Larne FC is on the brink of securing the Irish Premiership title, as noted by Coleraine manager Ruaidhri Higgins. With Larne leading the league, Higgins acknowledges their strong position while emphasizing that the season is not yet over.
Larne’s Dominance in the Premiership
Currently, Larne is ten points ahead of second-placed Coleraine, having played one additional game. Higgins remarked on Larne’s impressive performance this season, stating, “They have one hand on the trophy.” Despite their dominant position, he believes that the unpredictability of football means that nothing is guaranteed.
Coleraine’s Strategy
Higgins is focused on ensuring that Coleraine stays competitive. He stated, “We can’t control what others do,” but expressed a desire for his team to capitalize on any potential slip-ups by Larne. Coleraine aims to maintain momentum in the league, with their eyes set on winning matches and making Larne earn their eventual title.
- Coleraine currently lies in second place.
- Ten points separate them from league leaders Larne.

Upcoming Match Against Crusaders

He stressed that his team would not be complacent and would treat Crusaders with the respect they deserve.
In conclusion, while Larne seems poised to clinch the Irish Premiership title, Coleraine remains determined to fight for every point. The excitement and uncertainty of the remaining fixtures promise an intriguing end to the season.
