Glenavon 4-0 Ballymena Utd
Rhys Marshall should have added to Glenavon's tally but from six yards he manages to head wide from an inswinging free-kick. Andrew Mitchell then drags a shot just wide. It looks like being a long second half for the visitors.

Cliftonville 1-2 Coleraine
Gormley spurs a huge chance to peg it back instantly! Rory Donnelly finds him with a searching pass but the striker can only fire his left-footed effort straight at Johns.

Cliftonville 1-1 Coleraine
It's level at Solitude in what has been a thoroughly enjoyable contest so far.
GOALpublished at 15:45 British Summer Time 21 October 2017
Glenavon 4-0 Ballymena Utd
A superb Andrew Hall free-kick extends Glenavon's lead over 10-man United. It was a long-range effort which flew hard and fast past a helpless Conor Brennan. Brilliant from the Lurgan Blues and a nightmare first half for David Jeffrey's team.

Cliftonville 1-1 Coleraine
Johns denies Gormley with a fine stop! It was a comfortable height for the keeper but he got across well to keep the score level as we edge closer to half-time.
Solid Coleraine defendingpublished at 15:41 British Summer Time 21 October 2017
Cliftonville 1-1 Coleraine
O'Donnell has been outstanding for Coleraine so far and is on hand once again to break down a Cliftonville attack on the edge of the area. The hosts are enjoying the majority of possession and look good going forward, but are just lacking that killer ball in the final third at the moment.
RED CARDpublished at 15:40 British Summer Time 21 October 2017
Glenavon 3-0 Ballymena Utd
This is turning into a day to forget for Ballymena as defender Kyle Owens is shown a straight red card by referee Arnold Hunter after a poor 35th-minute challenge on Bobby Burns.
GOALpublished at 15:37 British Summer Time 21 October 2017
Glenavon 3-0 Ballymena Utd
Bobby Burns fires in a third for Glenavon on 32 minutes and it's going a bit pear-shaped for Ballymena. Burns dispossess Michael Gault and sprints clear before slotting across keeper Conor Brennan and into the United net. Andrew Mitchell slids in to get a touch but the ball had already crossed the line so it's Burns on the scoresheet.
Missing Bradley?published at 15:34 British Summer Time 21 October 2017
Cliftonville 1-1 Coleraine
Coleraine have managed to get a few crosses into the Cliftonville area so far but they don't have Eoin Bradley there to meet them. He provides such a focal point to the attack and his absence is certainly noticeable.
GOALpublished at 15:33 British Summer Time 21 October 2017
Ballinamallard Utd 2-0 Carrick Rangers
Jonathan Leddy's low drive from 30 yards finds the bottom corner and the Mallards go two up after 32 minutes. Gavin Dyke's team have just one point from 10 Premiership games so this could be a big day for the Fermanagh men.
Scrappy spellpublished at 15:31 British Summer Time 21 October 2017
Cliftonville 1-1 Coleraine
Neither side can seem to keep possession at the moment as the game falls into a bit of a lull.
GOALpublished at 15:26 British Summer Time 21 October 2017
Glenavon 2-0 Ballymena United
Glenavon double their lead and it's a belter from Andrew Mitchell. The big striker controls and turns 25 yards before rifling into the bottom corner to put the Lurgan Blues in control. A great strike and Ballymena have it all to do although there's still plenty of time for a comeback.

CLOSE!published at 15:24 British Summer Time 21 October 2017
Glenavon 1-0 Ballymena United
Glenavon almost double their lead with a flowing move ended by Josh Daniels slicing into the side-netting from 12 yards. The former Derry City midfielder will be disappointed with his finish and that's a big chance squandered by Gary Hamilton's side.
