Three first half goals put Larne on the road to victory over Newry City on Saturday at Inver Park.
Paul O’Neill struck early, while Levi Ives and Micheal Glynn grabbed a goal apiece just before the break.
Levi Ives scored the final goal of the game 14 minutes from time to seal a 4-0 victory and move Larne up to fourth place in the table.
Coming into this game boss Tiernan Lynch was still without a number of injured senior players. He was, however, able to welcome back Levi Ives from suspension and Jaziel Orozco was cleared to make his debut for the club.
It took just four minutes to break the deadlock.
Micheal Glynn whipped in an inviting cross from a short corner, with the visitors unable to clear the danger and the ball fell to Paul O’Neill, who produced a controlled volley to score his first goal of the season.
Dylan Sloan almost added to the lead when he struck the post midway through the half, before a late surge in the half gave Larne a firm grip on proceedings.
With 41 minutes gone Levi Ives cut in from the right flank and curled a left-footed effort towards goal which took a huge deflection off Newry’s Andrew Martin, before wrongfooting Murphy and giving him no chance to keep it out.
Then, just a minute later, there was no doubt who will be credited with Larne’s third of the day. A move on the right flank was started by Scott Allan before good one touch football saw the ball moved inside before Michael Glynn rifled a shot from 20 yards past Murphy.
After the break, Larne could have extended their lead further just before the hour when O’Neill was just unable to get a telling touch to Scott Allan’s inviting low cross.
They did round off the scoring 18 minutes from time with Ives once again impressing after returning from his one-match suspension. He was first to Joe Thomson’s pass on the right flank before beating his man to cut inside and curl an inch-perfect shot across Murphy and into the bottom left corner.
