  1. KICK-OFFpublished at 18:00 BST 19 September

    Coleraine 0-0 Limavady United

    Limavady United captain Philip Lowry gets us underway at the Coleraine Showgrounds where, for one night only, the home team will be the 'away' team.

    A clash of kits means Ruaidhri Higgins' men will wear an eye-catching purple number instead of their customary blue and white stripes.

    The Bannsiders boss will be hoping it's not a bad omen, given that it's approaching 10 months since they last lost a league game at Ballycastle Road.

    Coleraine v Limavady United (18:00 BST)

    The Bannsiders host the Roesiders in an intriguing north west derby - and a first top flight meeting in some 18 years!

    Coleraine, unbeaten in their last 14 league games, make five changes to the team which started Tuesday night's dramatic win at Glentoran.

    Lyndon Kane, Matthew Shevlin, Jay Henderson and Ben Wylie all drop to the bench, while there is no place in the squad for defender Rob Slevin.

    In come Dylan Boyle, Cameron Stewart, Levi Ives, Senan Devine and Lewis McGregor, who is rewarded for his added time winner at the Oval with a rare start.

    Limavady United also ring the changes: Jamie McGonigle, hat-trick hero in the midweek win over Bangor, is on loan from Coleraine and therefore unable to play against his parent club, as is promising teenage midfielder Alfie Gaston.

    Stephen Lowry, another of the sizeable former Coleraine contingent in Paul Owens' squad, is suspended following his sending-off last time out and Daniel Lafferty is named among the replacements.

    Ruairi Boorman, Rodney Brown, Sean Carlin and Leon Boyd step up.

    Coleraine: Webb, Boyle, Stewart, McGregor, Patching, Cooper (c), Ives, Wilson, Brooks, Devine, Doherty.

    Subs: Schofield, Kane, Shevlin, Henderson, McDonald, Wylie, Tonks.

    Limavady United: Gallagher, Farren, T. Boorman, Lowry, R. Boorman, Butcher, Brown, Wilson, Mullan, Carlin, Boyd.

    Subs: Doherty, Riley, Jarvis, Duffy, Tosh, Lafferty, Rankin.

    Referee: Mark Dillon.

    Highlights: Limavady United v Bangor

    Jamie McGonigle's 22-minute hat-trick gave Limavady United a second Irish Premiership win in a row as they beat Bangor 3-1 at the Limavady Showgrounds.

    McGonigle's deft dink on three minutes broke the deadlock before two thunderbolts including a 25-yard free-kick paved the way for a vital three points for the Roesiders.

    Tiernan Mulvenna pulled one back for Bangor on 71 minutes, but the visitors were unable to convert their late pressure into goals.

    Limavady, who had Stephen Lowry sent off late on, are now ninth in the table with their second win of the season, while Bangor stay 11th and are still awaiting their first league win of the campaign.

  6. Higgins hails 'dramatic' Coleraine win over Glenspublished at 17:19 BST 19 September

    Coleraine v Limavady United (18:00 BST)

    Coleraine boss Ruaidhri Higgins said "dramatic is the right word" after his side snatched a late winner against Glentoran deep into injury time in Tuesday's Irish Premiership game at the Oval.

    The game appeared to be heading for a 1-1 draw before substitute Lewis McGregor pounced in the 94th minute to extend the league leaders' unbeaten run to 14 games.

    It was also the Bannsiders second late winner in five days after Aidan Wilson's late strike earned a 3-2 win against Ballymena.

    "Dramatic is the right word, I actually didn't realise we were so deep into injury time whenever we got the winner so I was delighted when I heard that," Higgins told BBC Sport NI.

    "It's a huge win and it summarises the last four or five days and the character that we have in our group to turn potentially two points into six which is huge.

    "We spoke about it in pre-season, we speak about it all the time - we have starters and we have finishers and we don't look at them any other way.

    "Our team on Saturday (at home to Limavady United) will probably be different to that which played tonight. We've such a good group of lads, they all understand that you don't achieve anything with 12/13 players, we need the group and the group has been fantastic so far."
