David McDaid added the second nine minutes later as he fired home from a Marty Donnelly cross.

The in-form Donnelly added a third for Larne on 56 minutes curling home a great effort.

Kym Nelson pulled a goal back for the visitors just after the hour mark, but that was as good as it got for Colin Nixon’s side.
