Jody Tolan scored a second-half hat-trick as Coleraine got back to winning ways with as thumping 5-1 success away to Loughgall. The Bannsiders, who slipped to sixth in the IPL by losing at home to Institute last weekend, took the lead on 20 minutes through Barry Curran.
Clifford Sterritt equalised on 35 but Barry Johnston put Coleraine ahead again just before half-time.
It was a repeat result of Coleraine's last away match when they beat Larne.
Curran's opener had come after he ran on to a through ball from Barry Johnston to slot past keeper Marc Robinson.
Sterritt's equaliser was a similar goal as he latched on to a Brian Pentland pass to beat David O'Hare.
On 44 minutes Johnston cut inside defender Darragh Peden and although he scuffed his shot slightly it had enough power to beat Robinson.
Tolan got his first on 44 minutes, heading in from Stephen Beatty's cross.
He shot in further goals on 77 and 79 minutes to give Coleraine their third 5-1 away success of the season and complete a league double over last year's First Division champions.
