Crusaders v Limavady
8/09/07
CRUSADERS 1 LIMAVADY UTD 0
Sun drenched conditions welcomed Limavady to Seaview but on this occasion
there was no plethora of goals as was in Limavady a couple of weeks ago.
But with only a minute on the clock Shannon got down to save well from
lively Limavady striker Curran, Martin Reilly nearly got the Crues in front
after four minutes but saw his effort sail just wide. Limavady were
certainly looking very lively and Shannon again came to the rescue when he
made another good save from Curran once again. In the 28 minute Reilly
brought the best out of Limavady keeper Millar when his low effort was
stopped on the line. With half time beckoning the Crues stepped up a gear
and it was Rainey who fairly rattled the upright with a great shot with the
keeper well beaten, Morrow a minute later shot from 25 yards but saw his
shot whistle over the top.
The second half saw both sides prompting and probing with neither troubling
the keepers and with the introduction of McAllister to the right wing
Crusaders were beginning to look a lot more purposeful. And with five
minutes remaining McAllister beat a couple of defenders and shot for goal
which was blocked, but the ball rebounded to Rainey who took his time and
placed a fine left foot shot to the top corner giving Millar no chance in
the Limavady goal.
Not a great game but a game which was always interesting and it now sees the
Crues progress to the quarter final stage against either Portadown or Newry
City their group will not be decided until next round of fixtures next
weekend.
