We are well into the final stretch of the Irish League season and there were some big games on Saturday afternoon. We had a busy schedule in all of the NI Football League divisions.

There were six fixtures in the Premiership including European chasing Glentoran's trip to Crusaders, while Larne travelled to Coleraine.

Meanwhile, Bangor's 3-2 defeat to Annagh United in the Championship has given the Seasiders' rivals some hope. Annagh now sit second but Harland and Wolff Welders has the chance to secure that spot with victory over Dundela today. Limavady United, who sit third, travelled to Ards.

And in the PIL leaders Warrenpoint Town travelled to Coagh United, and Dollingstown hosted Queen's University.
