Jacksgranda Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) Linfield beat Cliftonville in a highly entertaining derby at Windsor Park, 4-2 to The Blues, with Waterworth getting a hat trick Glenavon see off bottom dogs Ards, 3-1 at home. Crusaders score a last minute winner to thwart Dungannon Swifts at Seaview, 3-2 to The Crues.

Update - Charlie has scored 7 goals in 6 games, training tonight and a match tomorrow evening in Carrick.

Jacksgranda Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 Half time Coleraine 0 Newry City 1, and Newry worth their lead from what I've seen. Coleraine have huffed and puffed but haven't created much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 Coleraine go from bad to worse, it finished Coleraine 0 Newry City 1, fairly comfortable for Newry as they pick up their first away points of the season, having lost their previous 8 away games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46413960 Ballymena go top after coming from behind to beat Linfield 2-1 at the Ballymena Showgrounds. Cliftonville give Dungannon a goal of a start before winning 5-1 at Solitude. There's a ding dong battle at Mourneview, ending 3-3 between Glenavon and Institute. The Latvian officials at The Oval got a bit of criticism from the Radio Ulster commentary team in the Belfast derby, where 3 are sent off. 2-2 between The Glens and The Crues. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46413965 And Warrenpoint Town and Ards draw 1-1 at Bangor. All the action: - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/46415147 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/46415417 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/46415187 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/46415547 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/46415549 Ballymena top with 39 points from 18, two ahead of Linfield, who have also played 18. Third are Glenavon, 36 from 17, with Crusaders fourth on 32 from 18. Fifth are Cliftonville with 29 from 17, 4 ahead of Coleraine who have also played 17. Bottom half: Glentoran are seventh with 20 points from 18, eighth are Institute with 18 from 18, ahead of Warrenpoint Town on goal difference, tenth are Dungannon Swifts with 15 from 17, Newry City are eleventh with 14 from 18, 3 points above bottom placed |Ards, who have played 18. In The Championship bottom club Dergview nearly pulled off a shock against top of the table Larne, but it finished 1-1 in Castlederg. That leaves Larne 14 points clear of second placed Dundela, who lost at home to Ballyclare Comrades. Carrick won at Portadown to leapfrog their hosts into third spot. And despite Dergview's heroics they are now more stranded at the bottom than they were as both Limavady and Ballinamallard won. https://www.nifootballleague.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) All 12 teams were in action yesterday - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46494878 Ballymena put in a powerful performance at Warrenpoint to win 4-2 and stay top. A good result as this had the potential of an upset. However, Linfield were in equally impressive form as they crushed Crusaders 4-1 at The Windsor International Park Stadium. Cliftonville win 4-2 at Solitude over Glenavon, the Lurgan Blues starting to fade, perhaps. 3-3 at The Brandywell between Institute and Glentoran. Plenty of goals so far but only the one at The Coleraine Showgrounds and it was the home team that claimed it against Ards. And honours even at Stangmore Park, Dungannon Swifts 1 Newry City 1. Ballymena stay top, 42 from 19, two ahead of Linfield also played 19. Third are Glenavon 36 from 18, so they're not out of it by any means. Fourth are Cliftonville 32 from 18, ahead of Crusaders on goal difference, but The Crues have played 19. Sixth are Coleraine with 28 from 18. Bottom half: Glentoran seventh with 21 from 19, eighth are Institute 19 from 19, ninth are Warrenpoint Town one point back having played 19. Tenth are Dungannon Swifts who have 16 from 18, a point ahead of Ards* who have played 19, with Ards in bottom spot still with 11 from 19. I heard David Jeffrey on the radio yesterday, spoke very well. Also last season was only the second time Ballymena had finished in the top six since the format was introduced in 2007/08, both times under David Jeffrey.

Loughgall won at Ballinamallard and remain fourth. Dergview drew at Ballyclare and closed the gap at the bottom on Limavady to only 4 points. Next week Ballymena are at home to Institute, Linfield are at Newry, while Glenavon play Coleraine on the Friday night. Ards are at home to Cliftonville, Glentoran face Warrenpoint and Crusaders are at home to Dungannon. * Or Newry City as they are better known...

Ivo den Bieman Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) Such an entertaining league. The games last weekend at Warrenpoint, Solitude and the Brandywell all cracking matches with some great goals. Would love to see Ballymena go on to take the title but I think they’ve yet to see their annual tailspin in form. Can see it again being a battle between Linfield, Crusaders and Cliftonville should that happen. If Ballymena can hold on, however, that title would mean a lot more to big David Jeffrey than any he won at Windsor Park. Good to see Johnny Tuffey still has crisp packet hands Edited December 11, 2018 by Ivo den Bieman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
