Header on target for Carrick.

The ball is delivered to the back post from the left side and Jack Scott meets it well, but it is straight into the arms of Aaron McCarey.

Ballymena have been totally out-thought and outplayed un this half.

That was a brilliant strike by Shevlin and is no more than Coleraine deserve going into half-time.

Kealan Dillon threads a clever ball through to Danny Wallace, who cuts inside and curls one goalward, but it’s too close to the centre of the goal.

Andy Mills sees it all the way and gathers comfortably.

Michael O'Connor is the first man in the book this afternoon following a collision with Harry Lynch which results in the defender needing treatment.

Things have settled down here at Taylors Avenue after a frenetic 10 minutes or so.

Carrick largely on top in terms of possession.

Marcus Kane goes into the book after a late challenge on Steven Scott, who had just poked the ball past him.

No complaints from the Glentoran captain.

Watch Marcus Kane head Glentoran into the lead against Dungannon at Stangmore Park and celebrate in front of the large travelling support.

Adam Glenny charges forward on the overlap after a neat pass from Sean McAllister, drilling a low cross toward Junior Uzokwe at the near post, but Marcus Kane reads it perfectly and slides in to make a vital clearance for the Glens.

Danny Amos tries his luck with a touch and volley after Dungannon fail to clear their lines, but his effort lacks direction and drifts harmlessly wide of Declan Dunne's goal.

Declan Devine’s side get sloppy in possession deep inside their own half, and Leo Alves pounces on the loose ball.

The midfielder wastes no time pulling the trigger, but his rising effort whistles just over the bar.

Another Coleraine attack sees Will Patching's shot from the edge of the penalty area take a deflection which takes a lot of sting out of the effort as it trundles through to Sean O'Neill.

The visitors are knocking on the door for a second goal here.

The longer this game goes on without Coleraine getting that second goal the happier Jim Ervin will be. Coleraine have dominated this game so far and Ballymena are doing well to stay in the match.

Jay Boyd goes close with an effort from a narrow angle, the ball clips off the inside of the post and Glenavon clear.

My goodness, Portadown should now be in front.

First, Ryan Mayse strikes a low drive from 12 yards that forces Nathan Gartside into a tremendous save.

Then, seconds later, Jimmy Callacher swings and misses close to his own goal as the ball trickles past Gartside and along the goal line before being cleared.

Moments later, Rayhaan Tulloch is played clean through for the Ports but his fizzing shot goes just wide of the far post. Hectic stuff here in Carrickfergus.

Sean McAllister breaks clear after Bobby-Jack McAleese blocks Marcus Kane’s attempted clearance, driving a fierce shot toward the near post that Andy Mills does brilliantly to turn behind.

It’s a fine save from Mills and is warmly applauded around Stangmore Park.

A lightning-quick Coleraine attack sees the ball drop to Joel Cooper on the edge of the Ballymena penalty area.

He sizes up the opportunity but drags his effort narrowly wide of the target.
