    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.

    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.

  11. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:54 British Summer Time 12 October 2024

    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.

    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.

    GOAL Crusaders 2-3 Linfieldpublished at 16:53 British Summer Time 12 October 2024

    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?

  14. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:53 British Summer Time 12 October 2024

    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

  15. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:50 British Summer Time 12 October 2024

    Glenavon 0-1 Ballymena United

    Ballymena make a triple change in stoppage time.

  16. INJURY TIMEpublished at 16:50 British Summer Time 12 October 2024

  20. YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:47 British Summer Time 12 October 2024

    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.
