A cross from the right finds Loughgall's Ryan Waide but Lee Chapman charges down his effort and clears. It's all-action so far at Lakeview Park.

Rory Donnelly finds himself one-on-one with Declan Dunne, but he fluffs his lines!

Dunne stands tall, and Donnelly's effort nestles straight into the keeper's grateful hands.

A golden opportunity goes begging for the former Glentoran striker – will he live to regret that miss?

Glentoran come agonisingly close to breaking the deadlock.

A misplaced pass out of defence from Coleraine sees Cammy Palmer pick the ball up midway inside the Coleraine half.

He has nothing on his mind but trying his luck, his curling right foot effort from fully 25 yards going just the wrong side of the post, much to the relief of Coleraine 'keeper Rory Brown.

I would say the Blues will count themselves lucky that that wasn't given.

Huge penalty appeals from the Glenavon players and fans as Peter Campbell is brought down in the box, but referee Mark Dillon plays advantage and waves any appeals away.

Did you think it was a penalty?

Loughgall goalkeeper Nathan Gartside gets his fingertips to Josh Ukek's curling effort that looked destined for the corner of the net.

Adam Glenny rises at the far post to meet Kealin Dillon's pinpoint corner.

The Solitude crowd holds its breath as Glenny connects, but his header lacks the necessary venom as David Odumosu gratefully gathers the ball.

Bright start from Linfield and you can see that they are up for it from the first whistle.

That will take the wind out of Glenavon's sails and they need a speedy reply if they are going to try and keep a hold on this game.

What a chance for Coleraine to open the scoring after just five minutes.

Glentoran defender James Singleton doesn't look as he attempts a back pass to his goalkeeper Gyollai.

The alert Matthew Shevlin reads his mind and gets to the ball before the goalkeeper.

He rounds the keeper, but the angle is too tight for the shot, electing to set up Rhyss Campbell instead.

The Glens' scramble defence, however, manages to get back in time to deny the Bannsiders at the expense of a corner which comes to nothing.

A real let-off for the home side.

Thomas Maguire surges down the left flank, his eyes locked on Leo Alves in the box.

Maguire whips in a low cross, but Luke Conlan is equal to it, throwing himself in front of the ball to make a crucial block, turning it behind for a corner.

Crusaders almost double their tally as Jordan Stewart shows good close control on the edge of the penalty area.

He tries to catch keeper Sean O'Neill out but his attempted chip lands on top of the Ballymena net.

When you give it to Cooper and you give him a yard of space, he'll put it away.

He's in a rich vein of form at the minute Joel Cooper.

Dungannon Swifts have come out all guns blazing, pinning Cliftonville back in their own half.

The Reds are struggling to get a foothold as the Swifts dominate possession.

I think the surface here [Mourneview Park] is the best surface in the Irish League. I know if I was still playing this is the type of pitch I would love to play on.

First sight of goal goes to Ballymena as Ben Kennedy releases Johnny McMurray.

Crusaders defender Robbie Weir does well to hold the striker up and he ends up shooting straight at visiting keeper Jonny Tuffey.

Less than two minutes played and Cammy Palmer goes in heavy on Coleraine midfielder Dylan Boyle.

'Let him know you're there' comes to mind.
