That is all from us on a good day for Linfield, who move 15 points clear at the top of the table as Joel Cooper's hat-trick helped them to a 3-1 win against Portadown.

Cliftonville and Crusaders got back to winning ways with victories over Loughgall and Coleraine respectively.

Carrick Rangers and Ballymena United played out a drab 0-0 draw.

The game at the Oval between Glentoran and Larne was abandoned early in the second half with the score at 0-0 following floodlight failure.

Great day for Linfield, that was a tricky game on a difficult pitch, but Joel Cooper's hat-trick has them ahead, a bit of a storm came from Portadown but Linfield used their experience and saw the game out. To go 15 points clear even with games played and games not played is a huge lead and you would be very surprised if they don't go on and win the Gibson Cup.

All over at the Showgrounds where Crusaders leave with the points after a 2-0 win.

Jacob Blaney headed the visitors in front just after the half hour before second half sub' Harry Jewitt-White secured the win deep into added time.

The home side created a number of chances over the 90 minutes, hitting the woodwork twice, but were unable to find a way through an organised Crusaders backline.

I can't see anyone stopping Linfield on their way to the title. In Cooper they have a match-winner and then they saw out the game. A comfortable win for Linfield.

Linfield head back to south Belfast with all three points thanks to a Joel Cooper first half hat-trick.

Portadown did pull one back on the hour mark and huffed and puffed after that, but the Blues defence stood firm to ensure a 3-1 victory at Shamrock Park.

Referee Declan Hassan brings an absolutely dire second half to a close.

Given both sides' struggles in front of goal in recent weeks, it's perhaps not a surprising outcome.

It's Carrick's fourth scoreless draw in their last five league games, while it's only Ballymena's second draw of the league campaign.

The Reds finally end their five-game winless run in the league through goals from Jonny Addis and Stephen McGuinness.

A controlled if unspectacular performance from the north Belfast side, while Dean Smith's men's struggles continue.

Corner to Coleraine in added time.

Jordan Forsythe comes close to doubling his side's lead in added on time, his well-struck from the edge of the box palmed away by Coleraine 'keeper Max Little.

There is concern here as Carrick's Joe Crowe lies motionless following a midfield collision.

Players from both sides quickly bring the situation to referee Declan Hassan's attention and the player is able to walk off - albeit gingerly - after medical treatment.

He goes off to be replaced by Albert Watson deep in stoppage time.

At least five additional minutes to be played.

Referee Steven Gregg indicates three minutes of added time at Solitude.

The Reds look set to end their five-game winless run in the league, while the Villagers appear destined for another disappointing afternoon in their battle against relegation.

Ronan Doherty delivers a free-kick to the back post, the ball is defended as far as Jamie Glackin on the edge of the box who blazes his volley wide of the target.

Ballymena's Kym Nelson is booked for kicking the ball away.

A rare moment of excitement as Coran Madden embarks on a promising run through midfield, but Ben Murdock shows excellent positioning to intercept and snuff out the danger.

Ballymena's Aaron Jarvis becomes the eighth player booked today for a cynical foul on Joe Crowe.

Carrick boss Stephen Baxter brings on David Cushley for Danny Gibson, with time running out.

Jamie Glackin talks his way into referee Ian McNabb's notebook.
