It was a dream start for Declan Caddells tenure as Crusaders manager in the Sports Direct Premiership as he steered the team to a 1-0 win over Glentoran at The Oval on Friday night. It was one of the summer signings, Kieran Offord, who scored the goal in the first half when he chased down a ball he had charged down initially and put into the net that sent Crusaders home with three points in the bag.
Overall Crusaders deserved the win as they battled for everything in front of them with Robbie Weir possibly just edging ahead as man of the match but with so many great performances it would be wrong not to mention the team effort that was put in by all.
