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. Following Saturday’s 2-1 win over Ballymena United at Windsor Park, Blues boss David Healy made one change with Ethan McGee coming into the team in place of Kieran Offord in a...
Goals for defenders Euan East and Ben Hall ensured Linfield returned to winning ways with a 2-1 victory over Ballymena United at Windsor Park in the Sports Direct Premiership this afternoon.

Linfield’s eventual return to League action tonight was not worth the wait as the Blues suffered defeat to Portadown at Shamrock Park, an unwanted result on the 10th anniversary of David Healy’s first match in charge of Linfield. With six Irish League titles amongst a host of other trophies during David Healy’s reign as manager,...
Linfield recorded a 3-0 victory over Bangor at Clandeboye Park last night courtesy of goals from Matthew Fitzpatrick, Kieran Offord and Chris McKee.
