Adam Salley gets the action back underway in Newry.

Not much to shout about at the Coleraine Showgrounds with both sides failing to create any serious goalscoring opportunities.

Both sides have been dealt blows losing a player each through injury, Adam Tejada for Coleraine while David Fisher was forced off for the Glens.

At the break, it's scoreless in the north-west.

Andrew Hoey's deflected effort doubles the lead for the home team against Glenavon.

Neither side has had many chances to break the deadlock during a quiet first half.

The best opening for the home side came on the 36th minute when Ben Tilney cut inside and let fly from 25-yards, but Sean O'Neill made a diving save to gather the danger.

At the other end, Jonathan McMurray's shot was narrowly over the crossbar.

It's advantage Dungannon Swifts at the interval.

A big second half is coming up for the home side, who have squandered chances to equalise.

Glenavon have dominated possession but find themselves two down as Ryan Waide and Andrew Hoey have the hosts ahead at the break.

They could have been three up with almost the last kick of the half but Nathaniel Ferris' effort rolled just wide.

Gavin Dykes' side see the ball pinballing in the area following a corner, but the Swifts manage to get bodies in the way and clear the ball behind as the County Down side look to pile on the pressure.

Still goalless at the Showgrounds as we enter five additional minutes at the end of the first half.

There will be one minute of additional time at the end of the first half.

After a lengthy stoppage, Glentoran's David Fisher is forced off due to an injury. He's replaced by Jay Donnelly.

Newry City will be wondering how they aren't level!

It's a fantastic move initiated by Alex O'Brien, who picks out Brandon Doyle with a beautiful crossfield pass.

Doyle beats John Scott with a drop of the shoulder before setting up Liam Bagnall, but Declan Dunne reacts brilliantly to deny the hosts an equaliser.

Coleraine have created a few openings, all coming from their right-hand side, with Lyndon Kane and Jamie Glackin seeing plenty of the ball.on.

But there are yet to put the visitors' defence under any serious pressure with their final ball being their Achilles heel.

Andy Mitchell attempts to flick James Knowles' inswinging cross towards goal, but the former Coleraine man's effort lacks the necessary power to trouble Conor Mitchell in the Newry City goal.

We have the first booking for the afternoon, and it goes to Dungannon's Adam Salley for impeding Declan Dunne.

Just over five minutes until the break and the Lurgan Blues are still dominating possession without really troubling the Villagers' goal.

Stephen Teggart flashes one across the face of goal but no one in fluorescent yellow can get a touch on it.

It's almost an equaliser from the most unlikely of sources for Newry as John Scott's header back to Declan Dunne nearly catches out the former Cliftonville stopper.

Dunne manages to get a hand to the ball, diverting it behind for a corner.

Sean O'Neill makes a diving save to stop Ben Tilney's right footed effort from range.

Ten minutes to go until the break - will the deadlock be broken before then?

Jordan Gibson is cautioned for a foul on Matthew Snoddy. He is maybe lucky it isn't more as his foot was high and caught the Glenavon man on his ankle.

James Singleton has another pop from distance, and this one forces Rory Brown into making a fine stop to deny Glentoran the opening goal.

Coleraine fail to deal with Niall McGinn's corner. Scrambling it clear before seeing the next one being overhit and go out harmlessly for a goal-kick.
