TWO goals in the space of three minutes from Leroy Millar and Sean Graham at the end of the first half earned Larne a 2-1 win away to Coleraine which saw them leapfrog the Bannsiders into top spot.
Millar opened the scoring on 43 minutes, finishing off a Tomas Cosgrove cross via the post and goalkeeper Aidan Harris.
Millar was involved in first half stoppage time when his crossfield ball again found skipper Cosgrove and he squared for Sean Graham to prodice a clinical finish inside the box.
Matthew Shevlin broke the offside trap in stoppage time at the end of the second half to reduce the arrears, but Larne held on for a 2-1 victory.
Next up for Larne is Saturday’s trip to take on Dungannon Swifts at Stangmore Park.
