JOSH JOY AT LUCKY STRIKE
Coleraine 1 Warrenpoint Town 0
JOSH CARSON’S goal straight from a corner proved decisive as Coleraine stayed on the coat tails of Crusaders.
Warrenpoint Town were proving dogged opponents before Carson’s, above, whipped delivery on the hour mark deceived goalkeeper Jonny Parr and ended up in the net.
Boss Oran Kearney said: “The first goal was always going to be crucial and it ended up taking something quite fortuitous to open the scoring.
“It had all the hallmarks of being one of those days, but I told the players to keep working hard and the luck will come. Credit to the boys for keeping going.” Fourth placed
secured a comfortable 3-0 win at
with goals from Achille Campion, Andy Waterworth (from the spot) and Stephen Lowry.
