A TALE OF TWO PENALTIES
League champions Larne finally kicked off their title defence with a point away to Coleraine.
Matthew Shevlin had given the Bannsiders the advantage at the break when, on 39 minutes, he slotted home from the spot after Sam Todd was adjudged to have handled the ball.
However Larne had a penalty of their own midway through the second half after Conor McKendry had been upended with Andy Ryan stepping up to convert.
