Match Highlights vs Ballymena United

HIGHLIGHTS from the Bannsiders’ win against Ballymena United are now available to watch on the club’s official YouTube channel…

The Bannsiders would make it nine games unbeaten as Lyndon Kane’s superb strike sealed a 1-0 win against the Sky Blues at Warden Street.

After the hosts had a penalty appeal turned away, Coleraine would have the ball in the back of the net but Curtis Allen was adjudged to have handled James McLaughlin’s strike.

In a first-half of little chances, Lyndon Kane had to be alert to clear from Conor Keeley’s effort, with Gareth Deane also called into action to deny Shay McCartan from outside the box.

The visitors would have a second goal chalked off as McLaughlin was adjudged to have fouled the goalkeeper when heading the ball into the back of the net. However, on 62 minutes, the breakthrough was made as Kane swung home an effort with his unfavoured left foot.

There would be late drama as Sky Blues ‘keeper Jordan Williamson was dismissed for a robust challenge on Coleraine substitute Stewart Nixon.
