Glentoran 0-0 Larne Danny Amos goes on an overlapping run on the left flank but his deflected cross goes harmlessly through to Larne keeper Rohan Ferguson. Glentoran 0-0 Larne David Jeffrey Former Linfield & Ballymena manager on BBC Sport NI Larne have come out with much more purpose. Larne were very much on the receiving end of Glentoran's dominance in the first half. Glentoran 0-0 Larne Matt Ridley gets a firm header on a long cross with Glentoran keeper Andrew Mills opting to punch clear rather than catch. Glentoran 0-0 Larne Glentoran's Jordan Stewart picks up the first yellow card of the evening for a late challenge on Chris Gallagher. Glentoran 0-0 Larne Paul Leeman Former Glentoran captain on BBC Sport NI The fans have been really behind them [Glentoran]. Any little opportunity Glentoran have, you just hear the noise rising within the Oval. The fans are really going to play their part. This is the biggest crowd I have seen in a long time. Glentoran 0-0 Larne We're back under way with no changes for either side at the break. Both managers keeping their powder dry for now. HT: Glentoran 0-0 Larne David Jeffrey Former Linfield & Ballymena manager on BBC Sport NI It has been everything we hoped and more. Glentoran have been dominant in possession, they have been aggressive, quick and decisive. From a Larne perspective, they have defended like their lives depended on it. HT: Glentoran 0-0 Larne Paul Leeman Former Glentoran captain on BBC Sport NI Pat Hoban has played well and looks up for it. He is dropping in deep. His chance, he got his shot completely wrong. He tries to beat the keeper at the near post but, for me, he has to go across the goal. HT: Glentoran 0-0 Larne As well as these two title-challenging sides, the most

interested observers this evening will be Coleraine. They need this match to be either

a Glentoran win or a draw and they then need to win themselves at Linfield

tomorrow to make it a three-horse title race on the final day, when the

Bannsiders host the Glens A Larne victory this evening will mean that Coleraine’s wait

for a first league title since 1974 will have to wait for at least another

year. HT: Glentoran 0-0 Larne Andy Gray BBC Sport NI at the Oval Glentoran will have not wanted to hear the half-time whistle, they were on top at the end of the opening 45 minutes. Bar that one Leroy Millar opening, the hosts have had all the best chances but they will need to take one after the restart if the are to shift the destiny of the Gibson Cup into their own hands. Don't forget, a draw will suit Larne just fine heading into the final day of the season. HT: Glentoran 0-0 Larne Paul Leeman Former Glentoran captain on BBC Sport NI The pace of the game has been quite frantic, it is hard for the players to keep that up, but it has been a cracker game. Glentoran 0-0 Larne Pat Hoban glances a header wide in the last action of the first half. Larne will be quite happy to reach the sanctuary of the changing room with Glentoran steadily building momentum towards the end of the opening period. Glentoran 0-0 Larne There will be a minimum of three minutes of additional time at the end of the first period. Glentoran 0-0 Larne Paul Leeman Former Glentoran captain on BBC Sport NI What a challenge that is from Gallagher and it is great defending from Larne. Glentoran 0-0 Larne Glentoran go close as Josh Daniels cuts the ball back for Joe Thomson, but the recently introduced sub is squeezed out by a posse of opponents. The ball is recycled and Danny Amos' shot is deflected away by Larne's Cricky Gallagher. Glentoran are starting to knock on the door as half-time approaches. Glentoran 0-0 Larne Aaron Mc Eneff is unable to continue and is replaced by Joe Thomson six minutes before half-time. Glentoran 0-0 Larne A brief delay while Aaron Mc Eneff receives some treatment gives both managers a chance to have a tactical catch-up with their players. Glentoran 0-0 Larne Ryan Cooney's over-hit corner to the back post is kept alive by Marcus Kane and Chris Gallagher has to be alert to head the ball clear. Larne immediately surge forward on the counter-attack but it comes to nothing. Glentoran 0-0 Larne Ryan Cooney is unable to cut out Sean Graham's through ball leaving Leroy Millar a sight of goal but the midfielder fires off-target. Certainly the visitors' best opening to date.
