The card count keeps mounting for Paddy McLaughlin's men.

This time, it's Kris Lowe's name in the book following a foul on Dylan Boyle.

Dungannon's players don’t look too pleased with Tomas Galvin there.

The space opened up and he decided to shoot but the ball harmlessly trickled wide of the net when other players were in advanced positions.

There's cool, and then there's Ben Kennedy from 12 yards.

Adam Lecky rises highest to head home Carrick Rangers' first goal at Stangmore Park.

Glentoran are awarded a free-kick just outside the box, but Danny Amos' delivery hits the Crusaders' wall.

A second yellow card and it's a second for the home side.

Former Coleraine defender Kyle McClelland goes into the book for an overly robust challenge on the halfway line.

Lewis McGregor is spoken to by referee Mark Dillon following a foul on Paul McGovern in front of the dug outs.

It seems pretty clear to all that it's his final warning.

Reece Neale's clever through ball puts Ben Arthurs in behind the Ballymena defence but the striker can't get the necessary purchase on his effort to trouble Sean O'Neill.

The game needed a goal, and it was well-worked from Glentoran. When the ball came back off the post, they were quick to react and it is now all uphill for Crusaders.

Joel Thompson makes strides down Ballymena's left flank and his cross is met on the half-volley by Ben Kennedy but his effort is off-target.

Ballymena's approach play has been easy on the eye in this opening half-hour.

A free-kick into the area from Brandon Bermingham misses everyone but almost makes its way into the back of the Carrick Rangers net, but for Nathan Gartside claiming it above his head.

Charles Dunne's afternoon is over.

He is unable to continue following that earlier Michael O'Connor challenge and is replaced by Adam Long, who makes his debut for Coleraine after signing in the summer from AFC Fylde.

Crusaders 0-0 Glentoran

There is a stoppage in play to let Lloyd Anderson receive treatment.

It looks like he will be able to play on though.

Adam Brooks misjudges Jordan Forsythe's cross into the box and the ball sails out of play.

Brooks was in a really good position there and that was a good chance.

A first yellow card of the afternoon and it's shown to Glenavon front man Michael O'Connor for a late lunge on Charles Dunne as he carries the ball out of defence.

The big defender is down receiving treatment.

Kurtis Forsythe's cross into the box is straight at stopper Andrew Mills, to the frustration of the home fans.

Stephen Mallon cuts in on his left foot but curls his effort high over the bar from 20 yards.

Encouragement for the home side in the past few minutes.
