Crusaders now just lead the way on goal difference after being held at home by Larne - 2-2 the final score. 

Glentoran had a 2-1 comeback victory away to Ballymena where Glens boss Mick McDermott was sent to the stands after a clash between the rival dugouts.

Robbie McDaid grabbed a dramatic late double to win it for the visitors...

 

 

A key man in the new Glens regime Paul Millar is happy with the progress made so far...

 

 

Also on Saturday, a Chris Curran strike gave Cliftonville a 1-0 win at Carrick. 

And Coleraine had Eoin Bradley sent off in a scoreless draw with Institute at Ballycastle Road. 

Linfield had no game as they were in action in the Europa League play-off on Thursday night.
