Larne enjoys '˜unbelievable turnout' for Christmas switch on
Players from the Inver Park club, currently leading the Bluefin Sport Championship, had the honour of starting the official countdown to Christmas in the port town on Friday evening.
There was added sparkle to the occasion with Mid and East Antrim Borough Council teaming up with the Department for Communities to deliver new lights “to revitalise” the town centre and “help guide shoppers to the fantastic independent and high street retailers”.
