The Glentoran revival hit a bump in the road today as an in-form Crusaders put in a strong second half display to win the match very comfortably and extend our long winless record at Seaview.
With Gavin Peers still injured, we started unchanged from the team that beat Warrenpoint Town at the Oval last week. The match kicked off following a minute’s applause for journalist and Crues supporter Colin McAlpin who died recently.
A cash gate will now be available at this afternoon's Premiership game at Seaview.

On Saturday we face one of the big acid tests of our season, with our first visit to Seaview, the venue where we have our worst win performance over the past few years.
Crusaders currently lead the table, three points ahead of Coleraine and Cliftonville and four ahead of us, but they lost their first game of the season last week at Coleraine Showgrounds.
Treble Cup Winners Glentoran finished the season as they've played most of it with a convincing 7-1 away win over Cliftonville Ladies at Solitude.
Cliftonville took an early lead but a hat trick from Samantha Kelly (above), two from Rachel Rogan and further goals from Yasmin White and Emma McMaster all contributed to the Glens victory.
The Glens finished third with 36 points from 18 games. An end of season review will be published shortly.
