McKendry was ‘unplayable’, says Kearney

ORAN Kearney credited his players after they recovered from a goal down to beat Ballymena United at The Showgrounds…

The Sky Blues would take a 12th minute lead as Colin Coates headed in from Steven McCullough’s cross.

However, the Bannsiders would level at the break through Matthew Shevlin’s deadly finish before the marksman would get in on the act yet again after good work by Conor McKendry.

Kearney labelled McKendry’s performance as ‘unplayable’ and that he has the ability to be one of the best players in the league.

Coleraine face Loughgall away from home next week as the Stripes are the first visitors to Lakeview Park in the top flight since 2007, with Kearney believing this adds to the occasion for both clubs.
