Larne ..... (1)2 .... Linfield ..... (0)0
Inver Park has a new hero!
Big money signing Lee Bonis repaid a sizeable chunk of that much talked-about transfer fee last night as his double sunk Linfield without trace in last night’s Irish Cup tie of the 2nd round.
The former Portadown striker looked anything but overpriced as he proved too much of a handful for Linfield throughout the game.
Bonis scored early, in the 13th minute, reacting miles quicker than Linfield’s static defence which watched on as Andrew Scott fired in a long-ranger. Johns, perhaps surprised by the power, could only parry into the path of Bonis, whose finish was as clinical as it was instinctive.
