| Carrick Rangers 3 Larne 2 | 06 Feb 10 |
A 78th minute goal from Darren McNamee ensured Carrick's second victory over Larne in the space of a week.
Carrick opened the scoring with a first half penalty scored by Darren McNamee after he was hauled down by Larne kepper Ryan Brown, McNamee cooly slotted the ball in the bottom corner. However Carrick's joy was short lived as Adam Dick capitalised on some poor Carrick defending, swinging the ball into the back of the net from a 25 yard free kick, catching almost everyone in the ground by surprise, especially Carrick's young keeper Ben Moane.
However on 44 minutes Carrick's one goal lead was restored with a sublime 12 yard header from Carrick forward Barry Bloomer scoring his 12th goal of the season.
The match remained competitive throughout and both teams battled hard in the second half ultimately resulting in Larne midfielder Rafferty poking the ball a matter of inches past the goal line to the ensure the score was settled once again.
Mark Craig thought that he had restored the lead for Carrick with a powerful header that looked destined for the bottom corner, that was until a fine save from Larne keeper Ryan Brown kept the game level to the disbelief of Craig and Carrick manager Stevie Small.
Although not to be out done, Darren McNamee ensured that he would claim all the plaudits with a fine drive past Ryan Brown to the delight of the Taylors Avenue faithful.
The game remained on a knife edge for the final few minutes of the game but it was Carrick who produced the goods on the day to guarantee a key win over their local rivals.
