Spartak 0, Larkview 2
Visitors Larkview clinched the league title with a hard earned win. The Sky Blues played well, and it was only when the home side was reduced to nine men that the victory was assured for the visitors.
Mid way though the second period Sean Doyle handled a goal bound shot on the line; the ultimate sanction was applied, and a red card and the penalty converted left Spartak with an uphill task. The dismissal of Stephen Barr, for a second yellow, finished the game as a contest, with Larkview adding the second from a header following a flag kick late on.
In the first half a Doyle volley had rattled the bar and Steve Walsh and Neil McGowan, until his withdrawal with a hamstring injury, caused Larkview plenty of problems.
Dave Browne had one of his best games for the club, while Fergus Burke covered plenty of ground in the middle of the park.
A spirited display overall by the Sky Blues, against the best team in the league, but to no avail.
