CONOR Tourish was Man of the Match today as Institute stunned Irish League Premier Division leaders Coleraine at the Brandywell.

The Letterkenny man, who has already been rewarded with a new contract after a super start to his first season at the club, was a rock as ‘Stute won the derby 2-0.

Shaun Leppard and Gareth Brown netted the first-half goals as Institute won at home for the first time in the League this season.

Tourish led the way as the Waterside outfit caused a big upset and maintained their positive form under new boss Sean Connor

On 19 minutes, Leppard broke the deadlock when he fired high to the Coleraine net from a free by Carndonagh man Evan Tweed. 

Connor also included Ramelton’s Shane McNamee in his XI today.

Before the half-hour, Brown caught out Chris Johns, the Coleraine ‘keeper, from 45 yards to double the lead and put the hosts on their way to victory.
