Big roar at Seaview!published at 15:17 British Summer Time 29 April 2017
Crusaders 1-0 Glenavon
It's good news from up the road as an almighty roar rings out with news filtering through that Cliftonville have taken the lead against Linfield.
The players will undoubtedly be aware of the latest developments, but there will be a lot of fingers pressed to temples from the Crusaders coaching staff as they need to focus on the task in front of them.
They've started impressively, but Glenavon have tested the Crues back-line with a couple of crosses into the box. It's a blustery afternoon at Seaview - less than ideal conditions for either goalkeeper.
GOALpublished at 15:13 British Summer Time 29 April 2017
Cliftonville 1-0 Linfield
Daniel Hughes heads in for the Reds on 14 minutes. The cross comes in and the striker glances into the bottom corner from 10 yards. As it stands Crusaders will win the title but there's still plenty of time left for the Blues to respond.

Crusaders 1-0 Glenavon
The Glenavon defence is under real pressure now as Declan Caddell makes space for the shot but curls it just wide. Assertive start from Crusaders - they look like they're up for this one!

Crusaders 1-0 Glenavon
Michael Carvill gives Crusaders the lead! Well, that will calm any nerves felt by the home supporters as the midfielder uses his pace to elude the Lurgan Blues defence and slots coolly past James Taylor to give Stephen Baxter's side the breakthrough.

The first big chance of the afternoon drops to Jordan Owens as a corner is floated to the far post to find the big striker completely unmarked. He can only guide his effort over though!

Crusaders 0-0 Glenavon
The first purposeful foray forward for the Lurgan Blues comes down the right flank, as McGrory flashes an excellent cross into the danger zone but there's nobody there to meet it.
At the other end, Heatley threatens for the first time but his effort is blocked and it goes for a corner.
