    GOAL

    Ballinamallard 1-4 Crusaders

    Heatley hat-trick. He's been at his devastating best. Job well and truly done for Crusaders.

    In his final act before going off to a standing ovation, the forward raced through and calmly slotted into the bottom corner to put the finishing touches on an immensely satisfying afternoon.

  3. CLOSE!

    Linfield 1-0 Glentoran

    Kirk Millar goes close for Linfield. Elliott Morris looked to have tipped the ball over but a goal kick is awarded.

  4. goal

    GOAL

    Cliftonville 2-1 Dungannon

    Well Cliftonville aren't going to get their clean sheet as Hegarty heads one back, beating everyone at the back post before finding the corner. Game on!

  5. DISALLOWED GOAL

    Ards 0-3 Coleraine

    Scott Davidson thinks he has pulled a goal back for Ards but the effort is ruled out for offside. Seemed like a late enough flag to compound Ards' frustrations.

  6. Swifts battling on

    Cliftonville 2-0 Dungannon

    Dungannon, to their credit, are continuing to push forward in search of a way back into this game but the home side look solid at the back - something we haven't been able to say a lot in recent weeks.

    Barry Gray has withdrawn Rory Donnelly and seems content with just seeing out the last 15 minutes to keep a clean sheet on top of the three points.

  7. goal

    GOAL

    Ards 0-3 Coleraine

    Did I just say about that man McGonigle making a difference for Coleraine? He wins a penalty after a superb jinking run - no question that he had been felled - and Darren McCauley slots the spot kick to Hogg's left. Definitely game over in Bangor now.

  8. HITS THE WOODWORK

    Warrenpoint Town 1-2 Ballymena Utd

    Conor McCloskey clips the top of the bar with a deflected effort.

  9. Bad Bradley miss

    Ards 0-2 Coleraine

    Eoin Bradley has missed a glorious chance to extend Coleraine's lead as he fires directly at keeper Hogg from two yards out after a superb low cross from Jamie McGonigle. Substitute McGonigle has really livened up the Coleraine attack since his half-time introduction.

  10. Glens pressure

    Linfield 1-0 Glentoran

    Roared on by a vociferous visiting support, Glentoran are enjoying a period of pressure as they search for the goal which would draw them level.

    It's a keenly fought encounter with the outcome still very much in the melting pot.

  11. goal

    GOAL

    Warrenpoint Town 1-2 Ballymena Utd

    Emmet Friars is on target for the second Saturday in a row to give Ballymena the lead on 61 minutes at Milltown.

    The big defender rose highest to head home at the back post from a corner.

    Advantage to the Sky Blues!

  12. CLOSE!

    Warrenpoint Town 1-1 Ballymena Utd

    Kevin Braniff sidefoots off target after getting on the end of a Steven McCullough free-kick.

  13. goal

    GOAL

    Cliftonville 2-0 Dungannon

    The Reds may have just wrapped up the three points as Gormley cuts inside from the left and curls a beautiful effort into the top-corner after receiving the pass from Rory Donnelly.

    The home fans enjoyed that one. Gormley hasn't always shown his trademark lethal touch in the final third since re-joining in the summer but that finish will lift his confidence immeasurably.

  14. goal

    GOAL

    Ballinamallard 1-3 Crusaders

    No, it won't be a nervy finish. Heatley steals in to clinch his second of the day and surely put the result beyond doubt.

  15. Blues still ahead

    Linfield 1-0 Glentoran

    The early stages of the second half have been evenly contested at Windsor Park. Not much by way of goalmouth action.

  16. CLOSE!

    Ards 0-2 Coleraine

    Jamie McGonigle has a chance to make it 3-0 for the Bannsiders but fails to get full purchase on his shot and Ards keeper Hogg is able to gather at the second attempt.

  17. goal

    GOAL

    Ballinamallard 1-2 Crusaders

    The home side are back in it! Ryan Curran showed some neat footwork to control the ball inside the box before firing past Jensen. Nervy finish in store for Crusaders?

  18. goal

    GOAL

    Ards 0-2 Coleraine

    Make that two goals for Coleraine. Darren McAuley volleys in the second a minute after Carson's opener following Eoin Bradley's run and cross. All of a sudden, this is looking very comfortable for Oran Kearney's Bannsiders.

  19. HITS THE WOODWORK

    Cliftonville 1-0 Dungannon

    This game has burst into life! Suddenly, Gormley breaks in behind, rounds the keeper but can only hit the near post from an acute angle. It was unlucky as the striker made an excellent run to beat the offside trap, showed composure to beat Addis but, not unlike Burke a moment ago, couldn't beat the woodwork.

  20. goal

    GOAL

    Ards 0-1 Coleraine

    Coleraine's Josh Carson breaks the deadlock in Bangor after 55 minutes. Ards keeper Hogg was only able to parry a low shot from substitute Jamie McGonigle and Carson had the simple task of hammering home the rebound.
