CRUES EDGE PAST COMRADES
Crusaders came from behind to get past Ballyclare Comrades at Dixon Park.
Ballyclare moved in front on 21 minutes after Cillin Gilmour met Michael Morgan's corner to send a looping header past Jonny Tuffey.
However the Crues levelled just a couple of minutes after that when Stewart Nixon tapped the ball home at the back post.
The visitors moved in front on 39 minutes when Liam Hassin sent the ball into his own net after attempting to reach keeper Gerard Walker with a back pass before, two minutes after that, Harry Franklin finished well to extend the Crues' advantage.
The Comrades almost pulled a goal back early in the second half after Morgan beat a number of defenders before hitting the bar from 20 yards.
Morgan then turned provider on 71 minutes with a corner which Gilmour finished off for his second in the game, but it wasn't enough to spark a late comeback for the home side.
