There were just four games in the Danske Bank Premiership on Saturday.
Linfield were in all-Ireland duty last night in the Unite the Union Champions Cup .
Larne take on Crusaders on Monday night in front of the Sky Sports cameras.
That gave Coleraine and Cliftonville a chance to steal a march on their title rivals this afternoon.
Here's how they got on:
Coleraine 4-0 Glenavon
10' - GOAL COLERAINE!!! James McLaughlin appears to head home Ben Doherty's corner, but some confusion over whether Glenavon defender Caolan Marron got the final touch. [1-0]
40' - RED CARD!! Glenavon down to 10 men - Daniel Larmour is sent off for a foul on James McLaughlin. Coleraine thought they had scored but it was disallowed for offside, referee Arnold Hunter then consults with his assistant and sends Larmour off for a foul. [1-0]
44' - GOAL COLERAINE!! The home side double their lead against 10-man Glenavon! James McLaughlin makes no mistake after Eoin Bradley was initially denied. [2-0]
61' - CROSSBAR!! Aaron Jarvis rattles the woodwork for the Bannsiders! [2-0]
63' - GOAL COLERAINE!! James McLaughlin gets his second (or could it be the hat-trick?). Anyway, it's 3-0 to the league leaders. [3-0]
77' - GOAL COLERAINE!! Ben Doherty scores his seventh penalty of the season after he was fouled inside the box. Game well and truly over. [4-0]
Cliftonville 4-0 Warrenpoint
23' - GOAL CLIFTONVILLE!! Mark McKee breaks the deadlock after playing a neat one-two with Joe Gormley before finishing off. [1-0]
25' - GOAL CLIFTONVILLE!! What a strike from Conor McDermott!! He dinks the ball over the head of Alan O'Sullivan and then lobs Warrenpoint keeper Berraat Turker from inside his own half! Incredible. [2-0]
41' - GOAL CLIFTONVILLE!! Joe Gormley taps home after Rory Donnelly is denied by Warrenpoint keeper Turker. Reds cruising here. [3-0]
51' - GOAL CLIFTONVILLE!! Ryan Curran scores from the penalty spot after Joe Gormley was fouled inside the area by Dermot McVeigh. [4-0]
Ballymena Utd 1-2 Carrick Rangers
1' - GOAL CARRICK!! It takes Carrick just 45 seconds to break the deadlock. Jerry Thompson’s cross eventually falls to Daniel Kelly who fires home. [0-1]
12' - GOAL BALLYMENA!! Aaron Burns scores his first goal for the Sky Blues, heading home at the back post from Steven McCullough's corner. [1-1]
23' - GOAL CARRICK!! The visitors are back in front. Unmarked Lee Chapman makes no mistake in the 23rd minute. [1-2]
29' - CROSSBAR!! Balymena's Andy McGrory hits a shot that rattles off the underside of the crossbar before being cleared away. [1-2]
Institute 1-1 Glentoran
14' - GOAL GLENTORAN!!! Elvio van Overbeek gets his first goal for the club to edge the visitors in front at the Brandywell. [0-1]
42' - GOAL INSTITUTE!! The hosts are level, Niall Grace on target. Free-kick isn't cleared and the ball breaks to Grace who fires home.
