Glenavon into more of a flow at Mourneview Park as they get on the front foot with Rohan Ferguson needing to be alert to get down and intercpet Michael O'Connor's cut-back.

What a chance for Coleraine to open the scoring.

A ball over the top of the Portadown defence from Ronan Doherty finds Matthew Shevlin space.

The striker controls the ball on his chest but blazes his left foot shot well wide of the target.

David Fisher charges forward and, sandwiched between Jacob Blaney and Jimmy Callacher, falls in the box.

The home fans are appealing for a penalty but referee Steven Gregg disagrees and waves play on.

Shea Gordon swings in a teasing corner for the visitors, and Jack Keaney meets it under pressure from Luke McCullough.

He does well to get something on it, but the header drifts wide of the far post.

Larne's Jordan McEneff not impressed here as he collides with referee Michael McKenna and play allowed to continue, yet comes to nothing. Borderline yellow card, nonetheless.

Huge chance wasted for Carrick!

Danny Gibson bursts clear and finds himself one-on-one with Lewis Ridd, but the stopper stands tall and makes a crucial save, turning it behind.

It's a cautious opening here at Solitude, with the hosts patiently knocking it about at the back.

The Reds look comfortable enough but haven't yet tested Jack McIntyre.

Stephen Baxter's charges seem happy to sit back and wait their turn. Early doors, but let's hope things liven up.

After a minute's silence for Trevor Thompson and George Allen Thompson, we're under way at a wet and rainy Oval.

Can Crusaders guarantee a top six position?

Let us know via the thumbs below.

Larne straight on the front foot immediately and Mark Randall has a crack that Tadhg Ryan seemed to fumble in the tricky conditions but is quick to regather.

An enforced change for the visitors even before a ball has been kicked.

James Wright takes his place among the replacements.

Not the start Portadown boss Niall Currie would have wanted.

It is a bit of a different sort of shape for Crusaders but boss Declan Caddell will hope to come here and get a result.
