And, player/manager, Alison Nicholl, who was forced to watch from the sidelines, was proud of her team's display.

She singled out keeper Alice Harkness for prase: "Alice made a number of good saves in the game.

"She was superb, making three double saves to keep us in game. Two of the Larne goals were defensive mix ups, when no one came to help Alice clear the ball, but this is something we need to work on."

Alison went on: "Going forward we definitely looked dangerous.
