  8. DOUBLE SAVE!published at 16:35 BST 21 October 2023

    Glentoran 3-0 Glenavon

    Superb double save from Aaron McCarey to keep his clean sheet in tact for the meantime.

    Firstly, Jack Malone strikes from distance, with McCarey getting down smartly to his right.

    Aaron Prendergast follows up and once again should really be finding the back of the net, but McCarey somehow saves again to deny the Glenavon substitute.

    Prendergast could have had a brace since coming on!

  9. goal

    GOAL - Dungannon Swifts 1-3 Crusaderspublished at 16:35 BST 21 October 2023

    Ben Kennedy (79 mins)

    Ben Kennedy, with undoubtedly one of the goals of the season, wraps up the points for the visitors.

    Kennedy has been anonymous this game but produces a moment of magic to give his side a two-goal cushion, curling into Conor Mitchell's top right-hand corner from 25 yards.

    The Swifts stopper had no chance with that one.

  10. Postpublished at 16:35 BST 21 October 2023

    Dungannon Swifts 1-2 Crusaders

    Josh Robinson with a massive challenge to keep his side's lead intact.

    Thomas Maguire slots substitute Masty Lusty in through on goal, but with the angle narrowing, Robinson gets across with a sliding challenge to deny the Larne loanee a shot on goal.

  11. Watch: Carson pulls one back for the Bannsiderspublished at 16:34 BST 21 October 2023

    Ballymena United 2-1 Coleraine

    Coleraine, who are in the ascendancy now, make a double change with David McDaid and Jack O'Mahony replacing Kieran Farren and Lee Lynch.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 16:32 BST 21 October 2023

    Glentoran 3-0 Glenavon

    We've had a whole host of substitutions at the Oval, with both Warren Feeney and Stephen McDonnell looking to their bench.

    Josh Kelly and David Fisher are introduced for the Glens, with Cameron Palmer and Jay Donnelly going off.

    Tiarnan Mulvenna and Cohen Henderson come on for the Lurgan Blues in place of Robbie Garrett and Conor McCloskey.

  14. YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:31 BST 21 October 2023

    Loughgall 2-1 Newry City

    Newry keeper Steven Maguire picks up a booking for coming off his goal line to speak to the assistant referee and referee Ben McMaster deems it a yellow card.

  15. SHOULD SCORE!published at 16:30 BST 21 October 2023

    Glentoran 3-0 Glenavon

    Substitute Aaron Prendergast really should have at least hit the target there with just the 'keeper to beat.

    Peter Campbell's cross from the left is precise, with Prendergast shooting first-time.

    His effort sails high and wide of the target and he really should be doing better there.

  16. Watch: Salley slams homepublished at 16:30 BST 21 October 2023

    Loughgall 2-1 Newry City

    It was all in that excellent first touch as Newry City's Adam Salley fires home a quality goal.

  17. YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:28 BST 21 October 2023

    Ballymena United 2-1 Coleraine

    Kym Nelson is booked for a foul on Conor McKendry.

    Ballymena have lost a lot of their composure since that penalty decision.

    Josh Robinson (72 mins)

    The comeback has been complete!

    Moments after a superb Conor Mitchell save, the Crues have taken the lead.

    Josh Robinson gets free of his marker to head home a corner and give his side the lead with 18 minutes remaining.

    Can the Swifts respond?

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:26 BST 21 October 2023

    Dungannon Swifts 1-1 Crusaders

    Crusaders look to freshen things up in midfield by introducing Jude Winchester for Lloyd Anderson.

  20. Postpublished at 16:25 BST 21 October 2023

    Ballymena United 2-1 Coleraine

    More controversy as Ballymena keeper Sean O'Neill collides with Jamie Glackin, leaving the Coleraine player in a heap on the edge of the penalty area.

    Referee Lee Tavinder sees nothing untoward but the decibel level has risen considerably in the last few minutes.
