Beggs, Stewart and Swann help see off Pegasus

The Seconds earned a valuable three points, defeating Pegasus Thirds 3-0 with goals from Amy Beggs, Kirbi Stewart and Jennifer Swann.

It was a hard-fought match, but Larne made the most of their chances and coach William Blair was delighted with the performance.

Larne II: C Morrow, K Neill, J Swann, K Stewart, A Beggs, J Wilson, K McIlwaine, D Henry, C Blair, A Snoddy R Beggs, Z Purdy.

The Thirds were in action in the second round of the Junior Cup against Malone. The match was played on gravel which gave the home team an advantage as the Larne girls are used to playing and training on astro. Larne got an early goal from Jackie Spence only for Malone to respond with a quick equaliser. It was end-to-end stuff for most of the game with Larne having to adjust their style to cope with the playing surface. Eventually Larne’s Rachel McIlroy got the winning goal just before the final whistle to put the Larne side through to the third round.

Larne III: T Neill, S Russell, P Crawford, F Hamill, AL McCormick, T Martin, J Poole, J Spence, L Liddle, S Russell, S Evans R McIlroy
