Coleraine ready for Tennent's Irish Cup Final challenge

Coleraine manager Oran Kearney believes his side has what it takes to lift the Tennent's Irish Cup on Saturday. 

The Bannsiders face Linfield at the National Football Stadium at Windsor Park and Kearney reiterated that they'll need to focus on themselves rather than the newly crowned League Champions, he said: "League Champions or not they're a massive challenge. Week in and out they have been in every game we play them.

"We are under no illusions and we have to be on top of our game if we want to lift the cup. We have lots of strength and have had a good season. We are confident, we deserve to be here and we look forward to the challenge.

Kearney also thanked the fans for their support in the build up to Cup Final day and shared what it means to the town ahead of Saturday: "Everything. As you drive into Coleraine you can see all the flags and credit to the fans it's blue and white everywhere. The whole town, North Coast and area has really bought into the club being in the final."
