    It's a difficult place to come. They are a really good football side. It's that time of the year that pitches are hard to play on, they are dried out and a bit bobbly. It was hard for both sides to play the football they are known for. To come away with a result we are delighted because we know how difficult a place it is to come.

  2. Result was embarrassing - Graypublished at 22:06 GMT 22 March 2022

    It's an embarrassing result. There was six minutes of madness at the tail end of the first half that cost us any chance of self respect at all. We're not going to win games the way we defended tonight - simple as that. We had two good chances in the six yard box, missed both of them and a few minutes later we found ourselves massively trailing in the game. I'm absolutely dreading it [playing Linfield on Saturday], to be honest with you. We said after Saturday's performance we wouldn't throw the towel in, which is great coming from me but it looked very different from where I was standing tonight.

    I'm pleased to get the win. We were carrying a few aches and pains over the past few weeks and it is rare you get an opportunity in the thunder of this league to blood through a couple of younger players. It was nice to get a few of them out there to see what they could do, but to get the win as well. We're in a results business and it is nice to get back to winning ways.

    Cliftonville hang on for a HUGE three points that takes them one point off Linfield at the top.

    It wasn't pretty but Paddy McLaughlin's men got the job done.

    It's worth nothing that Oran Kearney's men have secured their spot in the top half of the table for the split fixtures with three points tonight.

    Dungannon Swifts 0-1 Cliftonville

    The 10 men of Cliftonville are hanging on here!

    Luke McNicholas produces a brilliant double stop to keep out Ryan Mayse and then Michael Glynn.

    A big, big moment.

    Ah Milltown, we hadn't forgotten about you.

    Josh Carson is brought down in the area and Andrew Mitchell nets Coleraine's fifth of the night.

    Job done.

  10. RED CARDpublished at 21:19 GMT 22 March 2022

    Dungannon Swifts 0-1 Cliftonville

    Well, well, well! Jamie McDonagh is shown a straight red card!

    The winger takes a heavy touch and slides through the back of Ryan Mayse, and Evan Boyce wastes no time in sending McDonagh off.

    A late twist?

  11. CLOSE!published at 21:06 GMT 22 March 2022

    Dylan King heads Ryan Mayse's cross wide from inside the area. Decent chance for the Swifts, who have looked a lot more solid since the break.

    There's still a game going on at Stangmore Park despite Milltown hogging all the goals.

    As things stand Cliftonville would move one point behind Linfield....

    Just when you think it couldn't get any worse for Coleraine, Curtis Allen is gifted his second and Coleraine's fourth.

    He keeps his cool to lob Conor Mitchell and extend Coleraine's lead.

    We....don't know what to say, really.

    After Warrenpoint fought so well to get back into the game seven minutes of madness allowed Coleraine to race clear.

    Things are looking bleak for Barry Gray's men.
