Larne Ladies hosted second-placed Raphoe on Saturday in Senior 1 and emerged on the wrong end of a 4-3 scoreline.

From the start a determined Larne side applied pressure on the Donegal outfit and they dominated the first half.

The local girls unsettled Raphoe with their fast, attacking play, winning several short corners.

And Larne took the lead when Gillian Rennix finished a well-worked short corner with a reverse shot. Raphoe were then reduced to 10 players when a green card was shown after a defender was deemed to have deliberately stopped the ball with a foot.
