Squad versatility pleases OK

COLERAINE manager Oran Kearney hailed his squad after they earned a 2-0 win against Carrick Rangers yesterday afternoon…

The Stripes would remain in third position in the Danske Bank Premiership as Aaron Traynor’s first-half strike was added to Alexander Gawne’s close range finish after the break.

Due to a number of injuries and suspensions, Kearney admitted his squad was down to the ‘skeleton’ but was pleased with the day’s work in East Antrim as a number of players proved their versatility.

The boss looks ahead to this weekend’s clash against Glenavon, as well as revealing that Ben Doherty’s injury might not be as bad as first feared.
