Larne RFC 1st XV win at home to Lurgan RFC I XV

Larne welcomed Lurgan to the Glynn on Saturday for their second meeting in the Q3 League.

With Larne having already been lucky to beat Lurgan twice away from home earlier in the season, it felt like the visitors were due their turn.

They started the game at a ferocious pace in both attack and defence, bringing a physicality to the match which Larne had rarely seen all season. Although the home side had much of the ball in the opening stages, they could do little with it playing into a strong wind and defence.

It was not long before Lurgan used the elements to their advantage and pinned Larne deep in their own half. After an onslaught from the strong Lurgan pack, the Larne defences were finally breached to allow their quick 13 to score under the posts………… CLICK HERE for the report.
