What an afternoon we’ve had as Portadown end Larne’s 18-match unbeaten run in the league with a 2-1 win at Shamrock Park.

However, Coleraine’s 1-1 draw at Carrick Rangers means the Bannsiders only manage to narrow the gap on the leaders to five points.

Elsewhere, Glentoran remain third with a come from behind win over Ballymena United, while Linfield had too much for bottom of the pile Glenavon.

Crusaders also showed their battling qualities to fight back for a draw at home to Bangor.

We have the reports of today’s action, plus highlights and reaction on the BBC Sport NI website and app.

We’re back on Tuesday for more Irish Premiership action, plus an Irish Cup round six game between Glentoran and Drumaness Mills.

Until then, take care.
