Larne owner Kenny Bruce had a smile on him as wide as the Irish Sea as he watched his team run out 2-1 winners against AGF Aarhus in the Europa Conference League second qualifying round, first leg.

The Inver Park outfit were excellent from start to finish against the Danish Superliga side, who struggled to get to grips with the hosts’ high intensity.

Roared on by a vociferous home support, Tiernan Lynch’s men were on it from the first whistle and broke the deadlock inside three minutes thanks to David McDaid’s predatory instincts.

Astonishingly, they doubled their advantage before the half hour as full-back Dean Jarvis headed home unmarked in the six-yard box.

Both goals led to wild celebrations from Bruce and the rest of the Larne faithful - and who could blame them as they seemed to be in dreamland.

They tried to press home their advantage in the second half but were hit by a late suckerpunch as Aarhus scrambled a consolation goal.

Lynch will be disappointed with the manner of the goal as they had restricted their opponents to very little on the night.
