A very early Linfield corner comes to nought as the two sets of fans try to out-sing each other.

We are underway under the lights at Inver Park. It is a crackling atmosphere as the hosts get us underway on Tony Clarke's whistle attacking their fervent fans in the Church End.

Good evening from Inver Park for what is sure to be an absolute cracker between champions Larne and league leaders Linfield.

As anticipated, it is a much-changed team for Tiernan Lynch from Wednesday's Shield semi final win over Crusaders. Only Rohan Ferguson, Shaun Want and Josh Seary keep their place.

For Linfield, they make two changes from their league win over Ballymena United last week with Charlie Allen missing and Matthew Orr away with Northern Ireland Under-19s. In come Cameron Ballantyne and Dane McCullough. Good news for Blues fans is the return to the squad of Chris McKee.

Larne: Ferguson, Want, Ives, Thomson, O'Neill, McEneff, Seary, Bolger (C), Todd, Gallagher, Ryan

Subs: Besant, Donnelly, McKendry, Graham, Marsh, Lusty, Wallace

Linfield: Walsh, Whiteside, Shields, Millar, Cooper, Ballantyne, Archer, Mulgrew (C), McGee, Fitzpatrick, McCullough

Subs: Johns, McKee, Annett, McKay, Thompson, Burns, Watson

Here's how Ryan Mayse sealed all three points for Portadown at the Oval

All over at Lakeview Park where Coleraine run out comfortable 4-0 winners over Loughgall.

Matthew Shevlin fired the visitors in front after just five minutes before Jamie McGonigle doubled the lead six minutes from half-time.

Rhyss Campbell made it 3-0 minutes later and Shevlin scored his second of the game on the hour mark to complete a rare away win for the Bannsiders.

The Swifts extend their remarkable home record against Glenavon with another commanding performance at Stangmore Park.

Barney McKeown's own goal and Kealan Dillon's composed finish seal their sixth straight home win over the visitors.

For Glenavon, another goalless display compounds their attacking troubles.

Cliftonville keeper David Odumosu, up from the back, heads over from a corner in the final action of the game.

Ballymena beat Cliftonville for the third time this season to end a run of four straight league defeats, thanks to Andy Scott's goal.

A brace from Paul Heatley and Emmett McGuckin's header means that Stephen Baxter's side gain three points in his first meeting against his former side.

Carrick Rangers now sit tenth in the table.

Since the third goal, there hasn't been much to talk about with Crusaders unable to break down the home side's resolute defence.

Not an afternoon to remember for Declan Caddell's side.

A double switch from the hosts as Tomas Galvin replaces Andy Mitchell, while there's a welcome sight for Swifts fans as Dean Curry makes his long-awaited return from injury, replacing Kealan Dillon.

Four minutes of added time remaining.

Taylor Steven cuts in from the right hand side but his left-footed shot is straight down the throat of United keeper Sean O'Neill.

Shay McCartan scores a penalty to give Portadown a late lead at the Oval.

Three additional minutes to be played.

There will be four minutes of additional time at the end of the second half.

Fourth official Gareth Stewart signals four minutes of additional time at Solitude.

Is there to be one final twist in this game?

As we enter the closing stages at Stangmore Park, Glenavon's attacking woes show no sign of abating.

The visitors appear destined for another blank in front of goal - a concerning statistic that would mean they've failed to score in nearly half their matches this season.

Joe Gormley thinks he has conjured up an equaliser for Cliftonville as he bundles the ball home from close range but assistant referee Rachel Greer has her flag raised for offside and the effort is disallowed.

Glens are throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Portadown but are lacking any clinical edge in the last quarter.

They are running out of time and possibly, ideas.

Carrick Rangers make another change with Steven Gordon on for David Cushley.
