GAVIN CULLEN, Cockhill Celtic’s manager, is not letting his side rest on their laurels despite the ever-widening gap at the top of the 4 Lanterns Ulster Senior League.
Yesterday’s 2-1 win over Fanad United at Triagh-A-Loch opened up a five-point gap, with Cockhill having a game in a hand – which they play this Sunday against Finn Harps Reserves.
The four-in-a-row champions are a real force and already look likely winners again.
For Cullen, though, it was business as usual.

“We’ll have to approach the Harps game in the right manner.
“We do deserve to be in the position we’re in. It’s a tight League and teams are taking points off each other, but that will change.
[adrotate group=”80″]“That Fanad team will be thereabouts, Letterkenny are quality, Harps and Derry will get better. It’s too early to be looking at it.
“Points on the board are always an advantage. You can’t ask for much more, we’ve only dropped two points all year and we’ve had a great start.”
Garbhán Friel and Gerry Gill netted the goals for Cockhill yesterday to put them 2-0 ahead with John McGarvey’s injury time goal scant consolation for the home side.

“I felt that three points here would leave us in a nice position and we got that. We did it very well. We battled. For a young, footballing side, we showed the ugly side as well. I’m very proud of the players for that.”
