Coleraine ready for Bangor City clash

COLERAINE continue their pre-season schedule with a fixture against Welsh outfit Bangor City (KO 1pm)…

Coleraine will continue their preparations for the Europa League qualifiers and the new season as they take on Bangor City at The Showgrounds.

The Bannsiders were defeated 5-0 in a behind closed doors friendly against Glasgow Rangers on Thursday, but will hope to gain momentum as they welcome the Welsh side to the Ballycastle Road.

The Citizens – who finished 4th in the Welsh Premier League last season and earned Europa League qualification by winning the play-offs – are managed by Kevin Nicholson, with former Premier League midfielder Gary Taylor-Fletcher the assistant manager at the club.

Gary Taylor-Fletcher is the assistant manager at the club, but also a member of the first-team squad.

The fixture will offer supporters the chance to see new signings Josh Carson, Aaron Traynor and Stephen O’Donnell in action for the first time following their moves to The Showgrounds.

Admission prices have been set for £8 adults and £5 for concessions.

As ever, those unable to attend can follow the latest developments via the club’s official Twitter account (@ColeraineFC).
