As usual there were plenty of thrills and spills, here we pick out our standout moments from the opening round of fixtures...
5. Brace, Brace!
Both Paul Heatley and Ben Kennedy scored twice for Crusaders in their 5-1 demolition of Dungannon Swifts to take an early lead of the goal scoring charts with Coleraine's Evan McLaughlin.
6. Kane and Able!
Friday night's opener between Larne and Glentoran may not have had too many standout moments but it did include the start of Marcus Kane's 11th season as a Glentoran player! Well done Moko!
