Tiernan Lynch insists Larne "have to embrace" where they are as they try to cope with a hectic schedule and the pressures at the top of the league.
The Invermen moved back to the summit following their 3-0 win over Glenavon on Friday night.
That was the first of four games in 11 days for Lynch's men, but he says he wouldn't have it any other way.

"We have a difficult couple of weeks coming up with four games in ten days or so," said the Larne boss ahead of tonight's trip to Dungannon Swifts.
"There's plenty to play for but I'd prefer to be here than in another part of the table, we have to embrace it and enjoy it.
"We can't ask any more of them in terms of work ethic, how they train and how they perform. We'll see where it takes us.
"We just want to be involved in it. Our job is to make sure we're in the mix and within touching distance, who knows what happens after that."
Leroy Millar bagged a brace in the win over the Lurgan Blues before being forced off with a knock, but Lynch was delighted to see him back on the score sheet again.
"Leroy was probably going through a bit of a lean patch and you saw it in his demeanour, he needed a goal," he said.
"I'm really pleased for him because he's just the most honest, hard-working kid in the world."
