  1. CLOSE!

    Cliftonville 0-1 Linfield

    Brian Neeson spares Jamie Harney's blushes after the defender's slack back header, the keeper plucking the ball out of the air under pressure from two Linfield attackers.

  2. Reds better in second half

    Cliftonville 0-1 Linfield

    Cliftonville have definitely started the second half better than they were for most of the first half. They are getting the ball wide to Chris Curran who is putting the ball into the box.

  3. Carrick on the front foot

    Carrick Rangers 1-2 Warrenpoint Town

    The hosts have controlled the opening stages of the second half but they still trail. Eamon Scannell is looking dangerous when he gets on the ball.

    Lee Chapman sends a ball fizzing across the box from the right and goalkeeper Jonny Parr does well to get a fist to it before the arriving Darren Henderson can connect.

  4. PENALTY APPEAL

    Cliftonville 0-1 Linfield

    Cliftonville's Jay Donnelly collects a Chris Curran cross from the right before going down inside the Linfield penalty area but referee Andrew Davey remains unmoved.

  8. Linfield lead well merited - Clingan

    Cliftonville 0-1 Linfield

    I think Linfield are deserving of their 1-0 lead - I feel they have had the better of the chances. It was a great set-piece by Kirk Millar for the goal, a well-worked move off the training ground.

  9. HALF-TIME

    Carrick Rangers 1-2 Warrenpoint Town

    An entertaining half comes to a close at Taylor's Avenue.

    Two goals in the opening 22 minutes put Warrenpoint in control. Conor McMenamin opened the scoring, capitalising on a mistake by keeper Harry Doherty. McMenamin then set up Seanna Foster who doubled the lead with a confident finish.

    Paddy McNally pulled one back for Carrick on the half hour mark, heading home an Eamon Scannell cross.

    All to play for in the second half.

  10. HALF-TIME

  12. goal

    GOAL

    Cliftonville 0-1 Linfield

    Linfield go in front as Jimmy Callacher arrives unmarked to head home from Kirk Millar's corner.

    It's the in-form defender's third goal in his last three games.

  13. CLOSE!

    Cliftonville 0-0 Linfield

    Andy Waterworth bursts into the area, with Cliftonville appeals for offiside in vain, and bundles the ball across the face of goal with Cliftonville keeper Brian Neeson happy to grab the loose ball at the second attempt.

  14. Harney header hits Blues bar

  16. GREAT SAVE!

    Cliftonville 0-0 Linfield

    Jay Donnelly's miscued shot falls into the path of Chris Curran but his effort is well saved by the outstretched leg of Linfield keeper Gareth Deane.

  17. goal

    GOAL

    Carrick Rangers 1-2 Warrenpoint Town

    A Paddy McNally header pulls one back for Carrick. I was about to tell you that Carrick have not been in this game but they've scored with their first real surge into Warrenpoint territory.

    Eamon Scannell lofts the ball into the box and McNally attacks it brilliantly, sending a downwards header into the bottom corner.

  18. HITS THE WOODWORK

    Cliftonville 0-0 Linfield

    Ruairi Harkin's free kick from the left touchline lacks pace but finds the head of Jamie Harney whose header loops over Gareth Deane but comes back off the crossbar, with Garry Breen unable to direct the follow-up goalwards.

  19. goal

    GOAL

    Carrick Rangers 0-2 Warrenpoint Town

    Seanna Foster doubles the lead.

    Conor McMenamin, who has been the game's best player so far, turns provider as he twists past his man on the left before delivering a low cross into the box.

    It bobbles off a Carrick defender into the path of Foster who makes no mistake as he finishes into the bottom corner.

  20. CLOSE!

    Cliftonville 0-0 Linfield

    Kirk Millar delays his shot, which then hits team-mate Andy Waterworth and the ball falls for Achille Campion 12 yards out but the French striker can only blaze his effort wastefully over.

    Another good opening for Linfield comes to nothing.
