for Benji Magee to chase, but Odhran Casey reads it well and shepherds the forward out of play.
With 24 minutes gone, you'd imagine Jim Magilton will be the happier of the two managers.
Fraser Bryden (25 mins)
It is the league's top scorer Bryden who breaks the deadlock.
Elliot Dunlop, who has threatened all night, crossed from the left. Nathan Gartside got a hand to the ball but could only knock it into the path of Bryden who finished high into the net from six yards.
Bangor 0-0 Ballymena United
Best chance of the game so far for Bangor as Michael Morgan swivels and fires in a fierce shot.
Ballymena keeper Sean O'Neill makes a fine instinctive stop and Ben Arthurs, following up, can't keep his effort on target.
Crusaders 0-0 Carrick Rangers
Crusaders with their best effort so far.
Finley Thorndike lays the ball into Fraser Bryden at the edge of the Carrick area, and the Scottish striker cuts inside before offloading with his left foot, but it is straight at Nathan Gartside in goal.
Something for the home fans to cheer.
Coleraine 0-0 Linfield
Midway through the opening half and the visitors are beginning to settle into this game following a bright start from the home side.
Glentoran 0-0 Portadown
Danny Amos strikes venomously from outside the area as he runs on to a bouncing ball and sees his effort blocked by Lewis MacKinnon.
Amos' strike had Aaron McCarey worried in the Portadown goal before MacKinnon's vital block.
Glenavon 0-0 Dungannon Swifts
A stop-start affair as Mark Dillon awards numerous free-kicks around the centre of the pitch for both teams.
Not a lot in the way of attacking chances so far.
