Match Action vs Linfield

HIGHLIGHTS from yesterday’s win against Linfield are now available to watch on the club’s official YouTube channel…

Coleraine would remain top of the Danske Bank Premiership after the 1-0 win against the reigning champions.

The Bannsiders made a bright start to proceedings and threatened early doors through Aaron Traynor, Ben Doherty and Eoin Bradley, but all three failed to break the deadlock.

On 20 minutes, Linfield almost grabbed the lead as a fantastic strike by Bastien Hery rattled the post with Chris Johns rooted to the spot, with Hery threatening once again before the break.

However, in a cagey second-half, the winner would arrive on 82 minutes as Jamie Glackin’s corner-kick was headed into his own net by Mark Stafford as Coleraine celebrated all three points.
