Andy Ryan struck in either half as Larne ran out 2-0 winners over Loughgall at a wet and windy Inver Park on Friday evening.
The Scottish striker made it five goals in his last three outings as Larne moved to the top of the table, ahead of Linfield’s trip to Glenavon on Saturday.
His first goal came on 20 minutes, courtesy of a fantastic 20 yard free-kick, which he was on hand after the hour mark to make sure of the points with an impressive finish after a good move involving Mark Randall and Tomas Cosgrove.
