SAMMY Morrow would be a super sub as his strike sealed a 2-1 win against Portadown back in September 2015…

Date:

Saturday, September 26, 2015

Result:

Portadown 1-2 Coleraine

Goals – McMahon (‘8 mins); McLaughlin (’71 mins) & Morrow (’88 mins)

Report:

Fourth-placed Coleraine came from behind to beat Portadown 2-1 in the Premiership clash at Shamrock Park.

Former Portadown midfielder Neil McCafferty struck the top of the hosts’ cvrossbar from a free-kick.

Jamie McLaughlin levelled for Coleraine with a low 71st minute shot and fellow sub Sammy Morrow coolly slotted in the winner three minutes from the end.

Coleraine’s Sammy Morrow: “We had been well on top when we went 1-0 down, but we responded in a brilliant manner.

“The youth and exuberance in our squad is great and we can go for the 90 minutes.

“At the start of the season we felt we could achieve a top six finish.

“But the league tends to take shape around Christmas, so we will evaluate things later in the season.”
