Crusaders play their final pre season friendly before their first Sports Direct Premiership game on 11th August when they travel to play Ballymacash Rangers at the Bluebell Stadium in Lisburn (3pm) After the euphoria of Thursday night we travel to the newly promoted Intermediate side to open their new stand and a great occasion is expected by all.
Given the massive game next Thursday night in Trondheim against Rosenborg Stephen will use the full squad depth for this game but we will still field a strong eleven against the the NIFL new boys. Ballymacash Rangers have gone from strength to strength over the past few years both on and off the pitch and all the hard work has payed off with them finally achieving gaining promotion to NIFL's Intermediate section.
We would love too see you with us again and admission is £5 and Under 16's FREE.
See you there. C'mon the Crues
