  1. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:14 BST 11 October

    Dungannon Swifts 0-0 Glentoran

    Peter Maguire goes into the book after hauling down Jordan Jenkins as the Glens forward burst clear on goal.

    The defender might count himself fortunate - it looked suspiciously like a last-man challenge. Declan Devine and the travelling Glentoran fans are livid, demanding a red but referee Shane McGonigle produces a yellow.

    Glenavon 0-0 Bangor

    Oran O'Kane has Glenavon's first shot of the afternoon from a long way-out seeing Gareth Deane off his line, but the Bangor goalkeeper has no trouble with the effort.

  3. CLOSE!published at 15:12 BST 11 October

    Carrick Rangers 0-0 Portadown

    Close once more for Carrick.

    That man Paul Heatley attacks down the right before cutting it inside to Danny Gibson. His shot is blocked just wide of the left-hand upright.

    The corner comes to nothing.

    Ballymena United 0-1 Coleraine

    Coleraine go close again as they execute a well-worked free kick routine which causes a scramble in the Ballymena area from which Rowan McDonald fires narrowly wide with United keeper Sean O'Neill rooted to the spot.

    The visitors have been absolutely dominant in the opening 10 minutes.

  6. 'Bright start by Coleraine'published at 15:10 BST 11 October

    BBC Radio Ulster summariser

    It's been such a bright start to the game from Coleraine.

    The movement of Patching and Glackin is impressive.

    Ballymena are struggling to get a foothold in this game. They will be disappointed they didn't track Patching's run for the goal.

    Carrick Rangers 0-0 Portadown

    Good to see Paul Heatley back in league action once more after his lay-off following a nasty head collision with the perimeter wall back in September here at Taylors Avenue.

    Glenavon 0-0 Bangor

    Bangor look the more threatening in the early stages. Some intricate play between Oisin Devlin and Ben Arthurs on the right creates a chance, but the final ball finds Jay Boyd, who was in an offside position.

    Dungannon Swifts 0-0 Glentoran

    It’s been all Dungannon in these opening exchanges, the Swifts are first to every ball and dictating the play.

    Cammy Palmer halts Bobby-Jack McAleese with a clumsy foul, but Kealan Dillon’s resulting free-kick is tame, drifting straight into the grateful gloves of Andy Mills.

  10. CLOSE!published at 15:06 BST 11 October

    Dungannon Swifts 0-0 Glentoran

    Kealan Dillon floats a teasing ball into the box for Sean McAllister, who’s suddenly one-on-one with Andy Mills.

    The Glens keeper gets down well to get just enough on it to divert wide for a corner.

  11. CLOSE!published at 15:06 BST 11 October

    Carrick Rangers 0-0 Portadown

    Great chance early on for Carrick.

    Joe Crowe with the long throw-in from the left that is met by the head of Aidan Steele from six yards out, but Steele can't keep the ball down as it blazes over.

    Dungannon Swifts 0-0 Glentoran

    Steven Scott dances past Danny Amos with a neat drop of the shoulder, showing quick feet to carve open a yard of space.

    His powerful near-post drive looks destined for the bottom corner, but Shane McEleney throws himself in the way to make an important block for the Glens.

  13. Postpublished at 15:04 BST 11 October

    Glenavon 0-0 Bangor

    Tiarnan Mulvenna gets the first chance of game with a shot which was easily dealt with by Mark Byrne.

  14. KICK-OFFpublished at 15:03 BST 11 October

    Carrick Rangers 0-0 Portadown

    After a well-observed minute's silence marking the death of manager Stephen Baxter's mother in during the week, Aidan Steele of Carrick Rangers gets the ball rolling here at Taylors Avenue

    The home side will be desperate to end a run of four straight league defeats but is today the day they turn the tide? Let's find out.

  15. KICK-OFFpublished at 15:01 BST 11 October

    Dungannon Swifts 0-0 Glentoran

    We’re under way at Stangmore Park, where two of the division's in-form sides collide.

    GOAL - Ballymena United 0-1 Colerainepublished at 15:01 BST 11 October

    Will Patching (2 mins)

    The visitors are in front inside 80 seconds!

    Rowan McDonald's cross is flicked on by Matthew Shevlin and Will Patching runs in behind to beat Sean O'Neill with a neat cushioned volley.

    Ballymena's defenders looked expectantly towards the referee's assistant but there's no flag and the goal stands.
