    Bangor 0-0 Larne

    A sharp move from the hosts as Tiarnan Mulvenna finds Ben Arthurs, who slips a clever ball in behind for Ben Cushnie.

    The pass just runs away from him though, denying Cushnie the chance to shape up for a finish.

  2. Postpublished at 15:18 BST 6 September

    Linfield 0-0 Portadown

    Linfield's Sean Brown the next to try his luck from distance but his effort from 20 yards sails wide of Aaron McCarey's left-hand post.

    A largely quiet opening here at Windsor Park which Portadown manager Niall Currie will be doubt delighted about.

    Dream start for Glentoran. Jim Ervin is going apoplectic on the sidelines. Ballymena have been the architects of their own downfall.

    Bangor 0-0 Larne

    The corner is easily dealt with and drifts harmlessly away.

    Still waiting for this one to ignite, with both sides probing but yet to find the quality to spark the contest into life.

    Bangor 0-0 Larne

    Tiarnan O’Connor shows quick feet inside the penalty area, twisting past his marker before his effort is blocked behind by Reece Neale.

    The visitors have their first corner of the afternoon, and a chance to test the hosts from a set-piece.

  6. Postpublished at 15:15 BST 6 September

    Crusaders 0-0 Coleraine

    Jonathan Tuffey with his second smart save of the afternoon, this time to deny Will Patching.

    The midfielder, on loan from Carlisle United, is afforded lots of time and space by the Crusaders defence from a Dean Jarvis throw-in but Tuffey saves with his legs.

    GOAL - Glenavon 0-1 Dungannon Swiftspublished at 15:14 BST 6 September

    Thomas Maguire (13 mins)

    The Swifts make the breakthrough!

    After David McDaid shoots just wide at the other end, Dungannon break.

    Tiernan Kelly crosses to the back post after Junior keeps the ball alive, and there is Maguire at the back post to stretch out and finish into the far side of the net.

  8. goal

    GOAL - Ballymena United 0-2 Glentoranpublished at 15:14 BST 6 September

    Jordan Jenkins (15 mins)

    Glentoran double their advantage and Ballymena are the architects of their own downfall as Matthew Clarke gives away possession deep inside his own half.

    Pat Hoban instantly slips a pass into the path of Jordan Jenkins and - unlike the earlier effort when he hit the post - this time he finds the bottom corner.

  9. goal

    GOAL- Carrick Rangers 0-1 Cliftonvillepublished at 15:14 BST 6 September

    Rory Hale (15 mins)

    Cliftonville break the deadlock!

    A ball over the top looks like it is going to play Joe Gormley through on goal with Luke McCullough rushing to clear the ball away from Gormley, but he plays it right into the path of Rory Hale, who bursts forward and makes no mistake from close range.

  10. Postpublished at 15:13 BST 6 September

    Linfield 0-0 Portadown

    Both sides have shown promise when attacking down the flanks, but the final ball has left a lot to be desired.

  11. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:13 BST 6 September

    Bangor 0-0 Larne

    Jack O’Mahoney makes his way off after that early knock, and Mick Morgan is introduced in his place.

  12. Postpublished at 15:13 BST 6 September

    Carrick Rangers 0-0 Cliftonville

    There have been a few niggly tackles so far with Paul Heatley the latest culprit.

    However despite Rory Hale's free-kick being flicked towards goal, Nathan Gartside reads the situation well and thwarts the chance.

  13. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:12 BST 6 September

    Ballymena United 0-1 Glentoran

    Ballymena's Joel Thompson is shown a yellow card for a challenge on Daniel Larmour.

  14. Postpublished at 15:11 BST 6 September

    Bangor 0-0 Larne

    Jack O’Mahoney goes down and quickly signals that he can’t carry on. It’s an early setback for Lee Feeney and the hosts, who now face a reshuffle far sooner than they would have liked.

  15. goal

    GOAL - Ballymena United 0-1 Glentoranpublished at 15:10 BST 6 September

    Pat Hoban (11 mins)

    The visitors are deservedly in front as Pat Hoban rises highest to head home from Daniel Amos' corner.

    You can't say that hasn't been coming.

  16. Postpublished at 15:09 BST 6 September

    Ballymena United 0-0 Glentoran

    Glentoran break quickly with Jordan Jenkins on the left hand side of the penalty area but with better options in the middle, his shot is wide of the mark.

    The visitors have made much the better start in this game.

  17. Postpublished at 15:09 BST 6 September

    Linfield 0-0 Portadown

    Matthew Fitzpatrick with the first shot on goal today.

    Fitzpatrick picked up the ball on half-way and carried unopposed to deep into the Portadown half. His low drive was pushed away for the first corner of the game by Aaron McCarey in the Portadown goal.

    A corner which was easily dealt with by the visitors defence.

  18. Postpublished at 15:09 BST 6 September

    Bangor 0-0 Larne

    Matty Lusty times his run smartly in-behind, latching onto Benji Magee’s pass, but the weight is all wrong.

    It skips through comfortably for Gareth Deane, who gathers without a hint of pressure.

  19. Postpublished at 15:08 BST 6 September

    Crusaders 0-0 Coleraine

    A first sight of the home side in an attacking sense after seven minutes.

    Ross Clarke, making his first start of the season following injury, stands up Coleraine left-back Dean Jarvis before bursting into the box.

    Unfortunately for him his left foot shot is badly off target.

    Still, much better from Crusaders.

  20. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:07 BST 6 September

    Glenavon 0-0 Dungannon Swifts

    An early stoppage in the game as Glenavon's Kyle McClelland goes down inside the box with what looks like a shoulder injury.

    After some lengthy treatment his day is done and he is replaced by Kris Lowe.
