Top four all win - Coleraine comfortably see off Glentoran 3-0 at The Showgrounds, Glenavon win 2-0 at Carrikc, Linfield record a similar score at home to Ards and Crusaders won on Friday night against Ballinamallard United, also by 2-0.

Fading Dungannon Swifts were routed 4-0 at Stangmore by Cliftonville, and there was a real thriller at the Ballymena Showgrounds where a last minute goal rescued a point for the homesters against Warrenpoint Town, 3-3 it finished. Ballymena led, were behind, equalised, fell behind again with 8 minutes left but rallied to rescue a point.

Coleraine top, with 34 points, five in front of second placed Glenavon, who are 3 points in front of Crusaders who have 26, 2 more than fourth placed Linfield. The top four have all played 12 games. Fifth are Cliftonville with 22 from 13, one more than sixth placed Glentoran, who have also played 13.

Bottom half: Ballymena are seventh on goal difference from Dungannon, both on 14 points from 13 games. Ninth are Ards with 10 from 13, a point ahead of Carrick who have a game in hand. Eleventh are Warrenpoint with 8 from 13, 6 more than still winless Ballinamallard who have a game in hand on 'Point.

Championship: Ballyclare still top, despite losing 2-1 to Loughgall, 21 points, Knocckbreda second having played a game more, with Institute third on goal difference having played only 10 games. Portadown were thraged 4-1 at home by Newry City, while Larne drew 2-2 at Dergview, which leaves Larne still bottom on 10 points, one behind Dergview who have a game in hand. Some trip, Larne to Castlederg!

Intermediate: Only two games, Lisburn Distillery beat S&L Swifts 3-0 to go top and Dundela also won 3-0 against Annagh United to go third, Queens University are second.

:lol:

I'm old enough to remember Kilmarnock winning the League, Third Lanark and East Stirlingshire being in the First Division - not both at the same time - 44000 packed into Pittodrie for a cup replay against Hibs, Celtic winning the European Cup, St Mirren beating Rangers 1-0 in front of 40,000 at Love Street in 1969, Rangers winning the Cup Winners Cup. Boy, am I old!

.Meanwhile, there were three games in the league over the weekend. Inconsisitent Ballymena saw off the fading champions, Linfield, 2-1 at the Ballymena Showgrounds on Friday night. Yesterday, Cliftonville went nap at Solitude against Ballinamallard United, running out 5-0 winners, and Warrenpoint Town won the relegation battle at Carrick, scoring 2 late goals and missing a penalty as Carrick finished with 10 men, 2-0 to Town.

Cliftonville are now fourth, and Warrenpoint move out of the relegation spots, they are ninth with 11 points from 15, Ards are tenth with 10 from 14, eleventh are Carrick on 9 from 14, 5 points clear of rock bottom Ballinamallard who have 4 from 15.

wee David Squealy  not too happy about the red, when I first saw it I thought they both flew in so 50/50. Don't see a card rescinded too often and you never see a red card reversed, I didn't watch it just the highlights, did he show the Linfield player a yellow at first?
