Larne return to Inver Park on Tuesday night to face Limavady United in the Premiership, aiming to consolidate their position in the top three. The hosts come into the match on the back of a 2-1 comeback victory over Bangor last Friday.
They are 12 points behind leaders Coleraine FC but have a strong goal difference of plus eleven, having scored 20 times while conceding only nine. Their recent form has been mixed, with three wins and two losses from their last five outings.
Limavady United arrive in tenth place with 13 points. Their recent results include a 1-1 draw with Carrick Rangers and a 4-3 win over Annagh United. The last competitive meeting between these sides was in the Irish Cup in January 2025, when Limavady secured a 1-0 victory. Larne won the most recent league encounter back in 2018 by a 6-0 margin.
For Larne, the key will be building on the momentum from their last result. O'Neill and Doherty scored the decisive goals against Bangor in the second half, turning the game around after Ben Arthurs had given the hosts an early lead. O'Neill's strike in the 68th minute and Doherty's winner eleven minutes later showed the team's resilience.
The squad will be looking to improve a home record that saw them narrowly lose 2-1 to Linfield just last week. Tuesday's match kicks off at 7:45 PM at Inver Park.
