‘A week of sharpening ahead’ – OK

ORAN Kearney acknowledged it’s been ‘a frustrating few weeks’ for his side after ending the Danske Bank Premiership campaign with a win against Larne…

A brace from Matthew Shevlin and Jamie Glackin’s late effort sealed a 3-0 win against the league champions at The Showgrounds.

Kearney remarked the post-split schedule meant he has had to ‘take a hit’ in terms of resting players and giving minutes to those who need it ahead of the European play-offs.

The Stripes were able to give game time to Stephen Lowry and Jamie Glackin with Kearney also commenting on Matthew Shevlin ending as the league’s top goalscorer.
