Crusaders Reserves fell to defeat tonight when Ballymena United Reserves won 2-0 at the Ballymena Showgrounds.
The damage was done in the first half when Noah Stewart scored twice in three minutes for the home side and although Crusaders Reserves rallied they could not find the net and it was a third league defeat in a row. Despite the loss they remain top as second placed Linfield Swifts also lost.
They now turn their attention to the Intermediate Cup this Saturday away to Barn United.
