Newry City v Crusaders Sports Direct Premiership. 26th August

25th Aug 2023

Crusaders are back at it in the Sports Direct Premiership on Saturday with an away game to Newry City at the Newry Showgrounds (3pm) After the massive win on Tuesday night it is a case of coming back down to earth and preparing for a new game against a differwnt team. Newry City have had a stop start start to the season with two wins and two defeats and manager Gary Boyle will want to get a run going ASAP to avoid last seasons near disaster for the Club.

Crusaders will remain possibly unchanged after Tuesday nights 9-0 win over Carrick Rangers as long as everyone reports fit and ready. The manner they ripped apart Carrick Rangers will be especially pleasing for Stephen Baxter but the game will be parked and the manager will focus on the game ahead and this will be passed to the team also. Ben Kennedy will want to add to his four goals scored last time out but he will not mind as long as Crusaders collect all three points. 

An opening day defeat shook Newry City into life but a win, loss and then a win shows the stuttering start they have had.
