Andy Ryan gives Larne an early lead!
Michael Glynn's throw in is played back to the January signing, who plays in an inch-perfect pass which finds Andy Ryan in the box.
He beats Daniel Larmour to the ball and makes no mistake from close range.
The perfect start for Larne.

West Belfast's Casement Park has been included in the UK and Ireland's joint bid to host the 2028 European Championships.
The proposed redevelopment of the stadium, which has been granted, would see it's capacity reach 34,500.
This would ensure Northern Ireland had a stadium that met the requried capacity to be invovled in the major tournament, but a Northern Ireland fan group has opposed the inclusion of a stadium which will primarily be used by the GAA.

It could be a historic night at Seaview this evening for Larne.
If they manage to avoid defeat against Crusaders they will be crowned Irish Premiership champions for the first time in their history.
Standing in their way are a Crusaders side who have been beaten only once at home in the league this season, a 1-0 reverse to Ballymena way back in November.
Two of the three encounters between the two sides have ended in draws, with Larne winning the other meeting 4-1 at Inver Park in an early indication of their title winning credentials.
Seaview is set to be rocking tonight and we will have live text commentary and in-game clips so sit back, relax and enjoy!
