FT: Glenavon 0-1 Ballymena United
A delighted Ballymena United boss Jim Ervin can see why Glenavon fans had misgivings about the decisive penalty at Mourneview Park but equally understands why is was awarded.
"Aaron Jarvis is teeing to lay the ball off and the boy comes into from the back of him and barges him over," said Ervin.
"Thankfully for us, Jamie has given the penalty and Ben has stepped up and scored it."

It was an entertaining game; the finish was fantastic. Kyle McClean scored two fantastic goals and Linfield deserved to win, it was a massive three points at a really difficult place to come.

Linfield two-goal hero Kyle McClean on Sportsound: "It was manic in the last 10 minutes but we are delighted to get three points, it is a really tough place to come and thankfully we held on."

Darren Murphy
Sportsound summariser
After not a great first half from either side, Glentoran were very good in the second half and Declan Devine will be delighted with his team. Glentoran got the ball into dangerous areas in the second half and really put Dungannon under a lot of pressure.

Crusaders 2-3 Linfield
What a finish as Chris Johns saves from a Lewis Barr header to secure all three points! The game never should have been that tense but the Crues almost nicked a point right at the death.
To add to the drama, David Healy has been sent off on the whistle by referee Chris Morrison for encroaching on to the field right on the final whistle.
Carrick Rangers 2-1 Coleraine
Stephen Baxter's side claim all three points to secure back-to-back wins for the home side following first-half goals from Paul Heatley and Danny Gibson.
Glenavon 0-1 Ballymena United
The final whistle blows and Ballymena's players celebrate wildly.
Not a game that will live long in the memory but that victory - their 11th in a row in all competitions - clearly means a lot to the visitors, who remain top of the table.
Jimmy Callacher - 90+4mins
I am maybe being generous to Callacher as there was some confusion over the scorer but he is being credited with it after the ball ricocheted home through a crowd of bodies.
It may have been an own goal but, for now, it looks as though the two ex-Linfield men have scored. It gives the last moments some life but surely it is too little too late?
Glentoran 2-0 Dungannon Swifts
Glentoran are the 2-0 victors at the Oval after two goals in three minutes from David Fisher and Paddy McClean.
After a slow opening 45 minutes, it was a much more entertaining second half with Patrick Solis Grogan and the post denying the home side more goals
Glenavon 0-1 Ballymena United
Ballymena make a triple change in stoppage time.
Off go Donal Rocks, Andy Scott and Ben Kennedy. In their place come Stephen O'Donnell, Oisin Devlin and Alex Gawne.
Crusaders 1-3 Linfield
We will have five added minutes here just like we did at the end of the first half. The Linfield fans are enjoying themselves now as there are plenty of empty seats in the home end at Seaview.
Glenavon 0-1 Ballymena United
There will be three minutes of additional time at Mourneview Park.
Carrick Rangers 2-1 Coleraine
Five minutes of additional time.
Glentoran 2-0 Dungannon Swifts
We're into three minutes of additional time.
Carrick Rangers 2-1 Coleraine
David Cushley's enthusiasm gets the better of him as he lunges in late on Jamie Glackin.
Shane McGonigle's whistle blows sharply, and the yellow card is brandished.
