Kearney pleased to find winning formula

COLERAINE manager Oran Kearney shared his views on the Bannsiders’ 4-2 win over Linfield on Saturday afternoon…

The Stripes held a 2-0 lead at half-time as Ben Doherty hit the net after just 14 seconds, before Ryan McGivern scored an own goal.

A third goal arrived on 61 minutes as Stephen O’Donnell headed home from Doherty’s free-kick, but Linfield rallied and netted twice within a matter of matters to reduce the arrears to a single goal.

However, the three points were secured on 90 minutes as Emmett McGuckin seized upon a poor back pass to round Rohan Ferguson and slot into an empty net.

Kearney discussed the performance of Eoin Bradley, the busy week which yielded five points from our opening three matches, as well as the fixture going ahead despite Linfield’s Europa League commitments.
