It has been really bright from Glenavon and they have been playing some good football.

The key thing is [with] Glenavon having a good spell, they will want to capitalise and get the equaliser when they have momentum.

The second half begins with Bangor boss Lee Feeney having made a triple change at the interval.

Off go Reece Neale, Iestyn Hughes and Michael Morgan, replaced by Ben Cushnie, Robbie Garrett and Alfie Mitchell.

Again, the Coleraine wall repels the kick and the chance is gone.

Paul McGovern takes responsibility for the free-kick but the Coleraine wall does its job.

However, Glenavon win a second free-kick.

Charles Dunne goes into referee Declan Hassan's notebook for a foul on the edge of the box.

Free-kick in a good position for Glenavon.

No changes for either team at half-time.

Joel Cooper gets the ball rolling, Coleraine attacking the Railway End in the second half.

Carrick Rangers won the County Antrim Shield for the first time in 33 years with a 4-2 shootout win over Cliftonville after a 1-1 draw at Seaview.

Ryan Curran's strike in the third minute put Cliftonville in front but Adam Lecky equalised with 10 minutes remaining to send the game to a shootout.

Aidan Steele scored the winning penalty after Curran and Liam McStravick missed in their spot kicks.

It is the second time Carrick have won the County Antrim Shield in their history.

Two goals from stand-in skipper Pat Hoban saw Glentoran ease past Premier Intermediate League side Strabane Athletic and into the sixth round of the Irish Cup with a 4-0 win.

The fixture was originally due to be played on 10 January in Strabane, but was postponed because of a frozen pitch.

Moved instead to the Oval, new hosts Glentoran opened the scoring midway through the first half thanks to Jordan Stewart.

Danny Amos did brilliantly on the left to drill a low ball across the face of goal and there was Stewart to sweep the ball home first time from 12 yards..

Pat Hoban, captain for the night for the Glens in the absence of Marcus Kane, netted his 15th goal of the season deep into added time at the end of the first half.

Hoban netted his second just after the hour mark when again he was in the right place at the right time and found the target after Strabane Athletic goalkeeper Shane O'Gara had saved Stewart's goal bound effort.

Defender Michael-John Kamara added a fourth and final goal 12 minutes from time with the centre-back powerfully heading home a Amos corner.

Glentoran have completed a double swoop from Crusaders for Jarlath O'Rourke and Ross Clarke.

O'Rourke spent six years at Seaview following a move from Dungannon Swifts in 2019.

The 30-year-old defender made 246 appearances for the north Belfast club including 24 this season when he served as team captain.

"Even before getting out on the pitch with the lads, you can sense the standards around the place," O'Rourke said after the move was confirmed.

"It's a strong group, competitive in the right way and there's a real hunger within the squad to achieve something together."

Midfielder Clarke, 32, became the second player to swap Seaview for the Oval on Thursday.

The midfielder made 257 for the Crues since his arrival from Linfield in 2018, scoring 34 goals and claiming three Irish Cup winners medals in the process, but makes the move across the city to strengthen the right side of Glentoran's midfield.

"The opportunity to play full-time was one I couldn't turn down," Clarke said.

"Glentoran is a massive club with big expectations and you can see immediately the standards and professionalism around the place.

"It's a club with a real history and I'm proud to be pulling on the Glentoran jersey. I'll give everything I've got to make a success of my time here and do my bit for the team."

The half-time whistle blows at Inver Park and the visitors will probably be quite happy to hear it.

Larne are in total control of this game and look as though they may have more goals in them.

The width of the upright prevents Andy Ryan from completing a first half hat-trick.

Larne break quickly on the left and Leroy Millar fires the ball across the face of the penalty area where Ryan hits a first-time strike which comes off the inside of the post and spins out for a goal kick.

Outside of the goal, there hasn't been much in the game. I don't think Jacob Carney has had another save to make.

It is up to Glenavon now to come out and try get the equaliser.

The home side lead at the break thanks to Joel Cooper's 16th league goal of the season, scored in the 20th minute.

Zane Okoro broke clear of marker Paddy Burns before running into the penalty area where he square for Cooper who took a touch to control the ball before firing low into the bottom corner.

Glenavon have been restricted to half chances during a half in which Coleraine have dominated possession.

There is no one getting in the box for Glenavon and really wanting to score that goal.

They need to look at that and improve.

Into one additional minute at Ballycastle Road.
