Danske Bank Premiership fixtures postponed after positive Covid cases

Two of this weekend's games in the Danske Bank Premiership have been postponed in line with the NI Football League's Covid Case Policy.

Friday night's clash between Carrick Rangers and Crusaders and Saturday's fixture between Portadown and Larne are both off.

The NI Football League said the postponements had been "requested and confirmed in line with the NI Football League's Covid Case Policy".

Crusaders revealed on Thursday night that they had two confirmed positive Covid cases identified by the Public Health Agency from their game against Portadown on December 12.

The Shore Road club said it was currently working with the  IFA, PHA and NIFL on the cases.

Ards have also cancelled their friendly game against The Drome on Saturday and will not train again before Christmas after the Championship club played Crusaders in a friendly on Monday night.
