Crusaders ..... (0)0 ..... Glenavon ..... (0)0
Glenavon left damp and dreary Seaview last evening with a share of the spoils. They’ve now taken 7 out of 9 points from the Shore Road men this season, with Crusaders not managing a goal in any of the three meetings.
A win for Crusaders would have reduced the gap between themselves and north Belfast rival Cliftonville in third, to 7 points. As it is, tonight’s stalemate leaves them trailing The Reds by 9 with a solitary game in hand.
Gary Hamilton was the happier manager at the end of a hard-fought 90 minutes in which his side showed little attacking ambition.
