    Chris Shields' afternoon comes to an end as he hobbles off with what looks like a knee injury.

    Charlie Allen replaces him.

    Larne 1-0 Carrick Rangers

    Just after me saying about changes, Larne turn to their bench.

    Conor McKendry and Mark Randall make way for Tiarnan O'Connor and Jordan McEneff.

    Maybe Gary Haveron is reading the live text?!

    Chris Shields goes down and looks in real discomfort as he receives medical treatment.

  4. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:28 BST 20 September

    Crusaders claim for a penalty for handball inside the Ballymena United penalty area but referee Ben McMaster waves play on, much to home supporters' annoyance.

    It's the first real bit of quality Linfield have had in the second half. It is a good finish from Kyle McClean.

  7. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 16:27 BST 20 September

    Dungannon Swifts 2-1 Cliftonville

    Conor Barr appears to handle the ball under pressure from Sean McAlister, sparking appeals from the visitors, but Declan Hassin waves away the protests.

  8. TRIPLE SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:27 BST 20 September

    Linfield 2-0 Glenavon

    David Healy makes a triple change moments after his side go 2-0 up with Chris McKee, Sam Taylor and Isaac Baird being replaced by Kieran Offord, Kirk Millar and Josh Archer.

  9. Postpublished at 16:27 BST 20 September

    Larne 1-0 Carrick Rangers

    Dan Bent's strike from range is a poor one and is comfortably collected by Nathan Gartside.

    I predict we will see some substitutions soon as both teams try to liven this second half up.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:27 BST 20 September

    Crusaders 0-1 Ballymena United

    A change for Ballymena United as Kian Corbally replaces James Hood.

    Crusaders 0-1 Ballymena United

    What a chance for Crusaders to level!

    Elliot Dunlop makes ground down the left before getting to the byline and pulling the ball back across the face of goal.

    Ballymena struggle to clear and the ball falls into the path of Fraser Bryden.

    With the goal at his mercy the striker blazes his effort high over the crossbar.

    A real let-off for the visitors.

  12. Postpublished at 16:25 BST 20 September

    Dungannon Swifts 2-1 Cliftonville

    Sean Robertson hangs a cross up to the back post for Eric McWoods, but Caolan Marron tracks it brilliantly and heads behind.

    The resulting corner is swung in with intent, but the Dungannon defence deals with it comfortably.

  13. goal

    GOAL - Linfield 2-0 Glenavonpublished at 16:24 BST 20 September

    Kyle McClean (65 mins)

    Linfield finally double their lead and it's Kyle McClean who nets his second of the afternoon!

    Matthew Fitzpatrick does well and tees McClean up, who fires low and hard to the left and into the back of the net.

    Cool finish from McClean for his second.

    It's been a poor enough second half both teams have been scrappy. Linfield haven't got out of second gear.

    Dungannon Swifts 2-1 Cliftonville

    Joe Gormley makes way for Eric McWoods, with the north Belfast outfit looking to inject extra pace up front as they chase a route back into the game.

  16. Postpublished at 16:22 BST 20 September

    Dungannon Swifts 2-1 Cliftonville

    Bobby-Jack McAleese drifts a clever ball to the back post, where Kealan Dillon is completely unmarked.

    The midfielder tries to bend it into the far top corner, but his effort whistles narrowly wide.

  17. TRIPLE SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:22 BST 20 September

    Linfield 1-0 Glenavon

    Paddy McLaughlin makes three attacking changes as Corey Smith, Stephen Mallon and Michael O'Connor replace David McDaid, Paul McGovern and Joshua Kee.

    Linfield waste another opportunity to double their lead.

    This time Matthew Fitzpatrick's strike is blocked by a Glenavon defender when he had better options with a pass.

  19. Postpublished at 16:20 BST 20 September

    Larne 1-0 Carrick Rangers

    Luke McCullough does well to clear James Simpson's cross into the box.

    Larne have struggled to break into the final third since the restart.
