It kicked off on Friday evening when Braiden Graham made history by becoming Linfield’s youngest ever player in their 5-0 win at Dungannon Swifts.
Coleraine were reduced to 10-men against league leaders Larne but held on for a point and Crusaders extended their unbeaten run to nine matches in all competitions with a 3-0 triumph over Carrick Rangers.
All of the action at the Newry Showgrounds on Saturday was squeezed into six second-half minutes as Ryan Curran’s late winner ensured Cliftonville bounced back with a 2-1 win against Newry City.
We’re also going to include Northern Ireland’s disappointing 1-0 Euro 2024 qualifying defeat to Finland at the National Stadium in our weekend review gallery. Here are 13 of the best snaps from around the grounds...
