    Carrick Rangers 1-1 Coleraine

    It's all square after 12 minutes at Taylor's Avenue as Mark Edgar equalises for Carrick.

    The left-back stepped up to fire a beautiful free-kick past Chris Johns and into the top corner after Martin Maybin had been brought down on the edge of the area.

    A super goal from Edgar against his former club.

  5. CLOSE!published at 15:13 Greenwich Mean Time 2 December 2017

    Linfield 0-0 Dungannon Swifts

    Linfield front man Andy Waterworth drags a shot just wide after being played through by Jordan Stewart.

  6. Glens go closepublished at 15:11 Greenwich Mean Time 2 December 2017

    Crusaders 0-0 Glentoran

    The Glens fluff a great chance to take the lead at Seaview. Mark McChrystal's back pass falls short and Robbie McDaid is on to it. He gets around Crues keeper Brian Jensen but puts his finish into the side-netting. Granted, the angle was tight, but McDaid is clearly frustrated at not making the most of that opportunity.

    Ballymena Utd 0-0 Ballinmallard Utd

    Johnny McMurray fires a half-volley over the bar and Conor McCloskey is unable to convert a Steven McCullough cross with his head as Ballymena apply early pressure.

    Carrick Rangers v Coleraine

    Things can only get better for Carrick Rangers - or so manager David McAlinden hopes - after an awful month of November.
