Among those taking part were former Lisburn Distillery duo Gary Thompson and David Cushley, both of whom have been linked with moves to the Showgrounds this summer.

After tonight’s game at Larne, United travel to Dublin this weekend for a four-team tournament, in which they will play Welsh Premier League outfit Port Talbot Town on Saturday (6.45pm).

That will be followed on Sunday by a second game against either hosts St James’ Gate, or Bohemians.
