Bangor skipper Lewis Harrison halts Tiarnan O'Connor's forward progress rather abruptly and finds his name in referee Mark Dillon's notebook.

Watch how Andy Ryan's goal gave Larne the lead against Bangor at Inver Park.

Will Patching's corner causes all manner of confusion in the Glenavon defence but neither Matthew Shevlin nor Mark Connolly can get a vital touch.

A let-off for the visitors.

Watch as Coleraine take advantage of some slack defending from the away side and break the deadlock.

As mentioned earlier, Joel Cooper netted three times last time the sides met at the Coleraine Showgrounds. Can he bag the match ball again tonight?

Almost a chaotic Bangor own goal as Tomas Cosgrove's fierce cross from the right is inadvertently drives goalwards by the back-pedalling Stephen Fallon but the ball ricochets off the chest of keeper Gareth Deane - who didn't seem to know an awful lot about it - and is eventually cleared.

Ryan Schofield punches the ball away from a Peter Campbell free-kick in the direction of the waiting Jordan McMullan who blasts his volley high over the crossbar from 20 yards.

An injury delay to Bangor's Welsh defender Iestyn Hughes gives both sides an opportunity to take on some fluids and have a quick tactical debrief.

Coleraine keeper Ryan Scofield, backpedalling, tips away a Sean Carlin corner from underneath his own crossbar.

Glenavon making the most of the strong wind at their backs in this first half.

Rowan McDonald with a timely header to halt a Glenavon attack at the expense of a corner.

Coleraine come close to doubling their lead on two occasions inside a minute.

First, Mark Connolly completely misdirects his header from a Will Patching corner before Joel Cooper volleys narrowly over the crossbar after a second Patching corner is cleared to him on the edge of the box.

Larne almost double their advantage as the in-rushing Leroy Millar meets Sean Graham's cross from the left with a powerful header but Gareth Deane springs across his goal at full stretch to somehow palm the ball out.

That is an absolute wonder save from the Bangor stopper.

Larne's Jordan McEneff tries his luck with a long-range strike which swerves through the air, forcing Gareth Deane into a good, if unorthodox save, with defender Harry Lynch following up to head clear.

That is a disappointing goal from a Glenavon point of view.

For the first 19 minutes, they have been comfortable and not tested by Coleraine.

They switched off there.

Tiarnan O'Connor, fresh from recovering from his brush with the advertising hoarding, suffers another painful one as he takes a Bangor clearance in the face.

The Larne striker has certainly been in the wars in the opening stages here.

That's a couple of misplaced passes out of defence now from the home side.

Head coach Ruaidhri Higgins not impressed on the touchline.

The ball breaks kindly for Larne striker Andy Ryan on the edge of the penalty area.

The Scottish striker absolutely leathers it with his favoured left foot but thankfully, from Bangor's perspective, it's straight down the throat of keeper Gareth Deane.

Quarter of an hour gone at the Showgrounds where neither keeper has had anything to do.
