  2. Windsor Park decider to be played on a Sunday for the first timepublished at 19:18 GMT 17 December 2021

    Coleraine to play Cliftonville on 13 March

    This season's League Cup final between holders Coleraine and Cliftonville will be played on a Sunday for the first time.

    The sides will meet at Windsor Park on 13 March, kicking off at 15:00 BST.

    Northern Ireland Football League Chief Executive Gerard Lawlor said he is aware it will be the first major domestic final in Northern Ireland to be played on a Sunday.

    The match had originally been scheduled for Saturday 19 February.

    A Sunday ban on club football in Northern Ireland had been in place until 2008 before it was removed.

  3. Festive funpublished at 19:16 GMT 17 December 2021

    Larne v Linfield (19:45 GMT)

    Who doesn't love the battle to become Christmas number one/Top of the tree/On the good list?

    You can delete as appropriate, but no matter what festive footballing cliché you throw at it we are set for a cracker this evening.

    Larne and Linfield rarely disappoint and they are on the grand stage of BBC Two NI and BBC iPlayer. Both are in title contention and won't want to drop points as the top six in the table are separated by just nine points.

    Oh, and there's the small matter of Glentoran against Glenavon too. We'll have live updates and in-play clips from the Oval.

    Let's go!
