Paul Brown headed wide from a few yards out and Davy O'Hare made saves to deny George McMullan and Ronan Scannell.

David Scullion scored the opener with a glancing header from a Stephen Carson cross in the 31st minute.

Stephen Lowry nipped in ahead of Liam Fleming to touch in the second on 45 minutes and Chris Scannell and Scullion hit the woodwork after half-time.

The first chance of the game feel to Coleraine striker Paul Brown but he headed wide from a few yards out.

O'Hare saved from McMullan and palmed away a Ronan Scannell effort.

Stephen Carson was wide with his attempt but Scullion broke the deadlock with his third goal of the season soon after.

Lowry's goal secured the points and Chris Scannell was denied a penalty appeal before the interval.

After the break, Chris Scannell headed against the bar from a McMullan corner and then Scullion saw his effort strike the bar.

The result takes Coleraine off the bottom of the Premiership table.
