With a match considered as an easy affair for the Blues, suddenly for the Windsor residents, things didn’t work as expected in what was an afternoon full of surprises and letdowns.
As the North Ireland Premier League is in its critical stages, so far the Blues are becoming somehow concern of their slim lead of five points from their closest foes in the Clintonville Reds.
After last campaign that the Blues opposites lifted the Danske Bank Premiership League trophy as champions- this campaign was one to take very seriously in their hopes of bringing back the coveted silverware to the halls of Windsor Park.
Still for the Blues Manager David Jeffrey it was a day of frustrations after seeing his lead that his lads put on the board in the early stages of the match, very well seeing an all-around effort from the visiting Ards.
Indeed, a match considered a compromise in league and playing against the lowest seed in the overall table- the Ards and its blokes never looked back in every minute of the match as well in each score from the locals, they really counter attacked and hence their efforts for the draw.
In what was considered a goal feast, the visitors really capitalize on the local’s mishaps for the final score in the 85th minute and hence the result that was considered as a win for the White and Blue squad.
For now this result is in the past for the Linfield squad and now, this skipper focus is on their next compromise against their archrivals the Clintonville Reds- on a match considered as another Belfast Derby for its importance!
In this Derby were the Reds versus the Blues, considered a duel to the death between these two titans in their quest of the NIFL shield.
For now on David Jeffrey and his lads need to add points to the Blues cause, if they want to stay in the league top and with a loss for the Blues, sadly means a compromise in their overall position in the table as well it can deflate their ambitions for the league top honors.
