The Swifts have grown in confidence following Joe Moore's opener.

This time, Leo Alves attempts a cross to Andy Mitchell but Barney McKeown anticipates the danger and heads clear for the hosts.

Joe Moore's effort deceives everyone in the Newry penalty area, including keeper Conor Mitchell.

Fraser Taylor's free-kick from 25-yards is deflected away by the alert Kyle Cherry.

Joe Moore comes close to doubling his tally for the afternoon, but Barney McKeown heads away the winger's goal-bound strike.

Neither side has adjusted to the conditions - it's been very poor fare.

There are shouts from the Dungannon Swifts bench as Andy Mitchell is bundled to the ground in the area.

Referee Ross Dunlop waves play on, a decision that displeases Mitchell, who argues his case with the referee's assistant.

Stephen Teggart comes close to an immediate equaliser but his effort goes just wide.

The wind and rain are playing havoc with any ball that goes airborne on a very changeable Spring afternoon here.

Jonathan McMurray is booked for a late challenge on Joe Crowe.

'I have to agree with the Glentoran manager - that was a penalty all day long.'

An appeal for a Glentoran penalty is waved away by referee Steven Gregg.

A long ball out of defence puts David Fisher in the clear, and the Glens striker goes to ground following a challenge from Rory Brown.

Gregg instantly awards a corner much to the dismay of Glentoran manager Declan Devine.

Conor Mitchell breathes a sigh of relief as James Knowles' deflected free kick threatens to drop over the goalkeeper's head.

However, it narrowly clears the crossbar, handing Dungannon a corner.

A driving run from Georgie Poynton nearly pays off, but there needs to be someone in the penalty area to capitalize on the midfielder's expert delivery.

Declan Dunne eventually claims the ball, much to the frustration of the Newry bench.

David Cushley is the first Carrick player to be cautioned by Lee Tavinder.
