Drama on the stroke of half-time - Linfield striker Andrew Waterworth is brought down by Stephen O'Donnell as he races through on goal. Referee Arnold Hunter decides it merits only a yellow card but it would not have been a suprise if a red was shown. Linfield are not happy and that's a let-off for the Bannsiders.

Six years. It must feel good.

In a game of few chances you have to capitalise on the ones that come your way. Linfield failed to do just that from a free-kick 20 yards out and in a central position - you couldn't place it in a better spot. Niall Quinn sends his strike on target but it fails to trouble keeper Chris Johns.

Another Heatley volley flashes just over the bar, flicking the ball over the defender's head before smashing one into the stands. Heatley has certainly been the driving force for the home side but as a collective attacking unit, they don't quite seem to be working in harmony.

It's been a hectic first-half and it looks as though Glenavon may try to slow the tempo down a bit when they are in possession. More than anything at this point, Gary Hamilton will be looking to get into the dressing room with this two-goal cushion.

Little to report from a dull opening 30 minutes at the Belfast Loughshore Arena. Paul McElroy tested Rangers keeper Harry Doherty from long-range and Dungannon are seeing more of the ball. A goal would be very handy to spark a bit of life into this one!

We're only 29 minutes into the game but Michael Carvill's afternoon is already over and is replaced by Jordan Forsythe. Carvill had endured a nightmare start to the game thanks to the attacking impetus of Marshall on the right and Stephen Baxter has decided that he has seen enough.

Space is at a premium but Bannsiders forward Jamie McGonigle finds room 20 yards out, only to fire straight at Blues keeper Roy Carroll. Linfield are beginning to edge possession although it's a case of defences on top as we approach the half-hour mark.

Brilliant piece of play by Heatley to create another chance as he drops the shoulder to ghost past his man before driving a low effort at Tuffey. The Glenavon keeper was relatively comfortable in stopping it but Heatley looks really up for this.

What an imaginative effort from Heatley! He's already smashed one cracking effort into the top corner this afternoon and tries his luck to get another, with a volley on the turn from 25 yards. He can't quite keep it down though.

It's fairly cagey stuff at The Oval so far. Cliftonville are pressing high and closing the home side down but Glentoran look polished in possession, with Curtis Allen looking a threat as always.

Ten minutes into the top-of-the-table encounter and it's a tight, tense affair so far. A few meaty challenges have gone in but we await the first clear opening in front of a big and vocal Showgrounds crowd.
