Larne 5-0 Cliftonville
A triple change from Larne just short of the hour mark.
Off go Sean Graham, Mark Randall and Lee Bonis, who are replaced by Micheal Glynn, Dylan Sloan and Paul O'Neill.
Manager Tiernan Lynch is making full use of the players at his disposal with Bonis still walking the tightrope of being one yellow card away from a two-match suspension.
Andy Ryan (54 mins)
It's a hat-trick for Andy Ryan!
The striker plays a lovely give-and-go with strike partner Lee Bonis - with a sumptuous backheel into his path - before firing past Odumosu.
Larne 4-0 Cliftonville
Almost a fifth for Larne as Mark Randall's shot appears to go through the hands of David Odumosu but the keeper gets enough of a touch to deflect it over the bar.

It's a second goal for forward Andy Ryan as he heads in Larne's fourth just before the break.

The second half gets underway after a torrential downpour during the interval.
Larne will be hoping that the goals continue to rain in as they aim to improve upon their goal difference, which is already vastly superior to title rivals Linfield.
Ben Wilson has come on at the start of the second half in place of Stephen McGuinness.

Larne 4-0 Cliftonville
Pretty much everything has gone according to plan for Larne, who are heading back to the top of the table.
Cliftonville assistant boss Gerard Lyttle, deputising for manager Jim Magilton, who is serving a touchline ban, has a big half-time team talk ahead of him to salvage some pride for his shell-shocked side.
Andy Ryan (45+2 mins)
It's a fourth goal for Larne in first half stoppage time as Mark Randall's free kick from the left touchline is met with a glancing header by Andy Ryan.
Larne 3-0 Cliftonville
The fourth official indicates a minimum of two minutes of additional time.
The interval can't come soon enough for Cliftonville to regroup.
Andy Ryan (41 mins)
Larne profit from more hesitant defending to score a third.
Odhran Casey initially makes a good challenge inside the penalty area but then dallies on the ball, losing possession to Mark Randall who slips the ball to Andy Ryan to fire into the corner of the net.
Larne are looking very comfortable now against their 10-man opponents.
Larne 2-0 Cliftonville
Ro-Shaun Williams has been unable to shake off that earlier knock and he is replaced by Jaziel Orozco, who slots into an unfamiliar role in the back three.
With skipper Cian Bolger already injured, it's another defensive headache that manager Tiernan Lynch could have done without.
Larne 2-0 Cliftonville
Mark Randall drops a lovely angled cross into the Cliftonville penalty area which is met by the in-rushing Joe Thomson but the midfielder's header is off-target.

It goes from bad to worse for Cliftonville as Ronan Hale is sent off on 29 minutes.
The striker, already on a caution for that early challenge on Larne keeper Rohan Ferguson, disputes a decision by referee Ian McNabb, who promptly shows him a second yellow card for dissent.
Larne 2-0 Cliftonville
Larne striker rifles just inside the post to give the Inver Park hosts an early lead.
Watch: Lee Bonis scores for Larne to make it 1-0
Larne 2-0 Cliftonville
There's a bit of concern here for Ro-Shaun Williams who over-stretches as he makes a clearance.
The big defender looks as though he will be fit to carry on after treatment but another defensive injury is the last thing manager Tiernan Lynch would want.
Aaron Donnelly (19 mins)
The home side are two goals to the good!
Sean Graham's corner is completely missed by goalkeeper David Odumosu but the danger looks to be cleared as the ball is headed out towards the edge of the penalty area.
That is until the in-rushing Aaron Donnelly latches onto it and fires a thunderbolt into the net, via a slight deflection off Odhran Casey.
