Institute hoping for change of luck in NW Cup clash at Limavady

by STEVEN DOHERTY

Despite playing well, Institute remain pointless in the IFA Championship and manager Kevin Deery is anxious to see his side’s luck take a turn for the better as they seek that first elusive victory against near neighbours Limavady United in their North West Cup semi-final clash at the Showgrounds tonight (kick off 7.45pm).

‘Stute have yet to score a goal under their new manager, suffering defeats to H&W Welders, Annagh United and Loughgall last weekend.

“I think we’ve been very unfortunate in all our games so far. We’re not carrying a lot of luck in front of goal even though were dominating games,' said Deery (pictured).

“We’ve worked really hard this last fortnight to keep everything upbeat.

“We played Annagh the week before last and we created six or seven very good chances but we couldn’t get our noses in front and they nicked one in the 87th minute, and they are sitting top of the league on nine points. “We’ll be looking for a wee bit more composure in the final third against Limavady.”

With Stephen O’Donnell suspended after being sent off against Loughgall last weekend, and despite having a full clean bill of health across the squad, Deery intends giving a few of his fringe players a run out against Limavady United.

New signings Shane McGinty and Ciaran Harkin are also expected to line out
