So it's a case of as you were at the Premiership summit with the top three all winning this afternoon.

Leaders Larne beat Linfield in the early kick-off before Glentoran and Coleraine secured comfortable victories.

But there's a big change at the other end of the table as Crusaders move off bottom spot thanks to beating Portadown, with Glenavon now looking up at the rest after a goalless draw with Bangor.

We hope you enjoyed the coverage but that's all from us for now.

Thanks for your company.

That is it over!

Ballymena take the win over 10-man Carrick

The referee brings an end to a tense afternoon at Clandeboye Park. It finishes scoreless, but that does not tell the story of a game packed with missed opportunities.

For Michael O'Connor and his side, a point will feel bittersweet as they fall to the bottom of the table.

Coleraine continue to keep the heat on the two teams above them in the table with a come from behind 6-2 win over Cliftonville at the Showgrounds.

It didn't look good for the home side inside the opening quarter as goals from Joe Gormley and Liam McStravick had them 2-0 ahead by the 22nd minute.

A goal from Matthew Shevlin just minutes later threw the home side a lifeline and two goals in quick succession from Joel Cooper had them 3-2 in front just after the half hour.

Matthew Shevlin made it 4-2 on the stroke of half-time before Cooper duly completed his hat-trick four minutes after the restart to stretch the lead to three.

There was still time for sub Senan Devine to score his first senior goal for the club on an afternoon he won't forget.

An almost perfect afternoon for Glentoran as they cut the gap on leaders Larne to three points while, at the same time, drawing level with the east Antrim men on goal difference.

What a tussle that is going to be at The Oval next Friday night!

Jordan Jenkins nets from a tight angle to score a fifth for Glentoran.

Peter Campbell takes aim with the resulting free-kick but it's straight at Gareth Deane.

Simple stuff for Deane.

It's all over at Seaview as Crusaders pick the perfect time to grab a first win since January 3 as they run out 4-0 winners over Portadown.

Goals from Keiran McKechnie, Fraser Bryden (2) and Elliot Dunlop boost the Crues Premiership survival hopes ahead of their crucial meeting with Glenavon next Saturday.

Reece Neale joins the growing list of those on a caution for a late challenge in the Bangor half.

There will be a minimum of three additional minutes before Dungannon's miserable afternoon finally comes to an end.

Into five additional minutes at Ballycastle Road.

Penalty to United

Danny Gibson gets his and Carrick's second to give the 10-men the lead.

Paddy Burns meets a corner with a thumping header that looks destined for the back of the net, only for Jay Boyd to clear it off the line.

It is a massive moment in the race to beat the drop. Boyd probably knew very little about it, but Michael O’Connor’s side is denied a certain winner.

Reece Neale hurls a trademark long throw into the mixer, which bounces through to an unmarked Josh Ritchie.

It's caught the substitute off guard, who side-foots his effort over the bar. Almost a debut goal with his second touch for the teenager.
