LARNE PICK UP THREE POINTS ON THE ROAD

Larne made it four league games unbeaten with victory over Crusaders at Seaview.

A closely contested first half saw the defending champions move in front on 39 minutes through Tomas Cosgrove who got on the end of a Levi Ives corner to nod the ball just over the line despite Jarlath O'Rourke's best attempts at making a clearance.

However the Crues hit back in first half stoppage time after Stewart Nixon did well to send the ball over from the left for Jacob Blaney to unleash a thunderous effort past Rohan Ferguson from inside the area.

Larne responded eight minutes into the second half to regain the advantage. Christopher Gallagher started the move finding Cosgrove out on the right who then delivered the ball for Ives to rise highest and beat Jonny Tuffey with a header.

The visitors added to their tally deep into added time when Dylan Sloan's ball into the box took a deflection off Crues defender Jimmy Callacher and into the net.
