Stripes up for Crues tie

They face another tough test tonight (Tuesday) though as they welcome Crusaders to The Showgrounds.

Oran Kearney though is hoping to build on the recent performances and keep their run going against Stephen Baxter’s side.

“We played well against Portadown, but it’s done and dusted now and we move on to the Crusaders game now,” said Kearney.

“We just have to make sure we get as much rest as we need before what is going to be another tough game.

“We have to make sure we come out with the same desire and endeavour we showed against Portadown.

“There’s so many tough teams in this league. That front two of Portadown will be as tough a striking partnership as we’ll come up against this season.

“So from that point of view we have to be happy with keeping a clean sheet that’s the building block we have to use for the games coming up.”
