CRUES STRIKE WITH LATE WINNER
Crusaders Strikers bagged a stoppage time winner to narrowly defeat Lisburn Ladies at the Bluebell Stadium.
The sides traded chances during the opening exchanges with Emily Reid firing just over for the Crues from the edge of the area while, at the other end, a Stacey Murdough effort met with a similar outcome.
Cora Morgan came closest to breaking the deadlock for the visitors in the first half with a thunderous effort from distance only for the ball to crash back off the crossbar.
But the winner came deep into added time when, on 95 minutes, Rebecca Mann played the ball across the face of goal, Niamh Hassan cut it back and Jessica McGuinness fired it home into the roof of the net.
