Larne went into this match as defending champions, they had also just wrapped up Qualifying 3 with 14 wins from 14 and they had beaten Limavady, who finished second in the league, on the three occasions they had met previously.
Their previous meetings had been close, and no one had written Limavady off, but I don’t thinks anyone saw this one coming as Limavady powered to a huge win scoring eight tries in the process.
The Roesiders started the game with strongly and were on the scoreboard after three minutes with Peter Wilson touching down after a break by Greg Jordan.
No conversion but Limavady added to their score shortly after with prop Clive Scott driving over from a lineout after a botched clearance from Larne.
The defending champions were in disarray and Limavady took full advantage with scrum-half Jamie Miller jinking through a soft defence for try no three.
