Carrick shock Blues in friendly

David Jeffrey's side produced an unconvincing display at Carrick

Linfield's confidence ahead of the Champions League tie against Dinamo Zagreb took a hit when they were beaten 2-1 by Carrick Rangers on Tuesday.

Conor Downey put the Blues ahead in the 18th minute but two goals in first-half stoppage time by Robbie White earned Carrick a shock win in the friendly.

Peter Thompson hit the crossbar with a second-half penalty at Taylor's Avenue.

Linfield also hit the woodwork on a couple of other occasions but it was a unconvincing display by the Blues.

David Jeffrey's side face the Croats in the Champions League first qualifying round first leg at Windsor Park on 16 July.
