Bangor's Stephen McGuinness is booked for bringing down Tiarnan O'Connor in the 'D' of the penalty area.

An impressive Larne debut comes to an end for Ronan Doherty as he is replaced by James Simpson.

Into the final 15 minutes where the home side are holding on to their slender 1-0 lead.

Watch how substitute Ben Cushnie made it 2-1 at Inver Park.

Referee Mark Dillon cautions Larne's Sean Graham and Bangor's Tiarnan Mulvenna after a rather unnecessary flare-up.

Tiarnan O'Connor fires a shot over the bar for Larne.

The home side have had a couple of near misses in goalmouth scrambles in recent minutes as they look for a third goal which will probably kill off the challenge of Bangor's 10 men.

The ball is in the Glenavon net but Coleraine cheers are quickly brought to an end by an assistant's flag.

Bangor complete their quota of substitutions as Jay Boyd and Liam Hassin replace Ben Arthurs and Stephen Fallon.

Larne striker Andy Ryan attempts to complete his hat-trick in the most spectacular fashion possible but his overhead kick from Ronan Doherty's cross is off-target.

It's Glenavon's turn to ring the changes as Michael O'Connor makes a triple substitution.

Stephen Mallon, John Mountney and Charlie Lindsay enter the fray, Gavin Gilmore, Sean Carlin and Nathaniel Ferris the men to make way.

A real blow for Bangor as skipper Lewis Harrison - booked in the first period - is shown a second yellow card by referee Mark Dillon just before the hour mark following a challenge on Sean Graham.

The midfielder can't really have too many complaints about that one and it has somewhat punctured the momentum that Bangor were building.

Another double substitution from Ruaidhri Higgins, this time in the 64th minute.

Will Patching, injured earlier, is replaced by James Akintunde while Ben Wylie comes on for Zane Okoro.

This game remains very much in the balance.

Good signs for Glenavon. Outside of the Coleraine goal, that is probably the only chance that has been carved out.

Gilmore will be disappointed he didn't hit the target. He maybe had a chance to take a touch with his left foot and get a strike off with his right. He did apologise to the others who were maybe in a better position behind him.

Coleraine head coach Ruaidhri Higgins has obviously seen enough and makes a double change in an attempt to wrestle back control of this game.

Senan Devine and Matthew Shevlin are withdrawn and are replaced by Dylan Boyle and Jamie McGonigle.

Jordan McEneff warms Gareth Deane's palms with a fierce shot as Larne look to regain their two-goal advantage.

The Lurgan Blues come within a whisker of levelling just before the hour.

Peter Campbell instigates the move just inside the Coleraine half before the ball is transferred to Gavin Gilmore who flashes his right foot shot narrowly over the crossbar from 15 yards.

A warning shot for the home side.

Tiarnan O'Connor curls the ball from the left-hand side of the Bangor penalty area but his effort is somewhere between a cross and a shot and drifts harmlessly behind.

Thankfully, from a Coleraine perspective, Patching is fit to continue.

A brief break in play as Coleraine midfielder Will Patching is down receiving treatment on the edge of his own box.

Head coach Ruaidhri Higgins won't want to lose him - the Englishman is the only man to have started every league game for the Bannsiders this season.
