Wed, 14/08/2019 - 21:51

Coleraine U20 2-5 Glentoran U20

Glentoran 20s bounced back and got their season up and running this evening with three well earned points in Coleraine.

Cricky Gallagher opened the scoring with a sweet curling finish from 20 yards before James McCarthy powered in a header from a pin point Charlie Lindsay free kick.

Coleraine pulled the game back to 2-1 from the penalty spot but minutes later McCarthy was on the mark again, this time from a corner with a back post header for 3-1

On the stroke of half time Coleraine put the game back in the melting pot with a fine finish from a sweeping move for 3-2.

Coleraine started strongly in the second half but against the run of play Matty Lusty cut in from the right and fired in a super finish for 4-2.

That turned the game back in Glentoran's favour again and James McCarthy added his third and Glentoran's fifth with a scrambled finish for his first hat-trick at any level in a Glentoran shirt.
