The second half was a much quieter affair with Ballyclare starting the better of the two teams. Kerry McLeod scored their second goal of the game after only five minutes of play.

However, Larne were able to lift their game again and scored their fifth through captain Ruth Dalton with five minutes remaining.

A solid performance from the home team gaining three valuable points, puts them joint-top of the league with Portadown.

Team: T Neill, G Russell, R Beggs, Rebecca Dalton, L Snoddy, M Finlay, G Rennix, Ruth Dalton (c), C Holmes, I Carmichael, L Withers, L Craig, K McIlwaine, D Henry.
