    GOAL - Ballymena United 1-0 Portadownpublished at 15:25 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February

    James Hood - 26mins

    Ballymena are in front through a thunderbolt from teenage midfielder James Hood.

    A long Caolan Loughran throw-in from the right flank is half headed clear by the Ports but it drops to Hood on the edge of the penalty area and he smashes a rising half-volley past Aaron McCarey.

    It's the youngster's first goal for the club - it's doubtful he'll score many better!

  2. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:25 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February

    Play resumes, but only briefly as Paul Heatley is down once again and can't continue.

    Kyle Cherry replaces him.

    Ballymena United 0-0 Portadown

    James Teelan tries a snap-shot for Portadown but his effort deflects off a Ballymena player which takes a lot of the sting out of the effort and Sean O'Neill has no troubling in saving.

    There's another stoppage in play here almost instantly as Paul Heatley now needs treatment.

    Larne 0-0 Dungannon Swifts

    Sean Graham creates a golden opportunity for Andy Ryan in the penalty area, but the striker drags his effort agonisingly wide of the post.

    Ryan's frustrated gesture tells the story - he feels Graham's pass could have been better placed, but it's a chance he knows he should have buried.

    Larne 0-0 Dungannon Swifts

    Brandon Birmingham and Kealan Dillon exchange a clever one-two in midfield, but Shaun Want's perfectly timed crunching challenge brings a halt to the visitors' attack.

    No nonsense stuff from the Scot.

    Linfield 0-0 Coleraine

    Some concern for the hosts as goalkeeper David Walsh goes down unchallenged inside his own six yard area.

    However, the magic sponge does the trick and the 'keeper is fit to continue.

  10. ouch!

    Glenavon 0-0 Crusaders

    There were a few boos around Mourneview Park as Crusaders continued to play despite an injury to Glenavon’s Sean Carlin.

    When the play comes to a stop, Carlin receives treatment but he has since returned to the pitch.

    Linfield 0-0 Coleraine

    Decent opportunity for the visitors.

    Kyle Spence does well to hold off the challenge of Euan East before delivering a cross into the box.

    Matthew Shevlin gets his head to the ball but is unable to keep it on target.

  12. ouch!

    Larne 0-0 Dungannon Swifts

    The champions' slick passing movement draws applause from the home support before Tomas Cosgrove finds Sean Graham in space.

    The crowd rises in anticipation as Graham takes aim from 12 yards, but Steven Scott produces a heroic block.

    Glenavon 0-0 Crusaders

    Michael O’Connor takes the ball down well in the Crusaders’ box and he tries to work a bit of magic but Daniel Larmour takes no chances and hoofs it behind for a corner.

    The corner is worked well and ends up finding Len O’Sullivan at the back post but the effort it put just wide.

    Ballymena United 0-0 Portadown

    Danny Lafferty takes a quick free-kick for Ballymena which has Success Edogun bearing down on goal, but Aaron McCarey is quickly off his line to knock the ball away.

    The goalkeeper collects a sore-looking kick to the hand for his troubles but he's fine to continue.

    Larne 0-0 Dungannon Swifts

    Adam Glenny's decision to let Olatunde Bayode's cross run proves risky as Jordan McEneff arrives at the far post.

    The midfielder's sweetly struck half-volley is charged down by the recovering Glenny, and the visitors eventually deal with the resulting corner.

  17. CLOSE!published at 15:16 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February

    Carrick Rangers 0-0 Loughgall

    Paul Heatley travels forward before having a go from just outside the box with Nathan Gartside making another good save to deny his effort.

    Stephen Baxter's side are really pushing for an opening goal here.

  18. Postpublished at 15:15 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February

    Ballymena United 0-0 Portadown

    The first clear sight on goal for either side falls to Portadown as Shay McCartan's cross from the left flank deflects into the path of Josh Ukek but the frontman slices his effort horribly wide of goal from a decent position.
