    Dungannon Swifts 1-0 Linfield

    The Swifts lead at the break through Douglas Wilson's 41st-minute header.

  2. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:46 BST 27 October 2018

    Coleraine 1-2 Cliftonville

    This is a mad game. Cliftonville come again through Joe Gormley whose initial shot is saved by the legs of Chris Johns. Gormely tries and overhead kick from the rebound and it's is eventually smothered by Johns at the second attempt.

    End of a brilliantly entertaining half, Cliftonville lead.

  3. Double save from Carrollpublished at 15:46 BST 27 October 2018

    Dungannon Swifts 1-0 Linfield

    The Swifts come close to doubling their lead but Linfield stopper Roy Carroll keeps two efforts from Daniel Hughes out with good saves.

  4. Brush saves Cliftonville's leadpublished at 15:44 BST 27 October 2018

    Coleraine 1-2 Cliftonville

    Darren McCauley is stood with his mouth gaping wide open and his head in his hands. he has no idea how that hasn't gone in and neither does anyone else. Except Richard Brush.

    Coleraine have more joy down the right and it looks like they are in for a carbon copy of their first goal as it comes on to McCauley a few yards from goal, all alone, he sends it goalwards but somehow Brush gets a sprawling foot to it and the ball goes over the top.

    Glentoran 2-0 Ards

    McDaid makes it two with a fine finish! Back in the team after injury, McDaid - who this week celebrated his 22nd birthday - slotted a low shot beyond Johnston having been found by the roving Redman. It looks a long way back for Ards now.

  6. goal

    GOALpublished at 15:41 BST 27 October 2018

    Dungannon Swifts 1-0 Linfield

    Douglas Wilson with a long-range looping header gives the Swifts the lead.

    Mark Patton delivered a left-wing free-kick with pace and the big centre-half stooped to get great purchase on the header and lob it in over Roy Carroll.

  7. More to come in Colerainepublished at 15:39 BST 27 October 2018

    Coleraine 1-2 Cliftonville

    This game is good fun. End to end and lots of openings for both sides.

    If I put the scud on this then I profusely apologise, but I would be amazed if we don't see more goals at the Showgrounds this afternoon.

  8. Low-key affair at Milltownpublished at 15:37 BST 27 October 2018

    Warrenpoint Town 0-0 Institute

    Little to report by way of chances for either side in the opening half hour at Warrenpoint - this game is crying out for a goal.

  9. goal

    GOALpublished at 15:36 BST 27 October 2018

    Coleraine 1-2 Cliftonville

    Coleraine needed the next goal and they have got it through Darren McCauley.

    Lovely move as Stephen O'Donnell plays Jamie McGonigle down the right channel and the striker does brilliantly to get down the byline and slide a perfect ball across goal for McCauley to slot home in the 37th minute.

  11. Dynamo Davidson catching the eyepublished at 15:35 BST 27 October 2018

    Glentoran 1-0 Ards

    Dylan Davidson, for whom they have high hopes at Glentoran, has looked razor-sharp throughout the opening half-hour. The 19-year-old midfielder has given the hosts a willing outlet down the right but has demonstrated a willingness to mix up his runs by either keeping tight to the touchline or driving infield to pick out a teammate.

  12. Lindsay will like what he's seespublished at 15:35 BST 27 October 2018

    Dungannon Swifts 0-0 Linfield

    Dungannon had to withstand some early pressure from Linfield, but they've looked solid and are now starting to impose themselves on this game.

    Swifts boss Kris Lindsay will no doubt be happy if they can keep their cleansheet until the break.

  13. Breeze blocking Crues progresspublished at 15:34 BST 27 October 2018

    Ballymena Utd 1-0 Crusaders

    The champions have been far from their best but they are also playing into a stiff breeze, which should push them on in the second half.

  14. Cliftonville quickfire doublepublished at 15:32 BST 27 October 2018

    Coleraine 0-2 Cliftonville

    Cliftonville fly out of the traps to score twice in the opening exchanges at the Showgrounds.

  15. McCauley and Carson need to control the game - Youngpublished at 15:31 BST 27 October 2018

    Coleraine need to keep getting Carson on the ball and getting McCauley into the game and running at the full back. Jaimie McGovern has not been tested once yet.

    Crusaders are lacking cohesion and Ballymena should be further ahead. They will be kicking themselves if it is just 1-0 at the break.

  17. Coleraine attempt a fightbackpublished at 15:28 BST 27 October 2018

    Coleraine 0-2 Cliftonville

    Aaron Burns gets up at the back post but can't keep his header down. Up at the other end Ryan Curran has looked dynamic having been brought into the starting line-up.

    We all know that on their day Cliftonville have an attack that will cause nightmares for any defence in the league. Signs after the opening half hour are that today might just be their day.

  18. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:28 BST 27 October 2018

    Glentoran 1-0 Ards

    The visitors are struggling under the pressure here. A sweeping move down the left produces another great opportunity for Herron, who clips the crossbar from ten yards out. His first effort was from distance but the midfielder should have hit the target there, especially after Ross Redman's enterprising run down the left.

  20. Stafford heads over the barpublished at 15:25 BST 27 October 2018

    Dungannon Swifts 0-0 Linfield

    Mark Stafford gets on the end of the corner - as he tends to do - but puts his header over the bar.

    No goals but plenty of goalmouth action so far.
