Linfield closed the gap at the top of the Sports Direct Premiership with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Bangor at Clandeboye Park this afternoon.

Linfield suffered late heartbreak amidst a chaotic finish to this evening’s 1-1 draw against Coleraine at Windsor Park as the Blues finished with nine men.

Two months on from Linfield’s 6-1 win over H&W Welders in the Co. Antrim Shield at Windsor Park, the two teams met again this evening, only this time it was a different competition and different location as the Blues made the short trip to Blanchflower Park in the round of 16 in the Bet McLean...
It was very much a game of two halves tonight as champions Linfield and title-hopefuls Coleraine played out a 2-2 draw at The Showgrounds.

Linfield recorded a 3-0 victory over Bangor at Clandeboye Park last night courtesy of goals from Matthew Fitzpatrick, Kieran Offord and Chris McKee.
