Strength in depth, pleases OK

COLERAINE boss Oran Kearney highlighted the options at his disposal after the Bannsiders’ 4-0 win against Dergview…

The Stripes eased their way into the second round of the BetMcLean League Cup as Evan McLaughlin (2), Michael McCrudden and Matthew Shevlin struck against their Championship counterparts.

Kearney remarked that he has a squad of 21 players who are all good enough to play, as well as being pleased to hand first starts of the season to Stephen O’Donnell, Jack O’Mahony and Michael McCrudden.

Coleraine make the trip to The Oval this Saturday and Kearney is expecting a stern test against the league leaders.
