They say the best team always win the league and Larne's stats prove it.
The Invermen will get their hands on the Gibson Cup on Friday night after their game against Linfield.
Captain Tomas Cosgrove will lift the famous trophy to kick-start the celebrations, although the champagne has been flowing since the club secured the title with last Friday's win over Crusaders.

Larne have been the standout team this season - they have won the most games, lost the fewest, and their goals against record is the best in the league.
Tiernan Lynch's men conceded just 18 goals in the Premiership, compared to Linfield (26), Glentoran (27), Coleraine (36), Crusaders (40) and Cliftonville (48).
Their post-split record has been emphatic, with three successive 2-0 wins (over Glentoran, Cliftonville and Crusaders respectively) easing them to their title.
Indeed, Lynch's side haven't conceded a goal in their last six league games.
Club owner Kenny Bruce says that resilience and teak-tough defence is a key reason behind Larne's Gibbo success.
He said on Twitter: "The day has arrived where this special group of players will lift the Gibson Cup at Inver Park.
"What an incredible Larne team they are, 0 goals conceded in the last 5 games, 3 goals conceded in the last 15, 10 goals conceded in the last 25 and remarkably only 18 in 36."
Former Irish League midfielder Gary Peebles added: "Yes, fantastic achievement for a provincial club. The Irish League is so much better for the improvement in clubs outwith the regular league winners. Enjoy your night. Very well deserved."
Ex-footballer and current horse trainer Mick Quinn added his congrats:
And Stevo said: "Always humble Kenny! We all have you to thank for your investment & vision! You’ve made a town proud! But not forgetting the Chairman, General Manager, and the team in the background and of course Tiernan and the team! What a day to be heading to Inver Park."
It promises to be a special night at Inver Park...
