A couple of changes upfront for Dungannon with Leo Alves and John McGovern introduced. Tomas Galvin and James Knowles make way.

The away side make a change as well with Jonathan Scannell on for Eoin Rooney.

Charlie Allen almost makes it three for the Blues but his curling effort flies just wide of the target.

Some great work initially from substitute Kalum Thompson who flies down the left wing before creating the chance for Allen.

Playing with the lead in the first half suited Newry's style of play as they were able to catch Carrick out on the break.

However, with Carrick now ahead, they have finally brought a level of control and measure to the game against their Championship opponents.

Bangor pushing for a second and they go close her eon the hour mark.

Matthew Ferguson with a low cross from the right that found Max Davidson at the back post but he couldnt keep his shot down.

Moments later a header inside the Newington box brings a superb save from Dean Smyth in goal.

Luke McCullough continues the regular goalscoring at Taylors Avenue as he heads Carrick into a 4-3 lead early in the second half.

Triple change for Linfield as Kirk Millar, Robbie McDaid and Stephen Fallon are replaced by Cameron Ballantyne, Rhys Annett and Kalum Thompson.

Wellington Rec also make three changes.

Ballymena hoist a high ball forward which Stephen O'Donnell nods down but goalkeeper Marc Matthews wins a 50/50 tussle with Ballymena striker Ethan Devine to emerge with the ball.

Unsurprisingly, Ballymena have had a lot of the ball since the break but Ards continue to hold firm.

Jack Chambers' free-kick takes an awkward deflection and looks like it's going to creep into the bottom corner, but it sails a whisker wide.

Rathfriland have upped the tempo since the restart. Can they find a goal?

Niall Currie has seen enough and rings a triple change ten minutes into the second half.

Ahu Obhakan, Josh Ukek and Ben Wylie are off with Ryan Mayse, Eamon Fyfe and debutant Tabu Minzamba are on.

Meanwhile, Aaron McCarey has pulled off a stunning save diving backwards to deny Lee Upton.

They're getting closer.

A third chance for Conor McKendry as his shot takes a deflection before looping into the hands of goalkeeper Marty Gallagher.

Danny Wallace is cautioned for a foul on Ruari Fitzpatrick.

Conor McKendry with his second effort of this second half, again wide of the Limavady United goal.

Already, though, Larne have shown more attacking intent in the opening five minutes of the second half than they did in the entire first period.

Carrick Rangers come close to getting a fifth goal, as another ball dangerously goes into the Newry box, but Daniel Gibson and Paul Heatley get in each other's way with both men queueing up to score.

Newry's defence looks all over the place and Carrick look likely to find a few more goals before this game is done.

Some intricate build-up play from Ballymena ends with Josh Carson trying to curl a shot into the far corner but the shot lacks the power to trouble keeper Marc Matthews.

Both sides go close to taking the lead.

First, Newington go clear through and Fiontan O'Boyle gets an effort awaybut it is well saved by the legs of Evan Ovendale.

Almost immediately Reece Neale crosses low from the left for Bangor but captain Lewis Harrison can't keep his effort down and it goes over the bar.

Eoin Rooney heads Jack Chambers' corner well off target.

It's been a slow start to the second half.

The hosts are forced into the first change of the day as goal scorer Jack Evans limps off to be replaced by Stephen Murray.
