The Crues finished the season with two of the four major honours with the County Antrim shield joining the Cup at Seaview.

But Clarke wants to see a title challenge from the Hatchetmen next term as they build on the momentum.

"It's important we build on this now," he said.

"We have a big squad, and I'm sure there will be a few more additions in the summer, so everyone will be fighting for the place.

"That's the benefit of having a big squad, competition levels are so high all year round, and they have to be, and it will be the same again next year!"
