A moment of concern for Limavady United manager Paul Owens as talented teenager Alfie Gaston is down receiving treatment.

Thankfully for the hosts he is fit to continue.

Limavady have to get Alfie Gaston on the ball and try get the ball to striker Oisin Duffy and get themselves out.

At the moment, it is just wave after wave of Linfield attack.

Dungannon enjoy a spell of possession before Rory Hale makes a crucial interception on Sean McAllister and launches a Cliftonville counter-attack, with Ben Quinn driving forward before his effort is deflected behind for a corner.

Dean McMaster plays the corner short to Hale before Liam McStravick eventually delivers towards the far post. A deflection takes it to Bernard Healy, who finds the net, but the offside flag is raised.

It's wave after wave of Linfield attacks at this stage but Limavady United continue to defend stoutly - and frustrate their opponents.

The hosts' go close again and Ross Clarke really should have scored.

Declan Devine will be pulling his hair out on the touchline.

It is the end of the afternoon for Glentoran skipper Marcus Kane.

Jordan Forsythe hangs a deep free-kick towards the back post where Billy-Joe Burns nods it down into the path of Luke McCullough.

The defender unleashes a stinging volley towards goal, but Lewis Harrison throws himself in front of it to make the block.

Superb defending from Reece Neale to keep the deficit at one.

The ball is fizzed in low across the face of the six-yard box, but the defender gets there just ahead of Aidan Steele to hook it clear.

Totally against the run of play Crusaders almost hit the front.

Owen Wardell is played through on goal down the right. He enters the box before offloading a right-footed effort that beats Billy Crellin in the Glens' goal, but can't keep his effort down and it goes just over.

Should really have hit the target there.

Linfield have dominated possession for much of the opening half an hour but Limavady United have just carved out the best chance of the game.

Alfie Gaston, on loan from Coleraine, makes ground down the left wing before cutting in on his right foot, his low shot flashing just inches past the far post.

Big chance for the hosts.
