Dungannon with the second half's first chance, but Dean Curry fails to take advantage of Niall Owens' free-kick.

Owens set piece is crossed into the Crues penalty area.

Curry rises highest to meet the cross, but cannot get a clean connection on the ball to trouble Jonny Tuffey.

We are back underway at Lakeview Park. Newry's Daniel Hughes takes kick off for the second half.

Jay Donnelly should be doing better and Glentoran should really have their fourth of the afternoon.

Great work down the left from Junior, who feeds Bobby Burns, who whips in an inviting cross which Donnelly can't connect with properly, instead shooting down into the ground with the ball bouncing over the crossbar.

Let-off for the Lurgan Blues.

Paddy McClean got his second goal in as many games with a header to make it three goals for Glentoran before the break.

We're back underway at the Oval for the second half.

Can Glenavon find any way of getting themselves back into the game?

Raymond Crangle whistles to indicate the start of the second half.

A big 45 minutes in store for both sides.

Will Stephen Baxter get a reaction to an underwhelming first half from his side, or will the hosts hold on for just their second league win of the season?

Half-time at Lakeview Park and it has been Newry City that will feel annoyed not to be going in with a lead.

The visitors have went close on a number of occasions with Georgie Poynton and Adam Carroll having efforts saved by Berraat Turker. Its scoreless at the break and here's hoping for goals in the second half.

The hosts go in at the interval a goal to the good, and it's the least Rodney McAree's side deserve in a half where they hit the post.

Stephen Baxter has been frustrated with his Crusaders team thus far, and a big team talk is needed to galvanise his side.

The first half ends still scoreless but the major talking point has been that red card for Coleraine striker Matthew Shevlin for a high challenge on Ballymena keeper Sean O'Neill.

However, despite their numerical advantage, the home side have yet to seriously trouble Bannsiders keeper Gareth Deane.

It's fascinatingly set up for the second period, though.

A Junior brace and a goal from Patrick McClean just before the break give Warren Feeney's side a comfortable lead at the break.

Work to do for Stephen McDonnell's side, who have been second best all over the park so far this afternoon.

Thomas Maguire has been a thorn in the side of the Crusaders' defence in this first half, and the winger isn't too far away from doubling his tally for the afternoon.

The former Cliftonville man cuts in from the right and is allowed to drive towards Jonny Tuffey's goal.

Maguire takes aim for Tuffey's far corner, but his left-footed strike falls the wrong side of the post.

Ballymena's Mikey Place takes too long to get a shot away and then fouls Coleraine's Josh Carson, picking up a yellow card for his troubles.

Newry go close yet again!

Georgie Poynton has a powerful strike from the edge of the area turned around the post by Berraat Turker, who has had a very busy first half.

Kealan Dillon is booked following a late challenge on Jordan Forsythe.

The Crusaders faithful are not happy; they believe the former Warrenpoint Town man's challenge warranted a straight red.

Superb stop from Rory Brown to deny Jay Donnelly a sixth league goal of the season.

Donnelly lets leash with a fierce right-footed strike towards the near post, with Brown equal to his powerful effort.

If the Lurgan Blues are the find a way back into this game, they have their goalkeeper to thank for keeping the scoreline at 2-0.

Thomas Maguire showed great composure to latch onto a quick free-kick and slot home the opener for the hosts.
