Coina Rovers FC

🟢Coina take home all 3 Points away to Portrush⚪️

John Lavery opened the scoring on the 7th minute capitalising on a Portrush mistake which was followed 13 minutes later when Mathew McAlynn got the ball at the halfway line taking it by 3 defenders before slotting it away for a perfect solo goal. A deflection from a Portrush free kick seen them pull one back but it wasn’t long before Michael Mullan added another through a brilliant header on the 25th minute. Captain Raymond Duggan stepped up to a free and riffled it into the bottom right leaving the keeper with no chance. 4-1 32nd minute.

Second half was a lot like the first having seeing Coina have a good bit of possession but a mistake in defence from the lads seen Portrush pull it back to a 2 goals deficit on the 85th minute but Jack McAllister gave them the response we needed and scored on the 86th to put the game to bed with Coina running out the rest of their bench in a comfortable win away in Portrush.

Special shoutout to Today’s MOTM Michael Mullan who put on a display in defence aswell as getting on the scoresheet.👏🏻

a Matty Bull Brace makes it 3 in 2 games and 3 points for The Coina on a wet and windy morning at Meadowbank. 🔥✅

The game started with the home outfit maintaining possession and playing with a strong breeze which caused constant dangers on the attack but it wasn’t until 10 minutes before Half Time when Matthew McAlynn capitalised on a keeper mistake and slotted the ball away. 1-0

Coina knew going in at half time with a 1-0 lead now against the breeze things could be difficult but it wasn’t long before new signing John Lavery ran in behind and lifted it over the top of the keeper. 2-0

Not long after our second Matthew McAlynn ran through the defence and perfectly chipped the keeper to leave us 3-0 up 10 minutes into the second half.

The next 5 minutes seen Heights drop 3 men with injury and a further red card seen the game called off on the 65th minute 3-0 to The Coina.

Man Of The Match today was Peadar Coyle who caused a constant threat down the left flank with overlapping and supporting runs, he is pictured with both goalscorers John Lavery and Matthew McAlynn.
