Harkin nets late cracker as Finn Harps defeat Crusaders in friendly

written by Chris McNulty July 25, 2020

GARETH Harkin hit the only goal of the game today as Finn Harps defeated Crusaders in a friendly.

Seven days ahead of the resumption of the 2020 League of Ireland season – when Harps face Shamrock Rovers in Tallaght – Ollie Horgan’s men headed for Seaview this morning for an 11am kick-off.

Harkin fired home a cracking goal in the dying moments of the game in what was a useful workout for the Donegal side.

Harps’ first home game is scheduled for Tuesday-week, August 4, against Shelbourne.

Full-back Shaun Kelly will not be part of Horgan’s plans with the Killybegs man having left the club due to persistent knee problems, while a hamstring injury is set to rule attacker Cameron Saul out of the reckoning.
