    I'm surprised so far we haven't seen Ryan Mayse or Cathair Friel on for Portadown, I don't think it'll be long.

  3. CLOSE!published at 16:22 British Summer Time 17 August

    Glenavon 0-1 Cliftonville

    Peter Campbell delivers a high, arcing cross into the six-yard box, targeting the lurking Michael O'Connor.

    The Glenavon frontman strains every sinew, desperately trying to connect with a header, but the ball cruelly evades O'Connor's reach by mere inches.

    It's the home side's best chance of the game.

    Declan Devine will be wary of his side ruing some of these missed opportunities.

    Portadown 0-1 Glentoran

    Dylan Connolly showing blistering pace down the right for Glentoran. He surges into the box and drives across Aaron McCarey, but his effort is tame and the big goalkeeper falls to his side to make the save.

    Glenavon 0-1 Cliftonville

    Ronan Doherty delivers a pinpoint cross to the back post, finding Joe Gormley in space.

    The striker meets it with a first-time volley, aiming across goal and into the far corner.

    Frustratingly, the ball falls on the wrong side of the post, much to the relief of the Lurgan Blues.

    Linfield 3-1 Dungannon Swifts

    The visitors are certainly posing more of a threat this half, but Linfield seem to have settled after a frantic opening ten minutes of the second half.

    Kirk Millar whips in an out swinging cross from the right where Sam Roscoe meets the delivery on the head, but can't direct his effort on target from a tricky angle.

    Linfield back on top now after 15 minutes of Dungannon dominance at the beginning of the second period.

    One thing about the Glens' performance is that good old fashion hard work, they are all working exceptionally hard today.

    Maybe when you look at their result first time up the supporters might be disappointed, but what you want to see is the team actually putting the effort in and they are putting in a real shift today.

    Glenavon 0-1 Cliftonville

    Axel Piesold's introduction prompts a reshuffle in the Reds midfield.

    Originally deployed in the middle of the park, Conor Pepper moves into right wing-back, with Piesold replacing Pepper alongside Shea Gordon and Ronan Doherty.

    One of the problems Portadown are having is holding the ball up front. They are coughing up possession far too easily.

    Portadown 0-1 Glentoran

    The Glens appear to be more intent on bringing the game to the hosts in this half, with a number of threatening attacks out wide. Can they get a second?

    I think Stuart King will be stripping the paint off the wall at the minute, he will not be a bit pleased.

    Carrick pride themselves in set-pieces in both boxes and they have a big physical team and big physical presence and he will be disappointed that they haven't dealt with two set-plays.
