SCORELESS AT INVER PARK

Title challengers Larne and Crusaders drew a blank in a closely fought encounter at Inver Park.

Larne almost moved in front inside the opening 30 seconds after Shaun Want won the ball and sent over a cross for Paul O'Neill but he couldn't get a clean enough connection to trouble the goal.

Jordan Forsythe had Crusaders' first effort of note around the quarter-of-an-hour mark but he failed to trouble keeper Rohan Ferguson with a header from eight yards.

But Larne looked the more likely to find a way through as the game progressed, with Joe Thomson sending the ball just inches wide before, on the stroke of half time, Cian Bolger saw a header cleared off the line.

Chances were at a premium after the break, however, with the home side perhaps coming closest when Mark Randall attempted to send a backheel past Jonny Tuffey while, for the Crues, Paul Heatley snatched an effort just wide of the target.

Larne: Ferguson, Want, Sule, O’Neill, Bonis, Donnelly, Bolger, Thomson, Millar, Glynn, Cosgrove subs Pardington, Kelly, Watson, Randall, Gordon, Hughes, Banda

Crusaders: Tuffey, Burns, Hegarty, Lowry, Ebbe, Caddell, Forsythe, O’Rourke, Winchester, Larmour, Heatley subs Murphy, Weir, Lecky, Stewart, Owens, Thompson, Clarke
