OK ‘always expecting’ business

COLERAINE boss Oran Kearney spoke to the club’s media team after Saturday’s pre-season friendly win against H&W Welders…

The Bannsiders ran out 3-1 winners at a sun-drenched Showgrounds via goals from Ben Doherty, James McLaughlin and Stephen O’Donnell.

Kearney admits the conditions allowed for perfect preparation for the Europa League campaign and hopes that Jay Riley and Lewis Tosh learned from their experiences in the first-team squad.

The boss is hopeful that Jamie Glackin may play a part in the European schedule and believes that it will take until September for clubs to fully adapt to the extended transfer window.
