Crusaders Reserves 1 Lisburn Distillery 2nds 1

Crues Reserves were held to a draw at home to Lisburn Distillery 2nds which included six players from J McCrory's U19 team. Crusaders had most of the play in a tight game with both defences in top form. Lisburn Distillery took the lead against the run of play when a long ball was not dealt with and the distillery No.8 volleyed home from 25 yards. Crusaders nearly equalised immediately when Boylan beat two defenders but Cowan shot wide from 12 yards. Quick thinking from Marks released Boylan but his shot was tipped wide for a corner from the opposing keeper.

The second half was mainly played in the Lisburn Distillery half with Sergeant in the Crusaders goal having a easy afternoon. Crusaders equalised when good play on the left by Turner released Collins and his pin point cross was superbly headed home from Magee. Substitute Rosati work space for himself but his shot from the edge of the box went wide. The hard working Boylan hit a drive from 25 yards which went narrowly missed.
