    Draw at Coleraine wraps up 55th title for Linfield

    That's it...they've done it!

    Title number 55 is in the bag for Linfield as they add the Gibson Cup to the Irish Cup they won at the weekend.

    David Healy's men were pushed all the way by second-placed Coleraine but a 1-1 draw was enough to wrap up the championship.

    There were celebrations, too, for Glentoran, who secured European football after winning at Larne - indeed, Mick McDermott's men could yet grab second spot on Saturday.

    There was late drama at Solitude where David Cushley's last-gasp goal grabbed a point for Crusaders against Cliftonville.

    The race for the final European play-off place continued in goal-laden fashion with Glenavon firm favourites for the coveted shot at possible European football after a manic 6-3 win at Carrick Rangers.

    Ballymena United, who won 3-0 against Warrenpoint Town, can still overhaul the Lurgan men but a point from their final game will give Gary Hamilton's side a place in the play-offs.

    In the other game, Portadown defeated Dungannon Swifts but the night belongs to Linfield.

    Join us again on Saturday as the regular season campaign comes to aclose and we gear up for the play-offs.

    Bye for now.

    Quote Message

    It's fantastic, an unbelievable feeling. After the euphoria of Friday night when we left everything on the pitch, to reach those heights again we had to dig deep. I wouldn't say we played our best football of the season but we showed a great steeliness and determination to get over the line."

    Quote Message

    It has been an incredible effort by everyone - the players, the staff, everyone at the club. 49 games since October. Right now this feels like the sweetest of all the league titles since I came to manage the club I supported as a boy.

    Larne 0-1 Glentoran

    Conor McMenamin's goal early in the second-half secures European football for Glentoran next season!

    It's a spot in the European play-offs for Larne to cap off a disappointing five days for the Inver Park side.

    What about that for a second half, eh?

    It all adds up to a vital win for Glenavon after a frenetic goalfest at Taylors Avenue.

    Ballymena United 3-0 Warrenpoint Town

    A comfortable win for Ballymena thanks to goals from Shay McCartan, Paul McElroy and Leroy Millar.

    But with Glenavon's extraordinary win at Carrick, it's going to take something fairly miraculous for United on the final day of the season if they are to gatecrash the European play-off party.

    Cliftonville 1-1 Crusaders

    David Cushley's goal is pretty much the last kick of the game as it ends 1-1.

    A dramatic finale, and a hammer blow for Cliftonville, who led from the third minute thanks to Daire O'Connor's strike.

    But that wasn't enough as Cushley popped up with a last-gasp leveller.
