  2. Johnston down but not outpublished at 16:25 British Summer Time 1 September 2018

    Linfield 0-0 Ards

    Sam Johnston has looked solid today between the posts for Ards and is being kept busy.

    Michael O'Connor is the latest to try and break the deadlock but his outside of the boot effort is smartly parried away by Johnston, diving low to his right.

    It's not all good news for the visiting keeper though, he's received treatment several times today for an ankle injury. He's not going off just yet though.

    Linfield 0-0 Ards

    Michael O'Connor grabbed a late goal last week as Linfield maintained their unbeaten start to the season against Cliftonville.

    David Healy will be hoping his summer signing can do the same again as we venture into the final half hour of the game.

    Glenavon 0-1 Glentoran

    Robbie McDaid gives Glentoran the lead against his former club with a flick header from Ross Redman's fine corner delivery on the hour mark.

    First blood to the visiting Glens! Can the home side respond?

    Alan O'Sullivan gives Warrenpoint the faintest hope of a comeback with a goal on 51 minutes.

  8. Waterworth heads overpublished at 16:15 British Summer Time 1 September 2018

    Linfield 0-0 Ards

    The league leaders continue to knock on the door but aren't getting in at the moment. Niall Quinn drives down the left and clips a cross back, Waterowrth stretches his neck muscles but can't keep the header down.

  9. Reds reelingpublished at 16:15 British Summer Time 1 September 2018

    Newry City 1-0 Cliftonville

    Newry City are really going for the jugular here, with Reds keeper Richard Brush doing well to beat out a fierce shot from Stephen Hughes.

    Moments later, Conall Delaney is played clean through on goal but opts to square the ball and the chance is gone.

  10. Swifts hit the side-nettingpublished at 16:13 British Summer Time 1 September 2018

    Institute 0-0 Dungannon Swifts

    Half-time sub Johnny Lafferty delivers a clever pass wide to Rhyss Campbell, who finds the side-netting with a low left foot drive.

  12. Handbagspublished at 16:10 British Summer Time 1 September 2018

    Linfield 0-0 Ards

    Interesting one here. Michael O'Connor and Johnny Taylor clash off the ball, the Ards man then goes down suggesting O'Connor had lashed out at him. Players from both sides pile in and after discussion with the linesman, the ref brings the two players together and gives them a stern talking to, but nothing more.

    Still without a goal at Windsor.

  13. RED CARDpublished at 16:08 British Summer Time 1 September 2018

    Newry City 1-0 Cliftonville

    Cliftonville, still stunned after conceding that goal, are now down to 10 men after Jamie Harney is sent off for bringing down Stefan Lavery on the edge of the penalty area.

    The resultant Newry free kick comes to nothing and Cliftonville now need to regroup quickly.

    Delight for the home side as defender John Boyle heads home from a free kick, nodding the ball between the legs of Reds keeper Richard Brush.

  15. Second-half goal glut?published at 16:04 British Summer Time 1 September 2018

    Here we go for the second half...we're expecting an avalanche of goals to tell you about in the next 45.

    We're nothing if not optimists here in BBC live text land!

  18. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:53 British Summer Time 1 September 2018

    Warrenpoint Town 0-4 Ballymena Utd

    This game is as good as over after a powerful first half display from the Sky Blues.

    It's a long, long way back for Warrenpoint, who don't look like opening their points tally today.

    A distinct lack of goals to savour in the first half...unless you're a Ballymena fan of course!
