Larne are through to the second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa Conference League after a night to remember at Inver Park.

Larne's Ronan Hale

Tiernan Lynch's side beat Bala Town 1-0 last night (Thursday) to progress with a 2-0 aggregate victory.

It was their first-ever win in European football.

And they were helped on their way by a stunning strike from Ronan Hale (above celebrating).

They will now meet Danish side Aarhus.

Elsewhere, there was disappointment for Coleraine and Glentoran.
