Irish Cup - Crues Cruise Past Lurgan Blues

Glenavon .... (0)0 ...... Crusaders .... (1)4

Crusaders breezed past the Lurgan Blues to reach the second round of this season’s Irish Cup.

But despite the north Belfast side’s superiority there was controversy aplenty.

And... should they watch this one back, the men in yellow will feel they’ve had better nights.
There was a catalogue of doubt: Crusaders’ Billy Joe Burns was probably fortunate to remain on the pitch after he unbalanced Paddy Burns going through one on one with Tuffey, an incorrectly disallowed Glenavon goal in the opening minute of the 2nd half should have levelled the tie and Josh Robinson’s handball prior to Heatley’s second, Crusaders fourth, went undetected and should instead have brought a penalty to Glenavon.
