Larne boss Tiernan Lynch says some of the recent flak and heightened scrutiny he and his players have come under made him more determined to end the season on a high.
Questions were asked of Lynch, who has been at the helm since 2017, and the Inver Reds when a title challenge failed to materialise in the second half of the campaign.
Being dumped out of the Irish Cup in a penalty shootout by eventual finalists Ballymena United at the quarter-final stage in March also cranked up the pressure.
