“It was extremely disappointing” – Skipper

COLERAINE skipper Stephen O’Donnell couldn’t hide his disappointment after the Bannsiders were knocked out by Crusaders in the Irish Cup…

A solitary goal from Paul Heatley would prove to be the difference as the Stripes failed to reach the second round of the competition.

O’Donnell – who lifted the famous trophy in 2018 – admits the result was “disappointing” and that he and his team mates didn’t do enough to win the game.

The ex-Institute ace insists the squad can’t “feel sorry for themselves” as they enter the post-split fixtures, starting with Cliftonville this weekend.
