Right as raine for Rory

Rory Hale savoured a “great night” as Cliftonville made it two wins from two at the start of the Danske Bank Premiership season by seeing off Coleraine.

Joe Gormley’s header and a Stephen O’Donnell own goal put the Reds in command before Aaron Traynor’s consolation set up a nervy finish at Solitude, where the hosts had seen a first-half Gormley effort controversially ruled out for offside.

After the game, we caught up with midfielder Hale for his assessment of the game, the extended half-time break and a brief look ahead to Saturday’s contest with Glentoran.
