Dungannon Swifts 1-0 Loughgall
Dungannon really should have doubled their lead there. Andrew Mitchell whipped in a tantalising ball to the area, and both John McGovern and Steven Scott had a swing at it but neither could get the touch needed to divert the ball into the net.

He {Jenkins] went low that time, one-on-one and Walsh blocks with his feet. It's a glorious, glorious chance and I'm wandering how long it will be before David Healy makes a change as the second half has started as the first ended, with total Glentoran dominance.
Crusaders 2-0 Cliftonville
Jim Magilton makes a pair of changes as he tries to inject some life into his shell-shocked team.
Ronan Doherty and Ryan Corrigan replace Harry Wilson and Taylor Steven.

Loughgall's Robbie Norton tries his luck from outside the box but it’s a wayward effort that goes wide.
Crusaders 2-0 Cliftonville
Rory Hale almost pulls one back immediately but he swipes his half-volley over the bar. What a start to the second half!
Glentoran 0-0 Linfield
Almost a carbon copy of the chance at the end of the first half, as David Walsh once again denies Jordan Jenkins with an outstretched leg.
Moments later Scot Whiteside is the third player to go into referee Shane Andrews' book as he is cautioned for his challenge on Dylan Connolly.
Dungannon Swifts 1-0 Loughgall

Cliftonville haven't got out of their own half and what a whirlwind start for Crusaders. Jordan Stewart whipped in a delightful ball and Kieran Offord couldn't miss.
Dungannon Swifts 1-0 Loughgall
A second substitution for Loughgall, with Caolan McAleer coming on for Pablo Andrade.
Kieran Offord - 50mins
Offord again! The Scottish striker initially connects with a diving header from Ross Clarke's cross that is well saved by Lewis Ridd. However, there is nothing the Cliftonville keeper can do as the ball comes back in from Jordan Stewart and Offord nods home at the back post.
What a start to the second half for the Crues!

It is exactly what the game needed, Offord was the only one attacking the ball, everyone was looking where it would bounce, and he attacked it. Crusaders have made a great start to this second half.
Coleraine 0-2 Ballymena United
Connor Murray gets us underway for the second half, Coleraine trailing their derby rivals 2-0.
Kieran Offord - 47mins
What a start for the Crues! Jordan Stewart comes inches away from a stunning goal as he smashes one off the crossbar from 30 yards and, as it comes down, Kieran Offord slides it into the empty net with Lewis Ridd out of the picture having dived for the original shot.
That's the shot in the arm this game needed!
