Larne ‘buzzing’ at prospect of Welly Rec derby
After a superb league win over Dundela in the new League Cup on Tuesday night, the Larne men produced a ‘brilliant performance’ to win their first set of maximum points in a must-win league match on Saturday at home to Glebe Rangers.
“The players have shown exactly what they are capable of in the last two matches and I am becoming increasingly confident about what the season holds for us – and with lots of justification,” explained Millar.

“Saturday’s 4-2 win was a brilliant performance and our courage and character was even more in evidence after leading 2-0 and being pegged back level after there was a wonder strike and a defensive mix-up from which Glebe benefited.
“In some former times, the morale would have been seriously dented by losing a two-goal lead, but instead the guys just showed greater resolve than ever to get stuck in again and win the game 4-2. Indeed, we dominated the second half.”
