  3. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:53 British Summer Time 20 April

    Carrick Rangers 2-1 Loughgall

    Steven Gregg brings to an end a fairly bonkers first half that saw a Cameron Stewart double from two Beraat Turker errors give Carrick the lead before a Ryan Waide screamer halved the deficit. Stewart was then removed injured while Steven Gordon was given a fairly dubious red card.

    Hopefully more entertainment coming in the second half!.

  5. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:52 British Summer Time 20 April

    Ballymena United 2-0 Newry City

    Two goals from Noah Stewart gives the home side the lead at the break.

    It's been an entertaining first half with Jim Ervin's men enjoying the majority of the possession and Stewart causing the Newry defence problems.

    The away side have had chances themselves, but Sean O'Neill has dealt with any pressure.

  6. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:52 British Summer Time 20 April

    Cliftonville 1-0 Glentoran

    A goal from Stephen Mallon - who has since gone off injured - is the difference between the sides at the break at Solitude.

  7. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:51 British Summer Time 20 April

    Coleraine 0-2 Crusaders

    Crusaders go in with a comfortable lead at the break after a first half with few clear-cut chances.

    Goals from Daniel Larmour and Jordan Forsythe gives the Crues their advantage.

  8. Postpublished at 15:50 British Summer Time 20 April

    Cliftonville 1-0 Glentoran

    Glentoran almost level in first half stoppage time when Paddy McClean's volley is superbly kept out by the fully outstretched arm of Cliftonville keeper Nathan Gartside.

    At the other end, Ronan Hale drags a shot narrowly wide as the first half ends with a flourish.

  9. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:50 British Summer Time 20 April

    Dungannon Swifts 1-0 Glenavon

    The Swifts go in at the interval in front and are on course for their fourth consecutive win following Tomas Galvin's opener in the 23rd minute.

    Can Rodney McAree's side hang on to keep the race for the European play-offs alive until the final day?

  10. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:49 British Summer Time 20 April

    Portadown 0-0 Dundela

    It's half-time at Shamrock Park and, despite struggling to test the Duns defence, Portadown will be champions as things stand.

    Mark Patton's free-kick was the closest we've come to a goal as Dundela look to keep their title charge going.

    The home support will have one eye on events at the Brandywell too.

  11. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:49 British Summer Time 20 April

    Cliftonville 1-0 Glentoran

    Odhran Casey and Junior have been engaged in a running tussle during the first half at Solitude.

    On this occasion, the Reds defender tugs the Glentoran striker back just outside the penalty area and picks up the first booking of the afternoon.

    Noah Stewart (46 mins)

    The home side double their lead and it's Noah Stewart's second of the afternoon!

    Brendan Barr's pass falls to Stewart whose close range effort takes a deflection off Ryan McGivern and sails past Steven Maguire and into the back of the net.

  13. goal

    GOAL - Institute 1-1 Bangorpublished at 15:48 British Summer Time 20 April

    Ben Cushnie

    It's level at the Brandywell as Ben Cushnie equalises against Stute!

    With the top four all drawing, a point would be enough for Portadown to secure the title.

    Still plenty of drama to come in the second half, I'm sure.

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:47 British Summer Time 20 April

    Carrick Rangers 2-1 Loughgall

    Stuart King reacts to that sending off by replacing Curtis Allen with Nedas Maciulaitis as we enter four minutes of added time.

  15. Postpublished at 15:47 British Summer Time 20 April

  17. Postpublished at 15:46 British Summer Time 20 April

    Dungannon Swifts 1-0 Glenavon

    Glenavon's afternoon has been a story of plenty of neat touches around the opposition area but a lack of quality in their final ball.

    This time, James Doona crosses over Declan Dunne's goal, handing possession back to Dungannon once more.

  18. RED CARDpublished at 15:46 British Summer Time 20 April

    Carrick Rangers 2-1 Loughgall

    The chaos continues at the Loughview Leisure Arena as Steven Gordon is given his marching orders for a sliding tackle on Jordan Gibson in midfield.

    Some perplexed reactions on and off the pitch as Steven Gregg brandishes a red card. It certainly looked harsh from here.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:46 British Summer Time 20 April

    Ballymena United 1-0 Newry City

    Jordan Mooney is injured and unable to play on.

    He is replaced by Adam Carroll.

  20. goal

    GOAL - Coleraine 0-2 Crusaderspublished at 15:46 British Summer Time 20 April

    Jordan Forsythe (45 mins)

    Adam Lecky was brought down by Lydon Kane in that last attack and the referee awards a penalty.

    Jordan Forsythe steps up and coolly slots home to double Crusaders' advantage.
