IT’S the day of the Glens.

Glenavon streaked into a 3-0 lead in 35 minutes against Ballymena Utd at Mournview – just what manger Oran Kearney had asked of his players.

Glentoran have gone 1-0 up at half time in New Grosvenor against Lisburn Distillery.

And Dungannon Swifts rocked Crusaders with a goal not long before the half time whistle to lead 1-0.

Portadown striker Gary Twigg was taken off early with a knee injury in the Windsor Park clash between injury-hit Linfield and Portadown.

The Mallards are holding Cliftonville to a scoreless draw in Fermanagh while DC manager Pat McAllister was sent to stand in their way game at Coleraine.
