An afternoon to remember for Forum Sports client Matthew Shevlin as he came off the bench to score a perfect hat-trick — left foot, right foot, and a header — to help Coleraine progress into the quarter-finals of the Irish Cup.
The win, secured 4-1 in extra time, sets up the next round and continues a strong cup campaign for the Bannsiders. It was a classic Shevlin contribution: ruthless in front of goal, and clinical with three very different finishes inside a short window after his introduction.
Now well into his fifth season on the north coast and one of the NIFL’s most consistent strikers, Shevlin’s hat-trick was another reminder of why Coleraine remain a dangerous outfit on knockout days.
