Linfield’s frustrations continued last night as the Blues dropped to fifth place and now trail League leaders Larne by 14 points following the Blues’ 3-1 defeat away to Coleraine in the Sports Direct Premiership.

Glentoran took the ‘Big Two’ bragging rights from the annual Boxing Day derby this afternoon, with Joe Thomson’s first-half strike enough to ensure the Glens would win at Windsor Park on Boxing Day for the first time in history. It’s also the first time the Glens have won a League game at Windsor Park in...
It was very much a day to forget for Linfield as the Blues were not at the races and paid the price as they were turned over by basement side Glenavon at Mourneview Park this afternoon. The first half of the match was a borefest. A strong wind didn’t help the spectacle and chances were...

The champions against the league leaders was the billing for Inver Park this evening, but Linfield and Larne were inseparable in a stalemate draw – the 21st draw in the 113th League meeting between the teams. It was a damp squib of a game on a very damp night in Larne, although perhaps it’s not...

Linfield closed the gap at the top of the Sports Direct Premiership with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Bangor at Clandeboye Park this afternoon.
