It is an end-to-end game at Mourneview Park with both sides trading chances. However, neither side have had a dangerous chance on-target.

Adam Glenny swings in a decent cross, Sean McAllister cushions it into the path of Kealan Dillon, but the midfielder slices his volley well wide.

The hosts need to rediscover their early rhythm - they’d been on top before falling behind and haven’t quite settled since that opener.

Ballymena midfielder James Hood's afternoon comes to a premature end as he is unable to shake off that earlier injury.

He is replaced by Danny Lafferty.

The away support certainly enjoyed that one from their captain, breaking into a chorus of "We all dream of a team of Marcus Kane's".

Danny Gibson goes so close for Rangers.

Aidan Steele with a low delivery from the left that is missed by all in the box before finding Gibson who hooks in a left-footed effort but the ball goes just the wrong side of Aaron McCarey's right stick.

All Carrick here, but they have so far failed to make the pressure pay.

I feel for Dungannon, the football they have played has been outstanding, but credit to Glentoran, they have the power to do that.

An injury to Ballymena's James Hood gives both sides a chance to take on some water and some instructions on the sidelines.

It might also help lower the temperature somewhat.

Bangor take a quick throw-in toward Ben Arthurs, who plays a low cross into the box for Tiarnan Mulvenna. However, pressure from Niall Quinn puts the midfielder off enough and he skies his chance over the crossbar.

Snoddy's booking is quickly followed by another for Lewis MacKinnon in the Ports' defence.

Paul Heatley is hacked down mid-flow and referee Steven Gregg does not hesitate in his decision.

Kealan Dillon surges past Cammy Palmer and lets fly from distance, his effort thudding off Marcus Kane and spinning behind for another Dungannon corner.

It’s been a frantic opening 20 minutes at Stangmore Park, both sides going full tilt with barely a pause for breath.

It's getting a bit heated between the respective coaching teams in the dugouts.

Fourth official Evan Boyce looks as though he could be in for a busy afternoon!

Glenavon have been growing into this game in the last 10 minutes.

Their pressure was rewarded with a great chance when a ball was crossed in toward Francely Lomboto, whose resulting header hits the side-netting outside the post.

A brilliant save from Ballymena keeper Sean O'Neill to keep out Matthew Shevlin's header from an inswinging Joel Cooper cross.

The veteran stopper is then quickly back onto his feet to block Shevlin's follow-up effort.

A second Coleraine goal here would give Ballymena a real mountain to climb.

First booking of the day is handed to Matthew Snoddy of Carrick after a bit of a reckless lunge on Luke Wilson in midfield.

The big men trudge forward from the back for Rodney McAree’s side, hoping to make something of the corner, but it’s all for nothing.

Andy Mills is fouled as he comes through the crowd to claim it, and the keeper earns his side a breather.

Coleraine skipper Kodi Lyons-Foster tangles with Joel Thompson in an off-the-ball skirmish.

Unwisely, though, he chooses to do it right in front of referee Jamie Robinson and picks up the first yellow card of the afternoon as a result.

It’s shaping up to be a fascinating duel between Steven Scott and Jordan Jenkins down that flank.

This time Scott powers forward with purpose, only for Jenkins to match him stride for stride and make a strong block, conceding a corner.

The rotations of the Coleraine players are really good and it is pulling the Ballymena players about.

Patching has the ability to dictate the tempo and pace of the game and that puts Coleraine on the front foot and gives them control of the game.

Danny Amos’s resulting free-kick causes a bit of panic in the Swifts box, eventually dropping to James Singleton, whose effort is blocked before the hosts scramble it clear.

Much better from the visitors, who are finally beginning to find a bit of rhythm.
