Larne came from a goal down to record a 2-1 victory at the Ballymena Showgrounds on Tuesday evening
Jordan McMullan fired the home side into the lead after just eight minutes, but Tiarnan O’Connor finished some good work from Jordan McEneff on the half hour mark.
The winner came 17 minutes from time when McEneff was against the created and Paul O’Neill was alive to bury the winner as Larne inched closer to an automatic European qualification spot in the table.
