This video can not be played Watch: Tiarnan O'Connor scores for Larne to make it 1-0 Portadown 0-0 Ballymena United Jamie Robinson brings to a close a first half that has been high in graft but low on craft. Hopefully both teams can offer more in the second period. Bangor 1-2 Crusaders Plenty to talk about so far as the half-time whistle blows! Portadown 0-0 Ballymena Utd Josh Ukek thinks he has put Portadown ahead against Ballymena but referee Jamie Robinson rules the effort out for a handball in the build-up. This video can not be played Watch: Josh Ukek's is disallowed by Jamie Robinson Bangor 1-2 Crusaders What a chance for Bangor to level the game just before the break! Ben Cushnie connects with Reece Neale's long throw-in and has a go with his strong strike crashing the crossbar. The ball then drops down, but Brendan Hamilton clears it off the line. Portadown 0-0 Ballymena United After letting an advantage be played, referee Jamie Robinson goes back and books Portadown captain Gary Thompson for a tackle on Donal Rocks. It's fair to say that decision doesn't meet with the approval of the home support. Glentoran 1-0 Glenavon Jordan Stewart's goal is the difference between the sides after an entertaining first half in east Belfast. Coleraine 2-0 Dungannon Swifts The home side lead 2-0 at half-time thanks to goals from Declan Mc Manus and Jamie Glackin. Mc Manus opened the scoring midway through the half with a fine header from a Joel Cooper cross before Glackin doubled the advantage 10 minutes later with an overhead kick after Dungannon failed to clear a corner. The Swifts have been restricted to little in an attacking sense through Tomas Galvin came close with a long range shot. Portadown 0-0 Ballymena United Portadown's Baris Altintop halts David Toure's run near the halfway line and is cautioned in first half stoppage time. Cliftonville 0-1 Larne Half-time at Solitude, where the away side holds a narrow lead. Tiarnan O'Connor's moment of brilliance is the difference between the two sides in what has been a tense and feisty affair. The Reds have had their chances, but they will have to show more in the second half if they are to get back on terms. Bangor 1-2 Crusaders It was a really busy start to the game but as the half-time whistle approaches, chances are growing few and far between. Just over two minutes of additional time to go. Cliftonville 0-1 Larne There will be a minimum of two minutes of added time at the end of the first half. It's been a pulsating opening 45, full of tough tackles, near misses, and plenty of handbags in midfield. The Inver Reds will be happy to go in ahead, while Jim Magilton will feel his side should be level. Coleraine 0-0 Dungannon Swifts We are into two additional minutes at the Showgrounds. Cliftonville 0-1 Larne That is just an utterly needless yellow card for Conor Pepper. The experienced midfielder is furious after a throw-in decision goes against him, and his prolonged protests are met with a booking from Ben Mc Master. Bangor 1-2 Crusaders There will be three minutes of additional time at the end of the first half. Cliftonville 0-1 Larne Andy Waterworth Former Linfield striker on BBC i Player That is class, I have spoken so highly of O'Connor, he looks really good, he shifts it and bang. That is beautiful. Coleraine 2-0 Dungannon Swifts Jamie Glackin heads wide from a Lyndon Kane cross from the right as we approach half-time. Portadown 0-0 Ballymena United Patrick Mc Eleney drags a shot wide of the target from 25 yards. It's reflective of a fairly scrappy opening half at Shamrock Park. Bangor 1-2 Crusaders There is a stoppage in play here to let Michael Morgan receive treatment. Glentoran 1-0 Glenavon Glenavon go within a whisker of equalising. Paul Mc Govern crosses to the back post where Michael O'Connor gets the faintest of headers but it goes agonisingly wide of the right upright. Copyright © 2025 BBC.
