  1. HALF-TIME

    Glentoran 1-0 Coleraine

    Michael O'Connor's goal midway through the first half lit up a fairly forgettable 45 minutes at the Oval.

  2. goal

    GOAL

    Glenavon 0-1 Dungannon Swifts

    Dungannon hit the front at Mourneview with a well-worked Rhyss Campbell goal two minutes before the interval.

    The Swifts work the ball quickly with Campbell eventually converting from a Ben Gallagher cross.

    GOAL

    Carrick Rangers 1-0 Ballymena Utd

    David Cushley fires Carrick Rangers into the lead five minutes before half-time.

    Kyle Cherry’s corner found Cushley free at the back post and he rifled in through a crowd of bodies.

    The ex-Ballymena player's strike came just a few minutes after Ben Tilney had cleared Ryan Waide's header off the line at the other end.

  5. Sweet strike

    Cliftonville 1-0 Linfield

    There was no rushing Jamie McDonagh.

    Impressive composure from the winger as he gives Cliftonville the lead with a crisp, low drive.

    No saving that.

  6. goal

    GOAL

    Warrenpoint Town 0-2 Larne

    Wow! Two goals in two minutes for the visitors as Lee Bonis doubles Larne's advantage.

    The big striker makes the first repayment on his transfer fee as he bundles the ball home from close range from a Ben Doherty cross with referee Evan Boyce adjudging that 'Point keeper Stephen McMullan hadn't prevented the ball from crossing the goal-line.

    To say that Warrenpoint manager Barry Gray doesn't agree with that decision would be understating the case somewhat.

  7. O'Connor makes his mark

    Glentoran 1-0 Coleraine

    The first of many for Michael O'Connor in a green shirt?

  8. goal

    GOAL

    Warrenpoint Town 0-1 Larne

    Larne hit the front as David McDaid deflects John Herron's shot home.

    The visitors have been turning the screw in the last few minutes and have finally made the breakthrough.

  9. *Not* to get carried away so early on but if things stay like this then Glentoran will be level on points with Linfield at the top of the table, with Cliftonville just two points adrift in third.

    What. A. Title. Race.

  10. No quarter asked...

    Cliftonville 1-0 Linfield

    ... and none given.

  11. Carrick Rangers 0-0 Ballymena Utd

    Closest we have come to a goal so far as Jordan Gibson's header is palmed away by United's debutant goalkeeper Ciaran Gallagher.

  12. goal

    GOAL

    Glentoran 1-0 Coleraine

    Michael O'Connor opens his account for the Glens and we have our breakthrough!

    There's some brilliant work by Robbie McDaid to bring the ball down in the area and turn into some space.

    He dinks the ball towards the six-yard box and O'Connor is there with an emphatic finish after ghosting in between the Coleraine defence.

  13. Glentoran 0-0 Coleraine

    Jamie Glackin once scored directly from a corner at that very spot. Tonight the flag gets its revenge by spoiling his latest attempt.

  14. Glenavon 0-0 Dungannon Swifts

    If Glenavon can find their shooting boots, it could be a long evening for the Swifts.

    The Lurgan Blues have fashioned a number of openings but have been unable to test Dungannon keeper Declan Dunne with any of them, with Jack O'Mahony the latest home player to fire an effort narrowly off-target.

    It's clearly proving contagious because Terry Devlin has done exactly the same thing at the other end, flashing a shot just wide.

  15. Cliftonville 1-0 Linfield

    Stephen Fallon comes close for Linfield.

    A corner was only partially cleared and the midfielder lifted it towards goal but it was just too high and drifted over the crossbar.

    Decent response to falling behind from the Blues.

  16. Carrick Rangers 0-0 Ballymena Utd

    It's been a cagey first 25 minutes at Taylors Avenue - plenty of endeavour but with goalmouth action at a premium.

  17. Glentoran 0-0 Coleraine

    There's not been a lot of goalmouth action at the Oval but Glentoran midfielder Sean Murray could easily be a contestant on Dancing on Ice with the way he is gliding past players tonight.

    He wins a free-kick off Conor McKendry deep in the Coleraine half but it comes to nothing.

    Other non-ice dancing shows are available...

  18. GREAT SAVE!

    Portadown 0-0 Crusaders

    A curled effort from Crusaders' Ben Kennedy calls Ports goalkeeper Jethren Barr into action but he saves comfortably.

  19. Warrenpoint Town 0-0 Larne

    Ronan Hale's corner for Larne is met by a thumping header from close range by central defender Cian Bolger but the ball whistles narrowly over.

    One of those situations where you were waiting for the net to ripple.

  20. goal

    GOAL

    Cliftonville 1-0 Linfield

    The deadlock is broken and it's the home team that have done it.

    Jamie McDonagh fires home the opener in the 15th minute - and fine strike it was too.

    Conor McDermott got forward well and, from his centre, McDonagh and Ryan Curran both had shots blocked. When the ball fell to McDonagh just outside the box, the winger composed himself before firing a clinical low drive right into the bottom corner.
