    Andy Scott - 34mins

    Loughgall's attempted comeback proves short-lived as Ballymena restore their two-goal advantage.

    Joe Moore does brilliantly on the left to manufacture a crossing opportunity and his low centre is met by the in-rushing Andy Scott who slides in to roll the ball over the line, almost from a seated position on the ground.

    It's the winger's first goal since his move from Coleraine.

  4. Carrick Rangers 1-0 Cliftonville

    Paul Heatley, buoyed by Carrick's opener, is starting to look more and more dangerous for the Mid-East Antrim outfit.

    The former Crusaders man slips the ball past Shaun Leppard, rounding the Reds defender in a flash. But Leppard recovers just in time to dispossess the winger, just as Heatley looks set to charge on goal.

  5. Watch: Nixon fires Crues in front

    Crusaders 1-0 Coleraine

    Stewart Nixon smashes into the roof of the Coleraine net to give the Seaview hosts the lead.

    GOAL - Ballymena United 2-1 Loughgall

    Jay Boyd - 32mins

    All of a sudden, Loughgall are back in this game.

    Ballymena produce some slapstick defending with Danny Lafferty's attempted clearance cannoning off team-mate Donal Rocks and the ball falls for Jay Boyd to fire a low shot past Sean O'Neill.

  7. YELLOW CARD

    Crusaders 1-0 Coleraine

    Cameron Stewart is booked after bringing down Harry Franklin as Crusaders attempted to counter.

  8. YELLOW CARD

    Ballymena United 2-0 Loughgall

    Conor McCloskey picks up a yellow card for a foul on Andy Scott.

    After having been well in the game in the opening stages, Loughgall looked ragged after conceding that quickfire double-whammy.

  9. Glenavon 0-0 Portadown

    Approaching the half hour mark where it remains scoreless, but not dull.

    Plenty for both sets of supporters to be pleased with thus far.

  10. Carrick Rangers 1-0 Cliftonville

    Paul Heatley receives the ball on the right flank and cuts inside before unleashing a curling left-footed effort towards the Cliftonville goal.

    The winger's effort disappointingly lacks power and direction as David Odumosu gets down low to gather comfortably.

  11. SUBSTITUTION

    Crusaders 1-0 Coleraine

    Goalscorer Stewart Nixon is injured and unable to continue. Jordan Stewart replaces him.

  12. Obhakhan 'walking a tight rope'

    Glenavon 0-0 Portadown

    Darren Murphy
    Sportsound summariser

    He [Obhakhan] is walking a tight rope, I would be very surprised if he sees out the half, I think he is one more foul away from a second yellow card.

    Kym Nelson - 27mins

    If at first you don't succeed for Kym Nelson as the big defender - who missed a golden chance a few minutes ago - more than makes amends as he arrives to meet Josh Carson's corner with a close-range header.

    Catastrophic couple of minutes for Loughgall.

  14. Glenavon 0-0 Portadown

    Booked just moments ago, Ahu Obhakhan is lucky not to be shown a second yellow card.

    A Jack Malone free-kick is charged down by the wall, illegally, according to referee Steven Gregg.

    The big striker is the man alleged to have handled the ball on the edge of the box but no yellow card is produced.

    Let-off for the visitors.

  15. Carrick 'deservedly' ahead

    Carrick Rangers 1-0 Cliftonville

    David Jeffrey
    Former Larne, Linfield & Ballymena manager on BBC Radio Ulster

    It is an incredible start from Carrick, and they have deservedly got a goal.

    Ben Kennedy (pen) - 25mins

    The visitors are in front from the penalty spot after Luke Cartwright's clumsy challenge on Calvin McCurry.

    Nathan Gartside dives the right way but Ben Kennedy's spot kick has too much power and accuracy for the keeper.

  17. HITS THE WOODWORK

    Crusaders 1-0 Coleraine

    Connor Murray's strike from range skims the top of the crossbar as the away side look for a quick equaliser.

    Danny Gibson - 24 mins

    Seanan Clucas threads a needle-perfect pass to Danny Gibson, who's off like a shot.

    The former Glentoran man outfoxes Michael Newberry inside the Reds' penalty area before finishing from an acute angle to give the home side the lead.

  20. YELLOW CARD

    Glenavon 0-0 Portadown

    We have our first yellow card of this derby as Portadown striker Ahu Obhakhan is booked for a foul on Glenavon defender Barney McKeown.
