MATTY Lusty scored a hat-trick as Larne booked their place in the semi-final of the BetMcLean Cup with a 5-0 win away to Annagh United.
Lusty fired Larne into a half-time lead, before an own goal doubled the tally and Lusty made it 3-0 within five minutes of the restart in the second half.
Leroy Millar, on his return from injury, made it 4-0 late on, with Lusty completing his hat-trick and the goalscoring for the night with virtually the last kick of the game.
The Invermen will now host Cliftonville in the last four in January.
