Jamie McGonigle strikes in stoppage time as the Bannsiders leave the Bangor Fuels Arena with all three points
In what is starting to become a bit of a habit, Coleraine waited until the dying embers to decide their game with Ards. Substitute Jamie McGonigle scoring in stoppage time to record a 2-1 win for the Bannsiders.
Coleraine are beginning to look like the masters of the late show, a week earlier scoring two in four minutes in a draw against Ballymena The weekend before that, the Stripes pegged back Glenavon late on, again registering a 2-2 draw.
Saturday's result will certainly feel a little sweeter for Oran Kearney's men, this time claiming all three points with their late goal. His side have leapfrogged their opponents into fifth place.

Coleraine initially went ahead through a 65th minute Darren McAuley volley. Their lead wasn't to last long though with Joel McKinney levelling four minutes later with a header that was adjudged to have narrowly crossed the line.
Ards then found themselves reduced to ten men with 12 minutes ot go after Emmett Friars received a second yellow. Coleraine then found their stoppage-time winner after McGonigle beat Ards keeper Aaron Hogg to seal the points.
Next up for Coleraine is a league cup game with Knockbreda. Meanwhile, Ards will host Warrenpoint.
