CRUES BACK ON FORM
Crusaders Strikers swept to a comfortable defeat of Lisburn Ladies at Seaview to stretch their current unbeaten run to three games.
The Crues got off to a storming start with Alison McMaster, Jessica Rea and Darcie McNeill all finding the net inside the opening 20 minutes.
Beth Chalmers then hit two goals just before the hour to extend the Strikers' advantage, and although Aisling Cull pulled one back for the visitors midway through the second half Jessica McGuinness restored Crusaders' five-goal cushion with around a quarter-of-an-hour remaining.
