4: Philip Lowry drags a 12 yard shot wide after a weak clearance by Kris Lindsay dropped to him.

23: Michael Gault replaces Coates who hasn’t recovered from the bang on the head.
27 minutes: Mark Patton sent off for denying a clear goal scoring opportunity as he tripped Gavin Whyte just outside the box. Whyte had been released by a clever pass from Jordan Owens and had a clear run on goal.
32: Declan O’Brien comes on for Moorouse who was still looking a bit groggy from that earlier clash of heads with Colin Coates who had already been substituted by Michael Gault.
33: Michael Carvill caught a clearance from Kris Lindsay full in the face and has had to go off with blood pouring from his nose. He looks very dazed. David Cushley has replaced Carvill
35: Cushley’s curling right foot shot palmed away by Jonny Tuffey
45: Paddy McCourt feeds the ball to Rhys Marshall and he skips past a couple of challenges into the Crues box. He finds O’Brien who has a low shot well saved by Sean O’Neill
Half time subs for Glenavon: David Elebert for Kris Lindsay, Andrew Doyle for Simon Kelly
49: Doyle makes a vital tackle to prevent Lowry getting a shot away from 10 yards after great work down the right by Gavin Whyte

55: Matthew Snoddy replaces Richard Clarke
60: Cushley’s free kick is headed goal-wards by Jordan Forsythe but Doyle clears it off the line. The ball comes back in and Tuffey punches it clear.

68: Ross Holden replaces Gavin Whyte
69: Hamilton is booked for a trip on Gault.
70: Doyle wins the ball in a tackle with Snoddy who picks up a leg or ankle injury. The referee adjudges that a fair tackle but the Crues player has to be stretchered off. Hopefully it’s not a serious injury for the youngster. Jordan Jenkins, 16-year old forward replaces Declan O’Brien
72: Marcio Soares replaces Snoddy

83: Owens heads on a long ball for Soares and he forces a good save from Tuffey with a well-struck drive from inside the box.
