Clean sheets satisfy big G

COLERAINE TV spoke to Gareth McConaghie after the Bannsiders’ 0-0 draw against Linfield…

The defender insists the squad are happy to pick up a point at Windsor Park but believes all three were there for the taking as Chris Johns made a superb stop to deny Eoin Bradley late on.

The Dervock man highlighted the importance of keeping clean sheets as a foundation to build on and acknowledged that the players are lucky to be playing football during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 32-year-old admits that the body has taken “a bit of a battering” during the busy schedule but was appreciative of the club’s support during these unprecedented times.

Coleraine next face Carrick Rangers on Tuesday night and McConaghie knows it will be a tough game at the Belfast Loughshore Hotel Arena but one that they need to record maximum points from.
