McCready: ‘We knew it was going to be a tough game’

COLERAINE striker Joe McCready speaks after scoring against Ballinamallard as the Bannsiders claimed all three points at The Showgrounds…

The summer signing explained that the squad knew it was going to be a difficult game against the basement battlers and admits manager Oran Kearney calmed the players’ frustrations after a lacklustre first-half performance.

McCready was quick to heap praise on Josh Carson for his fantastic pass in the build-up to the Stripes doubling their advantage. The 27-year-old kept his cool and finished past Richard Brush for his 4th goal of the season.

Finally, the former Limavady marksman is relishing this weekend’s top of the table clash against Glenavon at Mourneview Park.
