    Coleraine 0-2 Glenavon

    A third terrific stop from Gareth Deane as he arcs high to his left to keep out Dylan Boyle's curling effort from the edge of the area.

    The keeper has certainly enjoyed his return to his old stomping ground.

    The pace has dropped noticeably, even with the substitutions.

    Standing ovation for goal scorer Joel Cooper as he is replaced by Rhys Annett.

    Dungannon Swifts 1-0 Ballymena United

    Danny Lafferty's corner for Ballymena is met with a firm header by Kym Nelson but his effort is straight at Swifts keeper Patrick Solis Grogan.

    Dungannon Swifts 1-0 Ballymena United

    Calvin McCurry makes strides down the left for Ballymena before firing a superb low centre across the face of the Dungannon goal but there are no takers.

    The striker asks the question of his team-mates as to why no-one was busting a gut to get on the end of it - he may well have a point.

    That's a big game. You would probably foresee those two teams being down near the bottom half of the league and even at the early stage, a win is going to be a good three points.

  7. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:38 British Summer Time 24 August 2024

    Crusaders 1-1 Cliftonville

    Jim Magilton responds with a double change, replacing Joe Gormley and Shea Gordon with Destiny Ojo and 17-year-old Ryan Corrigan.

    It's a bold move from the Cliftonville boss, opting for youth at such a crucial stage of the game.

  8. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 16:36 British Summer Time 24 August 2024

    Dungannon Swifts 1-0 Ballymena United

    Ballymena believe they have equalised as Danny Lafferty's free kick is headed down in the penalty area by Stephen O'Donnell but as Ben Kennedy tucks home the loose ball, he looks up to see the referee's assistant's flag raised for offside.

    Coleraine 0-2 Glenavon

    Into the final 15 minutes where Glenavon continue to frustrate their hosts.

    Gareth Deane, who produced two memorable saves in the opening half, has been a virtual spectator since half-time, testament to the super job those in front of him are doing.

  11. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:33 British Summer Time 24 August 2024

    Dungannon Swifts 1-0 Ballymena United

    Ballymena boss Jim Ervin freshens up his attack by bringing on Alex Gawne in place of Andrew Scott.

    Dungannon respond by withdrawing Niall Owens and Bobby-Jack McAleese and replacing them with John Scott and Dylan King.

    There are 15 minutes left at Stangmore Park

  12. Jordan Stewart 'really impressive'published at 16:33 British Summer Time 24 August 2024

    Slightly disappointing that Jordan Stewart has gone off. Declan Caddell is probably managing the body of Jordan more than anything else.

    He has been really, really impressive and if you can get that level of performance out of Jordan going forward, he will be some player.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:33 British Summer Time 24 August 2024

    Linfield 5 - 1 Loughgall

    Triple substitution for Loughgall after their opening goal, with Alberto Balde Almanzar, Adam Towe and Conor McCloskey coming on for Ryan Waide, Andrew Hoey, and Ben Harvey.

    Shortly afterwards Linfield make a double substitution, with Cameron Ballantyne and Ryan McKay replacing Chris McKee and Matthew Fitzpatrick.

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:31 British Summer Time 24 August 2024

    Crusaders 1-1 Cliftonville

    Declan Caddell makes a double change, bringing on Harry Jewitt-White and Stewart Nixon for Harry Franklin and the impressive Jordan Stewart.

    The Reds midfield will breathe a collective sigh of relief as Stewart makes his way to the bench, having been unplayable at times for the home side.

    Coleraine 0-2 Glenavon

    Now it's the turn of Glenavon manager Stephen McDonnell to ring the changes.

    Goalscorers Davy McDaid and Keith Ward depart to loud cheers from the visiting supporters and are replaced by James Carroll and Michael O'Connor.

  20. 'Crusaders are looking really threatening'published at 16:27 British Summer Time 24 August 2024

    I think Jim Magilton would be happy enough to come away from here with a point because Crusaders are looking really, really threatening on the attack.
