Larne's post-split fixtures: Cliftonville (H), Saturday, 28 March, Coleraine (H), Tuesday, 7 April, Linfield (A), Saturday, 11 April, Glentoran (A), Friday, 17 April, Dungannon Swifts (H), Saturday, 25 April

Larne in pole position to win the Gibson Cup for a third time in four years as they currently hold a four-point lead over second-place Glentoran.

It is going to be a tough run-in for Gary Haveron's side, who meet Coleraine in successive games in the Irish Cup and in the league before that mammoth game at the Oval against Glentoran that could decide the destiny of the title.

The Inver side have only lost four league games all season and only one of those came against a fellow top six side - when they lost to Dungannon Swifts in October.

If they can continue to grind out big wins or ensure they at least do not lose, they should take full advantage of their pre-split head start and take home another title.
