Dean Jarvis relishing the excitement of Coleraine's 'cup final' run

Dean Jarvis says Coleraine have eleven cup finals left from now until the end of the season.

The full back heads to Crusaders this afternoon for Coleraine's first of ten league games remaining and then there's the small matter of the BetMcClean League Cup final against Linfield on march 12.

Silverware and European qualification is very much the target for the Bannsiders and Jarvis, who has been impressive since his summer switch from Larne, has set his sights on picking up as many wins as possible.

"With the split coming up now, it's cup finals every week," said the for Derry City defender.

"There is going to be points dropped between all the teams, but hopefully we get three points every week in the split."

Jarvis bagged his second goal of the season in last Saturday's 2-2 draw with Glentoran.

The left back put the Bannsiders in front after Matthew Shevlin's early penalty miss.

But it looked like a first defeat since November 9th for Oran Kearney's men as an Aaron Jarvis own goal and Conor McMenamin's stunner put the Glens in front late on.

But Coleraine kept going with Shevlin notching a last-gasp equaliser much to Jarvis' delight.

"After Conor scored to make it 2-1 we thought wasn't maybe gonna be our day as we had a good few chances ourselves a couple of minutes before it," he said.

"But it just shows the resilience in the team.

"You saw it in those couple of games against Cliftonville, we don't stop, never say die, so we were happy enough with the point."

Jarvis has made a big impact at The Showgrounds but the club has also made a big impression on him.

"I'm loving my time at Coleraine - the place is class," he said.

"It's a great club, all the people around it.

"I'm loving playing with all the boys - they're a great bunch in there so long may it continue."
