    Limavady United 0-0 Larne

    Opening quarter of an hour gone at the Showgrounds and it's so far so good for the home side.

    They have enjoyed the majority of the possession with visitors Larne yet to make any notable forays forward.

    Still, a long way to go.

    Robbie Morrow (16 mins)

    Newington have struck back.

    The wide players causing havoc for the visitors, and it is a cross from the left that is met by Morrow who slots home into the bottom right-hand corner of the goal. Game on.

    Linfield 0-0 Wellington Rec

    The first shot on target goes the way of the visitors, as Mark Mundell's right-footed strike is easily gathered by David Walsh.

    Linfield are enjoying the lion share of the ball, but as of yet haven't tested Wellington Rec goalkeeper Jack Ferguson.

    Dungannon Swifts 0-0 Rathfriland Rangers

    Nothing to keep you up to date about in the last five minutes.

    Adam Glenny did have a half chance recently with his strike from 25-yards just over the crossbar.

    Carrick Rangers 0-1 Newry City

    Another chance goes by the wayside for Paul Heatley, as he connects with Reece Webb's cross, but from close range heads wide of the far post.

    Lee Newell (13 mins)

    The visitors are in front with a goal gifted to them by the home side.

    Ballymena looked to have initially cleared an Ards attack but the ball rebounded off a Ballymena defender to Lee Newell in front of goal and the former Newry striker was able to beat Sean O'Neill with ease.

    Ryan Corrigan (13 mins)

    The holders go ahead as young Ryan Corrigan follows up to tuck home after goalkeeper McKenzie Pauley had done well to palm away Joe Gormley's header.

    Corrigan celebrates by paying tribute to the late Michael Newberry.

    Ryan Swan (13 mins)

    Fresh off his double on Monday against Bangor, Ryan Swan connects with Scott McCullough's delivery to steer home from six yards. A good move from the hosts but questions must be asked of the Ports' defence and Aaron McCarey's positioning.

  12. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:12 Greenwich Mean Time 4 January

    Linfield 0-0 Wellington Rec

    Referee Louise Thompson reaches for a yellow card as Wellington Rec skipper Gary Workman is cautioned for a late challenge on Kirk Millar.

    Michael Morgan (10 mins)

    Table-toppers Bangor make the breakthrough.

    New signing Michael Morgan wins possession 35-yards out and sprints into the Newington box before calmly sliding the ball beyond Dean Smyth in goal and into the bottom left-hand corner.

    Bangor 0-0 Newington

    After a scrappy start both sides get their first opportunities within moments of each other.

    First, Bangor attack down the left with Kielan Reid. He puts a good cross into the middle but the ball is just beyond Ben Cushnie.

    Newington almost strike at the opposite end but a ball over the top is intercepted just in time by keeper Evan Ovendale

    Ballymena United 0-0 Ards

    An anxious moment for the home side as Eamon Scannell's corner is directed back across the face of goal before Ballymena are eventually able to hack the ball clear.

    On a rutted, bobbly playing surface, players are having to be extra careful with their touches and footing today.

    Cliftonville 0-0 Banbridge Rangers

    A glaring miss from Rory Hale, who curls his shot over the crossbar after being teed up by Taylor Steven.

    Limavady United 0-0 Larne

    Matthew Walker heads over at the back post from the corner.

    Nonetheless, Roesiders' boss Paul Owens will be happy with the Championship side's start against their illustrious Premiership opponents.

    Ballymena United 0-0 Ards

    A Josh Carson corner for Ballymena is headed goalwards by Daithi McCallion and his central defensive partner Stephen O'Donnell touches it towards goal but Ards keeper Marc Matthews dives on the ball to avert any danger.

    Ballymena United 0-0 Ards

    Ballymena almost go in front courtesy of a bizarre own goal as Andy Scott's shot deflects off Ryan Arthur and much to the Ards defender's relief, whistles inches past his own post.
