Larne secure first league victory against Glentoran at Inver Park
Summary

Larne defeated Glentoran 2-1 at Inver Park on September 4 to record their first league win of the current Irish Premiership season. The victory comes after a delayed start to the domestic campaign caused by the club's European commitments. Sean Graham opened the scoring early in the second half, and Matty Lusty added a second goal for the hosts in the 72nd minute. Glentoran managed a late response through an Aaron McEneff penalty, but the visitors were unable to find an equalizer before the final whistle. This result marks the second consecutive league defeat for Glentoran, who currently have three losses in their opening five matches. The match saw a debut for Glentoran signing Conor McMenamin, while referee Tony Clarke cautioned three Glentoran players during the opening period.
