MATCH BALL FOR LUSTY AS LARNE POWER THROUGH
Matthew Lusty hit a hat-trick as Larne powered into the last four of the BetMcLean Cup with victory over Annagh United at the BMG Arena.
The 21-year-old opened the scoring midway through the first half with a driven effort back across goal after Jason Craughwell had initially turned away a corner.
Larne doubled their advantage early in the second half after Benji Magee progressed down the right to send over a low cross that was turned into the net by a home defender.
Then, three minutes after that, Lusty doubled his tally for the evening with a volley into the corner of net from a Mark Randall delivery.
Leroy Millar extended Larne's lead seven minutes from time after Tomas Cosgrove had knocked a cross back into his path.
Lusty then bagged his third of the evening right at the end with another great finish across the goal.
