Details
- The news came on the eve of Larne's crucial match against Glentoran for European qualification.

On the eve of their winner-takes-all duel with Glentoran in the fight for European qualification, it has been confirmed that Larne's Inver Park base will not host any continental action next season after failing a Fifa Pro Standard pitch test.
Gary Haveron's side need just a point from their Saturday evening showdown to book a return to the Uefa Conference League but, as was revealed in the Irish Football Association's licencing update on Friday, the Invermen have registered Ballymena Showgrounds as their home venue for this summer's European qualifying stages.
