  1. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:08 British Summer Time 7 April 2018

    Crusaders 1-0 Glenavon

    Paul Heatley would have scored a second goal at Seaview but for a splendid save by Jonathan Tuffey.

    The Glenavon keeper gets down well to his left to block a well-hit shot at the expense of a corner.

  2. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:07 British Summer Time 7 April 2018

    Ballinamallard Utd 0-0 Warrenpoint Town

    Warrenpoint come close to breaking the deadlock at Ferney Park as Lorcan Forde's effort comes back off the post.

    Coleraine 0-1 Cliftonville

    Darren McCauley's right-foot effort is cleared off the line by Jamie Harney.

    The second half has started at a frantic pace and you can sense a renewed urgency in Coleraine's play. They know what is at stake in this second half.

    Were Glenavon unlucky in the first half at Seaview?

    Glenavon trail 1-0 away to leaders Crusaders - but the visitors believe they should have been awarded a penalty for a Colin Coates challenge on Mark Sykes.

    It's certainly a talking point at Seaview. Was Colin Coates fortunate to not concede a second penalty in five days?

    The Crues skipper was the guilty party when Coleraine took the lead with a spot-kick in Tuesday's top two clash which ended 1-1.

    This time his tackle was deemed OK, and not long afterwards Paul Heatley put Crusaders into the lead.

  5. CLOSE!published at 16:02 British Summer Time 7 April 2018

    Coleraine 0-1 Cliftonville

    We're underway again at Coleraine and Cliftonville almost go 2-0 up!

    Joe Gormley's right-foot drive across the face of goal is turned round the post by Chris Johns.

  6. Key team talk for Kearneypublished at 15:50 British Summer Time 7 April 2018

    Coleraine 0-1 Cliftonville

    Quote Message

    Oran Kearney will have to ask his Coleraine players to stand up and be counted and show why they are in the position they are in. They have 45 minutes to salvage things or the league title race is probably over. Coleraine have been positive but have lacked quality. If they can score one the big crowd here will go wild and really spur them on.

    Coleraine 0-1 Cliftonville

    Jay Donnelly puts Cliftonville ahead in the 36th minute with his 23rd goal of the season.

    Donnelly fires low into the bottom corner from 25 yards as the ball sneaks inside the post.

    Goalkeeper Chris Johns should have done better - the ball went through his hands as he dived low to his right.

    How important could that goal prove in the title race?

    It's very much advantage Crusaders as it stands!

  12. ouch!

    Ards 0-0 Glentoran

    Glentoran's Marcus Kane has been carried off on a stretcher at the Bangor Fuels Arena.

    An innocuous challenge by Kyle Cherry sees Kane land awkwardly on the 4G surface.

    Not a lot else to report so far.

  13. Stalematepublished at 15:31 British Summer Time 7 April 2018

    Coleraine 0-0 Cliftonville

    Plenty of endeavour on show at Ballycastle Road but no breakthrough as yet.

    Joe Gormley has just tested Chris Johns with a stinging right-foot shot as news filters through that Crusaders have gone in front against Glenavon.

    GOALpublished at 15:29 British Summer Time 7 April 2018

    Crusaders 1-0 Glenavon

    Paul Heatley scores for the league leaders after good interplay with Jamie Glackin.

    The pair exchange passes before Heatley fires in the 28th-minute opener.

    The goal, the 101st scored in the league by the Crues this season, was coming. Now, can Glenavon respond, or are Stephen Baxter's men about to take a huge step towards a three Irish Premiership title in four seasons?

  15. CLOSE!published at 15:26 British Summer Time 7 April 2018

    Linfield 0-0 Ballymena Utd

    Conor McCloskey's rangy run on the left and curling shot is met with a spectacular save by Linfield keeper Roy Carroll, who springs to his left to clutch the effort.

  16. Quiet start at Windsorpublished at 15:20 British Summer Time 7 April 2018

    Linfield 0-0 Ballymena Utd

    Andy Waterworth hooks a snap-shot over the bar for Linfield.

    Bar a couple of corners at each end, there's been little by way of chances to report at the national stadium so far.

  17. CLOSE!published at 15:14 British Summer Time 7 April 2018

    Ballinamallard Utd 0-0 Warrenpoint Town

    Chance for the visitors as Lorcan Forde seizes upon a short back-pass but Mallards keeper Richard Brush is able to block the effort with his feet.

  18. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:14 British Summer Time 7 April 2018

    Crusaders 0-0 Glenavon

  20. CLOSE!published at 15:07 British Summer Time 7 April 2018

    Crusaders 0-0 Glenavon

    Sean Ward advances to fire a superb right-foot shot from outside the penalty area - it strikes the Glenavon crossbar with visiting keeper Jonathan Tuffey beaten. Would have been some goal for the Crues defender.
