2008 squad shine at Loughgall Invitational

COLERAINE FC Academy 2008 squad impress at the Loughgall Invitational tournament on Sunday afternoon…

Coleraine 2008’s played in a six game invitational hosted by Loughgall on Sunday afternoon. The tournament was played on the new 4G facility in sunny conditions.

This represented Coleraine’s first preparation for the new season, and more importantly the first games under new head coach Stevie McCann.

The kids kicked on from their successful season last year ending the festival with victories in all their games against Portadown, Loughgall, Hillsborough Boys and Glenavon.

The fact that these kids kept clean sheets in all their games against such quality opposition was pleasing to the new coach. The kids played in a new formation today and their maturity and ability to adapt so quickly augurs well for the new season.
