Your weekly sports recap - In the shops now
Yet another busy week of sporting coverage is out now for all the local sporting events in your area.
IT’s that time of the week again when we deliver coverage across a range of different sports that happened across the Borough.
Starting from the back, Coleraine FC will host Portadown on Friday evening with all intentions on getting back into winning ways following Saturday night’s 3-0 defeat to Linfield at Windsor Park. The Causeway Coast and Glens Sports Awards is held this Friday evening to recognise the Boroughs sporting stars - which includes 80 nominations across 13 categories.
In our football section, we provide full coverage of the Coleraine vs Linfield match over the weekend that saw Linfield leapfrog the Bannsiders into the League leaders spot, but it is by a narrow one point - and if Friday nights results go in favour of Coleraine and for Ballymena who play Linfield, the Bannsiders will retake the lead. Portstewart had a lot of goings on this past week, with manager David McDaid signing a new two year deal, Jake Martin signing a pro contract, and Portstewart advancing into the Craig Memorial Cup Final.
A new U20’s Derry GAA manager was appointed. James McNicholl will now take the reigns over the U20’s going forward and his appointment comes just one month after vacating his job at Dungiven. Dunloy dethroned neighbours and rivals Loughgiel in the Final of the Ulster Senior Camgoie Club Championship. The opening affair was reported to be a tight affair with both sides exchanging blows early. But in the later stages of the day, Dunloy were able to hold on to secure the Provincial crown.
We have wrap up of recent golfing events that took place across Rathmore and Portstewart. Additionally, we will be adding Gracehill coverage to our editions. We have cricket, rugby amd North West 200 news all included inside this weeks paper.
