Larne beat Linfield 2-0 at Windsor Park in Saturday's early Irish Premiership match to extend their lead at the top of the table to six points.

Matty Lusty rounded David Walsh to score early in the first half and Matthew Ridley headed in the second in the second half to secure victory for Gary Haveron's side and edge them closer to potentially a third league title in four years.

Second-placed Glentoran can reduce their arrears to three if they can defeat Irish Cup finalists Dungannon Swifts at the Oval in one of five 15:00 BST kick-offs.

The Glens retain hope of lifting the Gibson Cup for the first time since 2009.

Coleraine, who lie third, host Cliftonville in the day's other top six encounter.

In the bottom half of the table, basement side Crusaders host Portadown, while Glenavon, level on points with the Crues, are away to Bangor.

Carrick Rangers are at home to Ballymena United.

More to follow.
