TOURE HITS LATE GLENAVON EQUALISER
Glenavon hit back in added time to earn a point from their trip to Inver Park to face Larne.
The home side needed just nine minutes to seize the advantage after an Andy Ryan free-kick was blocked only for the rebound to fall for Tiarnan O'Connor to finish low past keeper Tadhg Ryan.
Larne could have doubled their lead midway through the first half but Ryan could only fire over the top after being teed up by Jordan McEneff.
O'Connor might have grabbed his second of the evening not long after the interval when he tried to make the most of a sliced clearance but his effort ended up only in the side netting.
But as the game progressed Glenavon started to press more in search of the equaliser, with David McDaid seeing an effort from the edge of the area dipping before being turned away for a corner.
Harry Murphy then threatened was a header which Rohan Ferguson instinctively parried to safety - and the home keeper followed that up with another great stop to thwart Michael O'Connor's 30-yard drive that looked destined for the bottom corner.
And still Glenavon pressed, with Ferguson denying Len O'Sullivan's strike from distance before, late in the game, Christopher Atherton couldn't keep the ball on target when a Paul McGovern shot was parried into his path.
However the visitors did grab their deserved equaliser one minute into added time when David Toure was quickest to react when Ferguson once again denied an initial effort, on this occasion a diving save from Murphy, before the ball fell loose again.
