Coleraine 0-2 Glenavon
Dean Jarvis with a free header from Jack Scott's corner fails to find the target.
Coleraine 0-2 Glenavon
Glenavon have Coleraine just where they want them.
The Bannsiders, forced to attack, are leaving space for their opponents to run into on the counter.
Could be more goals in this game.
Crusaders 1-1 Cliftonville
Ryan Curran whips in a cross for Joe Gormley, but the ball is slightly behind the striker.
Gormley sets up Shea Gordon who wastes no time, hitting a first-time effort, but his strike takes a deflection on its way to Jonny Tuffey, who gathers with ease.
Linfield 4 - 0 Loughgall
First effort on target for Loughgall from Pablo Andrade at the beginning of the second half.
It looked as though it may be a speculative effort from long range, but it curves in the air and the best Chris Johns can do in the Linfield goal is to palm it away from goal.

It was a brilliant goal by Keith Ward, but it was an awful pass from Lyndon Kane inside. He was under very little pressure and he has played the ball inside to no one apart from Keith Ward.
Keith Ward (49 mins)
We have a real shock on our hands at the Showgrounds as winless Glenavon double their lead against Coleraine.
Lyndon Kane's misplaced pass allows Keith Ward to dance through a static home defence before he plants a low right foot shot low into the bottom corner.
How will Coleraine respond?
Crusaders 1-1 Cliftonville
David Odumosu pulls off a stunning save to deny Crusaders!
The hosts break quickly from a Cliftonville corner, with Jordan Stewart playing a perfectly weighted pass in behind for Kieran Offord.
The striker cuts past Axel Piesold with ease, but his curling effort is brilliantly turned behind by Odumosu, who continues to keep his side in the game.
Stewart and Offord have been electric throughout, causing constant problems for the Reds' defence.
Dungannon Swifts 1-0 Ballymena United
Dungannon have another promising free kick from a similar position from which Kealan Dillon Scored in the first half.
This time it's the other side of the pitch and Adam Glenny puts his effort narrowly wide.
Linfield 4-0 Loughgall 0
No changes from either side but Loughgall will really need to up their game to prevent a repeat of their torrid first half at Windsor Park.
Linfield 4-0 Loughgall
Radio Ulster analyst Curtis Allen
It's been a strange watch. Loughgall, who we played a couple of weeks ago looked athletic and pretty good, but I suppose when you go out onto the big pitch at Windsor you can get swallowed up very quickly.
Crusaders 1-1 Cliftonville
Kieran Offord finds Jacob Blaney in space outside the area, and the midfielder unleashes a powerful first-time strike that has David Odumosu scrambling.
The Reds keeper gets down low to parry the shot, but it takes a second attempt for him to gather the ball securely.
Coleraine 0-1 Glenavon
Jamie McGonigle gets us back underway at the Showgrounds.
The home side are attacking their favoured Railway End in this second half.
Dungannon Swifts 1-0 Ballymena United
The second half begins with one change from Ballymena as striker Johnny McMurray replaces defender Caolan Loughran.
Crusaders 1-1 Cliftonville
The second half is underway, with Jordan Stewart getting the ball rolling for the home side.
Both managers have opted to stick with the eleven they started with.

There is a work rate, desire and a hunger about Glenavon today.

There is no luck about Gareth Deane's saves. The save from the header from the corner was world class and the second one was better.
Linfield 4 - 0 Loughgall 0
League leaders Linfield find themselves four goals to the good here at Windsor Park against Loughgall and it could have been even more.
Chris McKee opened the scoring with a calm finish from the penalty spot after a handball was awarded.
Samuel Roscoe-Byrne grabbed himself two goals, one a towering header from corner and the other a glancing finish from a Joel Cooper cross.
Cooper also got himself on the scoresheet with a neat finish after being played through on goal by McKee.
Coleraine 0-1 Glenavon
Half-time at the Showgrounds where bottom of the table Glenavon lead 1-0 thanks to Davy McDaid's second minute goal.
Coleraine enjoyed plenty of possession in the ensuing 43 minutes but have found Gareth Deane in top form.
Twice he has produced remarkable saves to deny Cameron Stewart and Mackenzie Carse.
Plenty, then, for both managers to ponder on during the break.

Really good game, great crowd and a good atmosphere.
Crusaders have played very well, attacking the game well and Cliftonville have shown dangerous spells when they are coming short and checking in behind.
A draw is probably a fair enough result at half-time, looking forward to a second half which is the same.
Dungannon Swifts 1-0 Ballymena United
Kealan DIllon's free kick separates the sides at half-time at Stangmore Park.
There have also been two cautions for each side, with Dungannon's Niall Owens and Cahal McGinty and the Ballymena duo of Caolan Loughran and Josh Carson finding their way into referee Ian McNabb's notebook.
