    Larne 0-0 Coleraine

    David Jeffrey
    Former Larne, Linfield & Ballymena manager on BBC Sport NI

    Great piece of play by Coleraine, Jamie will think how on earth he didn't score that, he will be so disappointed as he will have expected himself to bury that. That's a let off for Larne.

  2. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 17:33 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March

    Larne 0-0 Coleraine

    The Bannsiders almost take the lead with the first attack!

    Kyle Spence drills a low effort across goal towards Jamie Glackin, but the playmaker can only rattle the crossbar from close range.

    The visitors should be ahead.

  3. KICK-OFFpublished at 17:31 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March

    Portadown 0-0 Dungannon Swifts

    Ben Wylie gets us underway on a dry but chilly early evening in the heart of mid Ulster.

    The teams have met twice before this season - with the home side winning on each occasion.

    Will that trend persist at Shamrock Park tonight...?

  4. KICK-OFFpublished at 17:30 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March

    Larne 0-0 Coleraine

    And with a peep of Jamie Robinson's whistle, the ball is rolling at Inver Park.

    Dean Shiels makes a double change to Coleraine's starting side following their 1-0 triumph at Mourneview Park.

    Declan McManus, whose spectacular strike secured those three points against Glenavon, earns a starting berth alongside returning captain Lyndon Kane.

  7. Team newspublished at 17:08 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March

    Portadown v Dungannon Swifts (17:30)

    Not many would have predicted a scenario where both these teams would be within touching distance of a top six finish just a week out from the split.

    But that's the prospect facing both Portadown and Dungannon Swifts in a hugely important tea-time fixture at Shamrock Park.

    Home boss Niall Currie makes just the one enforced change to the side which defeated Carrick Rangers 1-0 a week ago as the suspended Baris Altintop is replaced in defence by Dougie Wilson.

    Opposite number Rodney McAree, meanwhile, makes four changes to the team which defeated Cliftonville in midweek.

    Declan Dunne is back from suspension to replace Alex Henderson in goal while there are also returns for skipper Dean Curry, Kealan Dillon and striker Andrew Mitchell at the expense of Tomas Galvin, Thomas Maguire and Danny Wallace, who isn't included in the matchday squad.

    Portadown: McCarey, Wilson, Chapman, McCullough, Wylie, Ukek, Teelan, Obhakhan, McCartan, Thompson (c), Isamala.

    Subs: Wright, Rodman, McCall, McElroy, Trainor, Minzamba, McKay.

    Dungannon Swifts: Dunne, Scott, Curry (c), Marron, Knowles, McGovern, Dillon, Alves, Glenny, Mitchell, Bigirimana.

    Subs: Henderson, King, Boyd, Galvin, Maguire, Hutchinson, Bermingham.

    Linfield 2-0 Glenavon

    A Joel Cooper second half doubles secures all three points for Linfield.

    Glenavon were dangerous in spells and had their own moments of success throughout.

    A 57th league title is just around the corner for the Blues who could officially wrap the league up next Monday night on their travels to Stangmore Park.

  11. 'Disappointing performance for Glens'published at 16:54 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March

    FT: Carrick Rangers 0-0 Glentoran

    Paul Leeman
    Former Glentoran captain on BBC Sportsound

    For Glentoran, it is a disappointing result and performance, but it is a good point for Carrick, they gave their all and had a purple patch at the end of the game where they could have stolen it.

  12. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:54 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March

    Crusaders 1-1 Loughgall

    The points are shared at Seaview as Benji Magee's late strike cancels out Jordan Stewart's goal.

  13. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:52 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March

    Carrick Rangers 0-0 Glentoran

    It ends scoreless at Taylors Avenue.

    A scrappy game that lacked a real cutting edge for either side. Glentoran will now be looking over their shoulders at Larne's late kick-off tie with Coleraine.

  14. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:52 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March

    Ballymena United 1-0 Cliftonville

    It's all over and Ballymena collect the three points thanks to Kian Corbally's late strike which sees them leap-frog their opponents in the table.

    It means that the Sky Blues may still have a chance to nudge their way into the top six going into the final round of games before the split.

  15. CLOSE!published at 16:52 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March

    Crusaders 1-1 Loughgall

    Jordan Stewart skips past multiple Loughgall shirts and past stopper Nathan Gartside, but can only find the side netting from a tight angle.

    Was that the final chance of the game?
