LARNE FRUSTRATED AT INVER PARK
Larne had three goals disallowed and struck the woodwork as they had to settle for a scoreless draw in the East Antrim derby with Carrick Rangers.
Gary Haveron's side twice found the net in the scoreless first half, but both efforts were subsequently ruled out by the officials.
Their first, just before the half-hour mark, saw Cian Bolger head home at the back post from a Mark Randall delivery only for a push to be spotted thus wiping the 'goal' out.
Then while, a few minutes after that, Matthew Lusty knocked home the rebound from an Andy Ryan effort but this was also chalked off, this time for offside.
The deadlock might have been broken might through the second half after Aaron Donnelly had a go from 25 yards only for the crossbar to save Rangers while Ryan could only send the rebound wide.
Larne's luck continued to fail them later in proceedings after Conor McKendry - just on the pitch - struck an effort against an upright.
And, remarkably, they had yet another effort disallowed. On this occasion Bolger knocked on a Jordan McEneff corner and whilst keeper Ross Glendinning pushed the ball away it fell loose for Ryan to bundle over the line - but once again a flag was raised to scrub it out.
