Conor’s Call

CONOR McKendry’s stunning solo strike against Glenavon has won the Sports Direct Goal of the Month competition for October…

The Coleraine man produced a sublime solo run before bursting the Glenavon net with a strike from distance. 

It’s the first time Sports Direct has sponsored the much sought-after monthly prize.

NIFWA Chair Michael Clarke said: “We’re delighted to have Sports Direct on board as sponsors of our Goal of the Month award.

“They have already made an impact on Irish League football since becoming sponsors of the Sports Direct Premiership, and we’re very much looking forward to working with them.” 

It marks a memorable month for Conor after he won the NIFWA Player of the Month for October, as well as the Fibrus Coleraine FC Player of the Month and the club’s own Goal of the Month competition.
