    Portadown deserved the win, what is worrying for Cliftonville is that the side that finished the game is like that which might start the Irish Cup final.

    Benji Magee has salvaged a point for Loughgall with a wonderful solo effort in injury time!

    We’re into three minutes of injury time here at Shamrock Park.

    The Reds will need something special if they’re to find a late equaliser. The clock is ticking down fast.

  19. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 16:48 British Summer Time 19 April

    Loughgall 1-2 Carrick Rangers

    Huge penalty appeals as Adam Towe goes down inside the area, but referee Tim Marshall instead awards a free-kick on the edge of the box.

    Loughgall manager Darren Murphy is furious with the decision as he feels his man was brought down inside the area.

    It certainly looks inside the box from our vantage point.

    Three added minutes here at Seaview although most of the away end have disappeared off home already.
