Fast start helped

COLERAINE boss Oran Kearney hailed his side’s fast start as they defeated Dungannon Swifts at The Showgrounds…

The hosts would find themselves two goals to the good after just eleven minutes as Matthew Shevlin fired home from close range, before Conor McDermott opened his account for the club with a delightful left-foot strike.

Kearney spoke about those two goals in isolation and how he would have liked to have seen his side grab a third to kill the game off.

The boss remarked that his side are looking what a Coleraine team should look like as they banked their fourth clean sheet in a row.

Coleraine face Cliftonville on Tuesday night in the semi-final of the BetMcLean Cup as the Stripes eye their third successive final.
