    Former Glentoran and Carrick Rangers striker on BBC Radio Ulster

    It was a fantastic performance from Carrick.

    Carrick made it look very comfortable. Dungannon started well, but they hit them on the break with three goals in quick succession.

  5. 'Crusaders didn't do enough'published at 16:56 GMT 24 January

    FT: Crusaders 0-1 Linfield

    Colin Coates
    Former Crusaders captain on BBC Radio Ulster

    Crusaders didn't do enough in the final third, which is strange with the quality of player they have in that area.

    Linfield, to be fair, were excellent today.

  6. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:54 GMT 24 January

    Crusaders 0-1 Linfield

    Linfield dominate proceedings and run out 1-0 winners at Seaview.

    There were a few hairy moments in the second half for the Blues, but the Crues were second best for large portions of the match and the three points are going back to south Belfast.

  7. YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:52 GMT 24 January

    Crusaders 0-1 Linfield

    Lewis Barr is booked late on for his late challenge on Adam Frizzell.

  8. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:50 GMT 24 January

    Carrick Rangers 5-1 Dungannon Swifts

    It is all over at Taylors Avenue and the day belongs to Carrick and striker Adam Lecky.

    A superb hat-trick from Lecky completed a joyous day for the new County Antrim Shield winners.

    That is now nine goals in two league games for Carrick and their worries of automatic relegation are fading as they rise to ninth.

    A disastrous day all around for the Swifts.

  9. INJURY TIMEpublished at 16:50 GMT 24 January

    Crusaders 0-1 Linfield

    There will be three minutes of additional time at Seaview.

  10. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:49 GMT 24 January

    Crusaders 0-1 Linfield

    Darragh Leahy's header from a Kirk Millar corner hits both the post and the crossbar before being cleared by goalkeeper Musa Dibaga.

    Leahy look a real aerial threat in an attacking area from corners and free-kicks.

    Crusaders have created nothing of note and, if Linfield don't go on and win this, David Healy will be furious.

    Adam Lecky (83 mins)

    It is a hat-trick for the big striker Lecky!

    A long ball forward plays Lecky through as he beats the offside trap before tucking it low past Declan Dunne in goal.

    What a game for Lecky and Carrick Rangers.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 16:41 GMT 24 January

    Declan Caddell makes his third change of the afternoon as Jonathan James replaces Cameron Bruce for Crusaders.

    Dungannon have something on the board at least.

    A high free-kick is played into the Carrick area by James Knowles and there is Liggett to nod home from five yards.

    Crusaders 0-1 Linfield

    Charlie Allen forces Musa Dibaga into a smart save down to his right after getting on the end of Kyle McClean's through ball.

    The game has gone a bit flat but it's still Linfield who look the most likely if there is to be another goal at Seaview.

    Almost immediate impact from Steele who strolls into the Dungannon half before playing a ball through to Danny Gibson.

    Gibson is stretching but gets a shot away, forcing Declan Dunne into a save.

    Crusaders 0-1 Linfield

    Almost a calamity at the back for the Blues before Darragh Leahy does well to get the ball behind for a corner.

    The resulting set piece finds its way to Adam Brooks whose strike is then cleared off the line by Jamie Mulgrew.

    That's the closest the Crues have come to a goal so far.

    With Linfield lead still just a slender one, there is certainly hope for Declan Caddell's side.

    Carrick Rangers 4-0 Dungannon Swifts

    Dungannon looking so vulnerable in defence when Carrick counter.

    This time Paul Heatley wins back possession in the box before laying the ball back to Danny Gibson who tries a rasping drive that draws a phenomenal save from Declan Dunne who tips the ball over the bar.
