Storm Darragh has caused the postponement of Saturday’s Irish Premiership games between Glentoran and Ballymena United at the Oval and Glenavon and Crusaders at Mourneview Park.

The match between the Glens and the Sky Blues was called off following a pitch inspection at 10:30 GMT on Saturday, with the game between the Lurgan Blues and the Crues postponed later because of the adverse weather.

The remainder of Saturday’s four scheduled games in the top flight are currently set to go ahead despite the high winds.

The match between Loughgall and Larne will take place as planned after an inspection.

The day’s other 15:00 GMT kick-offs see Cliftonville host Carrick Rangers and Dungannon Swifts at home to Linfield.

Coleraine play Portadown at Ballycastle Road at 17:00.

The Premier Intermediate League matches between Tobermore United and Oxford Sunnyside and Knockbreda and Lisburn Distillery have been called off.

It was revealed on Friday that Saturday’s Ulster Club Intermediate Football Championship final between Arva and Ballinderry at Healy Park had been postponed.

Cavan’s Arva and Derry side Ballinderry were due to face each other in Omagh at 17:00 GMT.

However, in a short statement on Friday evening, Ulster GAA said the match has been postponed “due to the amber weather warning”.

The game has been refixed for Saturday, 14 December at the same venue with a 17:00 GMT throw-in.

An amber warning for wind has been issued for Northern Ireland from 01:00 GMT on Saturday until 21:00 on Saturday.
