Haveron 'delighted' with win over Coleraine

Larne manager Gary Haveron says his team were ''excellent from start to finish'' after they defeated Coleraine 2-1.

The cold north coast air didn't stop Leroy Millar from scoring his first goal of the season, before Sean Graham doubled their lead as half-time approached.

Matthew Shevlin got one back for Coleraine in stoppage time, but it wasn't enough to get anything from the game.

"I thought to a tee they carried out the game-plan to perfection," Haveron told BBC Sport NI.

"I thought they were excellent from start to finish and we rightfully got in ahead at two nil. If Conor's (McKendry) one had have sneaked into the bottom, it would've been the perfect first half performance.

"[We were] really secure at the back, really solid all over the park, and we were a constant threat on the counter attack. To come away with the three points, I'm absolutely delighted.''

Coleraine sat top of the league coming into this game, but this result means Larne overtake them to go first and two points clear despite Haveron commending Coleraine's "incredible" signings.

''We just look after ourselves and turn our attention to Dungannon, which is going to be a really difficult game,'' Haveron continued.

''If you look at the reinforcements they brought in, look at the amount of players they've signed, it's incredible.

''I never thought in the Irish League, you'd get to the point where people are getting the rewards of what they are. It's incredible so fair play to them.''
