It was far from their best performance but it was a case of job done for the league leaders who took full advantage of Linfield’s home loss to Cliftonville at Windsor Park.

Indeed, it will be a difificult result to take for Ards, however, as they fell to a late Crusaders winner for the second time this season. On September 4th it was Jordan Owens who headed in to clinch a 1-0 win at Clandeboye.
