  4. RED CARDpublished at 15:40 British Summer Time 16 August

    Dungannon Swifts 1-2 Portadown

    That is a massive, massive blow for Dungannon.

    Just as they were starting to build some real momentum, their skipper, Gael Bigirimana, is shown a straight red card for a late challenge on Eamon Fyfe right in the centre circle.

    Steven Gregg was in no doubt, and the hosts are down to 10 men.

    Dungannon Swifts 1-2 Portadown

    Dungannon are pushing for an equaliser.

    Adam Glenny drives up the left flank and delivers a teasing ball into the penalty area, but there's not a blue shirt in sight to take advantage.

    Steven McCullough gets across to clear the danger with ease.

    GOAL- Carrick Rangers 1-0 Glenavonpublished at 15:37 British Summer Time 16 August

    Danny Gibson (37 mins)

    Danny Gibson breaks the deadlock!

    Carrick push forward and Glenavon fail to clear their lines with Paul Heatley sending the ball across the box for Gibson to tap home at the near post.

    Stephen Baxter will be delighted with how Gibson has started the season and he has now netted three goals in the opening two fixtures.

  9. Postpublished at 15:35 British Summer Time 16 August

    Dungannon Swifts 1-2 Portadown

    A really bright move from the home side. Gael Bigirimana wins possession and finds Kealan Dillon, who quickly lays it off for Adam Glenny.

    The defender takes a touch and hits it from 25 yards out, but it’s always going wide of the far post. Decent build-up but a disappointing finish.

    Glentoran 0-0 Bangor

    Jordan Stewart's inswinging cross from the right sees Bangor goalkeeper Gareth Deane and his defenders somewhat leave it to each other.

    Danny Amos gets on the end of the cross but Deane puts him under enough pressure for the Glentoran player to head over.

  12. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:33 British Summer Time 16 August

    Carrick Rangers 0-0 Glenavon

    Luke O'Brien is cautioned for a foul on Francely Lomboto.

    Good defending from Luke Conlan to snuff out a Coleraine attack.

  14. CLOSE!published at 15:32 British Summer Time 16 August

    Carrick Rangers 0-0 Glenavon

    And now it is Glenavon who have a big chance!

    Davy McDaid does well to beat his marker to the ball and fires inches wide of the left hand post.

    Will those two chances spark this game to life?!

  15. CLOSE!published at 15:31 British Summer Time 16 August

    Carrick Rangers 0-0 Glenavon

    A curling cross from the left falls perfectly for Paul Heatley, whose header is quickly gathered by Jacob Carney.

    Dungannon Swifts 1-2 Portadown

    You'd think the hosts would have learned!

    Another Eamon Fyfe corner finds Josh Ukek at the near post, with what looked like a carbon copy of the second goal, but this time Danny Wallace is on hand to make a vital clearance just inside the six-yard box.

    The home side are still living dangerously on set-pieces.

    It has been a very scrappy start - both sides are trying to bypass their midfield and are playing very direct.

    Cliftonville 0-0 Coleraine

    Massive shout for handball from Reds' fans as Charles Dunne defends on the edge of his own box.

    Jack Malone controls the ball at the edge of the box, turns and fires well wide.
