- I visited Larne Football Club's Inver Park to witness them win their first ever NIFL Premiership title!
In this match they took on Linfield (the former champions) and they'll be playing Champions League football next season. Just a few years ago they were part time.

How far can Larne go?
Will get knocked out don't have the squad & will be up against the big boys of European football
Thanks so much for visiting larne it means the world
Win the final 5-0
In the group stage,good friend Sam!!!🏋♂️
All the way
How can one man do more for lower level football than Sky, BBC, BT and all the rest combined? Well done mate and thanks. Linfield will be back to win it next year!!!!😊
first time a team outside of Belfast has won the Premiership since 2002 when Portadown were champions.
Congrats and happy retirement to Jeff Hughes , one of Tranmere 10 heroes who got us back inEFL at Wembley 5 years ago before going to his home town club.
100% agree.
You should come to a match next year to Loughgall. Village team from County Armagh got promoted from Championship and the running joke is that when the team is all training together they are representing more than 10% of the population so you can imagine how small a place it is.
I love these kinds of stories. They’re always so nice to hear about
It only took them a millionaire owner to get out of the lower leagues
Love Sam's videos, he's done a better job at promoting our clubs and leagues than the local media, IFA and NIFL have.
Class video mate.
Larne founded same year as my team, Sheffield United.
Congrats to the club, well done to all.
1889 I believe? Great year for football 👏🏼
@@FootyAdventures Yep 1889
Was at the game myself although not at the celebrating end. Congratulations to Larne they were the best team. First team outside Belfast for 22 years to win it. It will be great therefore for Irish League football and an encouragement for other provincial towns. To be a great side they have to come back and do it again. I think they can though and it will increase the competition in the league. Well done Larne.
Ironic that Larne are the first team outside of Belfast to win the league since we (Portadown) won it and they were relegated from the league at the weekend FTIFA/NIFL 🔴⚪🔴⚪
Another really enjoyable vlog. Great to see the Irish league so positively promoted. Well done to you and Larne.
Thanks for covering us Sam another class video and great speaking to you
Well done larne from a coleraine fan 👌🏻.. those who spout about money won it this & that just the way Linfield had an advantage over all for years
Linfield get a hefty chunk of money from the national side.
@@nwood7919 it's called 'Rent'

'Rent' or being sponsored by the IFA
WE HATE COLERAINE UP THE SKY BLUES
Great vid Sam. What a ferry crossing! Beautiful weather.
Very historic for Larne and Northern Irish football.
Yeah. Larne. It's like Leicester winning the premier league.
Been watching your channel for a few years and sometimes I feel I want to be a fan of every club you go to.
I remember coaching up at Newington from Larne almost 8 years ago now. We trained at The Cliff, back then it wasn't fully under Larne's control, it was still a community football hub. I was lucky enough to go up a few weeks back and see the difference of the training facility now. What Larne has brought to that area is absolutely incredible.
Brilliant atmosphere
Woooow!!!This is an extremely so fantastically massive achievement by one of my favourites ever Larne as they have qualified for next season's UEFA Champions League as the new champions of the Northern Irish Premier League,good friends!!!LONG LIVE LARNE!!!🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️
I think it was great to see Linfield applauding Larne on to the park a fantastic show of respect and sportsmanship and should done in every league no matter if the winners are your biggest rivals or mean nothing to your team sportsmanship costs nothing
Been waiting for this since you mentioned it on the flight the other day! Was good to see you onboard and to have a chat about footy! hope the coffee and chocolate helped with the editing mate
Great to meet you on the flight mate. And yeah thanks so much for that! It was really appreciated and helped a lot after a long few days!
Hopefully catch you again soon!
Amazing work as usual Sam. Thanks for showing off our leauge and teams , it's only going to get bigger and better 👏👏
The introduction for larne in the 12 stadiums video sums up the achievement. Refreshing to see
Tiernan Lynch -> Cliftonville 🤞
Sam just went full Partridge in the Hotel toom 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for coming to our little town to join in our festivities! You'll always be welcome at Inver Park, wee Larne champions 😁😁😁🇬🇧
I know I shouldn't, but I have to ask... Are the club's supporters called "Larne-atics?" Good on you for bringing this kind of story to light. In this day and age of "Moneyball", it's good to see the little guy put one over on the big boys every now and then. Here's to them being matched w/ Man City or Arsenal in the Champions League next season for a big payday. Can you imagine the crowd at Inver Park for a match like that?
Harbour Rats, I kid you not!
They have the backing of the creator of Purple Bricks, the online estate agent who hails from the town. He's done this for the love of the town, not to get rich. He's spent most of his money redeveloping the ground, not on the team. Fair play to them and they won't end up a Jack Walker, Blackburn Rovers type team as the league is minor and European money will support the club.
They'll have to use the National Stadium for group stages but will be able to host preliminary rounds. Getting through 1 stage of the CL means an almost certain play-off place for Europa League. Get into that and they are quids in.
Good luck to them for next season, but not too much as I want my own team Glentoran to win something for once.
@@GlentoranMark I saw that "Harbour Rats" sign at the ground... pretty damn funny. I guess my half-hearted attempt at a pun didn't go over so well. Question for you: Is Glentoran-Linfield the biggest match of the Northern Ireland calendar?
@@stefanschwalenberg8320, yes and by a long shot. The game is known as the Belclassico an attracts 6k at the Oval (ground capacity) and 10k at the National Stadium (18k capacity). Crowds have increased year-on-year in the IL and the derby is only growing in numbers.
Morgan Day happened exactly 18 years ago today (Sunday 23/04/2005) when this happened in the last minute of the game: ua-cam.com/video/LSNMceYFzKA/v-deo.html
There was 15k attendance, before health and safety ruined it for everyone and then this happened: ua-cam.com/video/LSNMceYFzKA/v-deo.html
It's not about religion when Glentoran and Linfield play, it's a pure hatred.
@GlentoranMark not 1 game in the IPL is secterian
Hahaha you're definitely firing the flames at the Irish Cup if you come over 😂 Good to finally meet you yesterday Sam. I'll get you down to Grove United some Saturday you're in Belfast 👌
Yet another great video mate. Absolutely love the fact yes you visit the likes of Celtic park but more importantly the small ,the forgotten clubs, the weird strange and unique old stadiums around the country and the all-round info you include. Thank you keep up the great work bro Hail Hail
Connahs Quay Nomads, Wales did this - think you should consider doing the Cymru Premier next year, the league could really do with the added exposure.
I'm Northern Irish and love his coverage of our league but we (Glentoran) played TNS in the Europa League 2 seasons ago and I did a bit of ground hopping while I was there. I didn't see any football but I got a warm welcome at Rhyl FC and walked around the ground. I love my wee team and league and just wish they had the same passion in Wales. There's as many travel to England and Scotland every week chasing glory but there's something special following the minnows of Europe. Support your local side, it's the only way things will improve.
Larne are now on my hate list but in all honesty I was chuffed to bits they won it because we couldn't. Fair play to the owner (Kenny Bruce who created Purple Bricks), he's invested in something he loves, he's totally revamped the ground and put the town on the map, I've nothing but admiration for him.
@GlentoranMark you'll always get a good welcome at sunny rhyl🌞👍⚽️
Was there last night, incredible atmosphere! Larne can go as far, as the players will take them, got a great squad put together! Let’s see who we draw and go from there! 🙌
Unbelievable night there and it was great to have you over mate! Might see you back for the champions league nights👀 haha Keep up the hard work 🍻
Top class as always mate 👍
Good luck this evening away to hjk,, . Great timing to watch video. Hope you have enough to get through all the best , carlisle , uk.
Great job cheers from Tasmania
I’ve been looking forward for you doing Larne and exposing their success to the world,…stories like this is why we all love football,…if it wasn’t for my dodgy knee…😊
Proudest moment in football!!!!! Best night ever and great vlog as always #rawaforever
I was at Eindhoven when Boro played Sevilla in the UEFA Cup Final in 2006. The Dutch Police were GREAT, so friendly & efficient, and could certainly teach the Police in Rome a thing or two (maybe they had a lot of Roma fans and Boro knocked Roma out of the competition!). "Schtaay cool! Have a great day!"
I THOUGHT I had posted this to your video of the NAC Breda v Willems II derby match (the one called off after 73 minutes). SORRY...! This was also a good video. Good Luck to Larne.
There's no welcome like an Irish welcome, even a Northern one.
You should look into going to the Irish Cup Final in Belfast on 7th May, a rematch between Crusaders and Ballymena United who contested last year's cup final. Last season, Ballymena were 1-0 going into stoppage time - Crusaders scored in the last minute of the match to take it to E.T. and scored the winner in E.T. stoppage time! Declan Caddell played his "last" game for Crusaders that day, but had to come out of retirement to help the team out earlier this season - and it was his goal that won the semi-final for Crusaders to take them to the final. What a story!
Really enjoying your videos btw. Great channel!
In Sweden last season BK häcken won the league for the first time in their history.
Congrats on getting an interview with Mr Bruce. I am from NI and it is the first time I have seen him being interviewed.
Another really good videos & a great story of Larne, P&O and Border biscuits!
I used to have a friend who lived in Larne and went to a couple of games a few years ago. About 100 attendance. He was resigned to the fact that they weren’t getting out of the Championship as the ground wasn’t up to the standard needed. How times have changed for them.
I remember Glentoran beating them 9 and if you didn't score more than 5 it was a bad result. The pitch ran down a slope, the ground was a dump. Larne supporters actually watched on the carriageway to save the admission fee.
How times have changed and what an owner who has the club and the town as his best interests. They are now guaranteed £1+ from Europe which will sustain the full-time set-up for a season or 2.
@@GlentoranMark ironic a Glens fan calling our old ground a "dump" which it probably was though the "oval" even after your investment is still a dump.
Only person I've ever seen excited to visit Larne
Hello mate, me and my brother got speaking to you before the game. Thanks for coming to our humble town. Was a great night and was great to see the turn out.
Guaranteed this will be 🔥 favourite channel
Hero Bobby, thanks for all the support lately. Doesn't go unnoticed!
@@FootyAdventures Thanks mate just saying what I see 🤝
Went to Larne once
I got bit by a Staffy
Got punched when waiting on a Donner Chips and
Cheese by some drunk bloke in a Mizuno tracksuit
Woke up in a Jeremy Kyle style council estate with a woman who had no teeth making me breakfast thanking me for a night of passion
To top it off I got Crabs.
Would I got back? Absolutely
During the 142 years of the Irish Football Association, there have only ever been 5 teams to win the Irish League from outside Belfast & Larne makes it 6
I count larne as 7th maybe Wikipedia is wrong🤷🏼♂️
@@Sleepywhispers79 Depending on how you class Lisburn there is 7
@@becca1927
Glenavon,Portadown,Coleraine,Lisburn distillery,Ards,Derry city,Larne... According to Wikipedia... I'm glad you's won it and hope you's keep on winning it to keep the IFA sponsored teams from winning it... So made up for Lee Bonis as well (forever a port ) 🔴⚪🔴⚪
@@Sleepywhispers79 Lisburn is Greater Belfast, Distillery was originally formed and played in Belfast at Grosvenor Park until 1971 when they adopted the Lisburn Distillery
@@becca1927
I think I remember them being called Belfast distillery or distillery so Wikipedia is wrong, anyways Congratulations to you's long may it continue 🎉🎉
Best moment of the video was when Linfield, winners of 100 League & FA Cup trophies were the honourable guards for Larne, winning their 1st ever title!
I love your channel, you are one of the nicest you-tubers out there. You should do a video about The All Ireland Final which is held in Croke Park in Dublin. Croke Park is the 3rd largest Football stadium in Europe. Keep up the good work.
Not football
Definitely unique. Hope we , Shamrock Rovers, get Larne in Europe .
Been watching ur content for a while lad, you are great for our Scottish football. Just got back from the Celtic game
cant wait for the next video enjoyed meeting you again (from the kilmarnock ayr game)
That handbrake pull at the start Ooft lol
Thank you Sam, great coverage
Awwww that handbrake crunch
You have to go to Poland - in several days Raków Częstochowa will win the championship for the first time in their history.
I had them win the NIFL Premiership in FM23, and I was amazed someone not named Linfield won. Turns out it is well deserved in real life too! A FM's dream
Would be a great club to build a dynasty with on FM!
The 5 hour coach journey between Glasgow and Northen Ireland,via Donald Trumps,Turnberry golf course and the ferry, is one of the most spectacular coach trips in the world!
«The world»😭😭💀
Aye the world
Lol
And also one of the worst in terms of embarrassment. Footy not paramilitary
Agreed. The natural beauty of that region is amazing, this is coming from someone who lives on the other side of the world.
I support larne rivals but this video is awesome, well done
Nice one Sam Top vid fecking luv this shit 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪✌️🔰🔰🔰
Every league champion in Scotland , England , Wales , Northern Ireland and the Rep. of Ireland is the team with the biggest budget .
Another great wee video. Good luck with your burgeoning career 👍
Congratulations Larne.Great to see.Have kept an eye on the club for several seasons now in Australia. Never cared for the sectarian stuff .On the up and up.From a Celtic man married to a Rangers lass😂😂😂
I didnt even know you where at inver park Sam. I was in the church end bouncing what a night. If i knew you were there I would of said hello I love your videos especialy loved your northern irish stadium tour video. What a party that was last night so proud to be a Larne fan. Sadly weve still to win the irish cup and irish league cup 😞. Next time your at inver il have to say hello.
You should do a Latin American tour. I've been to some games in Colombia and Brazil, fun times. Might be a little different with the camera and language barrier but you could make it work especially if you met up with a subscriber from those areas
Everyone needs an Irish team.
So glad you dod Larne!
Thanks P&O the same P&O that laid off loads off staff to get cheaper labour that same company ??
Already know it will be a W video
Sam love the channel you should go to tynecastle for one of or matches
Outstanding 👏🏽
Excellent story. Good luck to Larne FC in the future, from a lifelong Man United fan of 50 years. Keep up the good work lads.
another cracking video Sam
Been waiting for this since i saw u right infront of me 😂 what a night
Came too early, story of my life 👏🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Love the ship on Larne badge
Can I look forward to a visit to the Brechin game? 😀
When are you posting the Renfrew game
What a beautiful trophy.
Well done lads
3:50 Was that David Icke behind you on the ferry?
Great vid Sam, Linfield might just have a rival on and off the pitch, instead of all these other wee clubs crying about money etc, get off yer arses and support and build the way Mr Bruce has.
They played against my local in a preseason friendly 6 years ago who currently sit 4 leagues below premiership
15:34 That's my dad 😂😅
Live in NI and watch a little bit of local football, Leeroy Millar still should get a chance at an English club IMO.
Hopefully you come back to northern ireland or stay in northern ireland and go to the Cliftonvile v linfield match next weekend.
Did u go to the Buckie thistle game
Great video, great fans and a nice small stadium. But Champions League? Well the Cap now is around 3200. They need 8000 seats to play in the Champions league. If they qualify they most likely have to play in Belfast.
We aren't going to qualify for the Champions League Group stages and nobody would expect Larne to qualify for them.But if they can keep that squad of players together and add another few good signings in the summer then they are well capable of becoming the 1st Irish League team to qualify for a European group stage in the UEFA Conference League.They beat AGF Aarhus and Pacos de Ferreira in the Conference League a couple of years ago in the qualifying rounds with a far worse squad of players than what's there now
@@neilmcilwrath5951 Great. But if you qualify for Europa League or Conf League group stage, you still need 8000 seats I belive.
@Erik S. Lundestad I'm not honestly sure to be fair.We will just have to wait and see I guess
Yes, they will likely play at the National Stadium if they get to the group stages. I'm sure the Larne supporters wouldn't mind with the £10m or so for getting there. I'd even say Kenny Bruce would pay for the buses for the fans.
@@GlentoranMark Yes 👍
Really hope you made it to the Buckie v Brechin game, looked like it was a cracker
Bits and Pieces had to be played at a northern Irish celebration lol
Let's not forget when P&O made redundant it's entire staff with no notice.
Singing "Campeones, Campeones" in any other country than Spain is really odd 🙄😂
Sung by every league champion in most leagues around the world not odd at all
Claro, porque tu eres muy ejpañol y mucho ejpañol..ñ
FYI, you should avoid P&O if at all possible, they fired most of their staff with no notice about a year ago to replace them with cheaper foreign workers. I refuse to use them ever again even though I used their service frequently.
Disgusting company
Come to Exeter City next season ❤
wow
How was the maybole game
oh i can see me
Thanks to founders of purple bricks
I know its great isn't it, thanks for recognising that! #rawaforever
@rawaforever1492 rather have them than the same old one team backed by the local football association winning it every year
Yeooo sup it’s meee
strange how players singing 'championies... are we are we are we' , changed to 'away away away' (which means nothing) and now seems to be 'ole ole ole'?!?!?!
It's always been ole ole ole
Could do with some subtitles for yer man 🤣🤣
I’m glad you think a company so much for a couple of pound to fired all of the staff who work in the United Kingdom. I hope your £20 sponsorship and your free hotel stay was worth it.
