COLERAINE has cemented its position at the top of the South West District Football Netball League (SWDFNL) ladder with a hard-fought victory over second-placed Dartmoor at Silvester Oval on Saturday.

With the Maroons holding a four-point gap on the rest of the competition going into the match, victory would see Coleraine stretch that gap to eight points as coach, Ryan McClure, told his players in the lead up to the game to stick to what they have learned so far.
