Larne have launched an appeal against the decision to award Newry City a win following their controversial JJB Sports Irish Cup clash.

The match in January was halted after 82 minutes after violent scenes involving players, managers and backroom staff from both clubs.

The IFA decided to award Newry a 2-1 win earlier this week.

Newry's meeting with Loughgall in the sixth round, which was scheduled for Saturday, has now been postponed.

Both clubs are still facing charges of bringing the game into disrepute.

The decision to allow Newry City to progress was taken on Monday, although the club was fined £800 for its role in the brawl.

Larne were fined £1200, with their player Anthony Lagan banned for the rest of the season.
