The Blues were 2-1 winners at Warrenpoint Town, with Coleraine moving into second spot after a gritty win at Glentoran. Of the other would-be challengers, Crusaders were beaten at Glenavon while Cliftonville spurned two points in a 1-1 draw with Dungannon Swifts. In the lower half of the table, Carrick Rangers inflicted a sixth staight league defeat on Ballymena.
