The Hachetmen showed
off their might of champions and looking forward to another league shield with
a fantastic foursome in Jordan Owens, Howard Beverland, Gavin Whyte and Declan
Caddell.
These amazing lads
gave their Crues an amazing Boxing Day win and not only that, but also all-around
bragging rights in this edition of the Belfast Derby.
This win not only
gives the Stephen Baxter Boys a solid seven point lead over cross town foe
Linfield that drew in this match but a bust on their upcoming match against the
Boys from Windsor Park on New Year’s Eve.
What a joy for the league
leader at difficult to play Solitude Park, with a nice rout and exhibition of
pure genuine Baxter style football he instituted to his initial elven, the win
became very obvious.
The Crues not only
put on a goal fest over the Reds at their home field leaving quiet through the
whole match but also their keeper Sean O’ Neill who had a dandy of an afternoon
under his arches without any hesitations or dangers that lured around him.
For now the Danske Bank table has the Crusaders
sitting pretty with a seven point lead and a match next week on New Year’s eve
on a reprise of the another version of the Belfast Derby.
This time Seaview
will be the witness of a match between them and the Windsor Boys, the Linfield Blues
looking in every way to net the win as well cut the Crues lead atop the overall
table.
Still the is far from
over and anything can happen from here to March when the Danske Premiership
closes this edition and it can be anyone’s shield to this point.
As the league
progresses and leaves behind this 2016, the aim of the Crusaders Boss Stephen
Baxter is to continue with his squad the unbeatable drive and not surrender any
points to anyone in the remaining matches.
Very well, maintain
their level and impetus of excellence in order to achieve the unthinkable of
netting a third shield in a consecutive way as well this time make it an
impossible dream a reality of advancing into the knockout rounds in Champions
League.
Something similar from
their Republic of Ireland neighbors the Dundalk FC, the Hachetmen are on route
to a third shield if they maintain their led comfortably as well they can make
history.
The way this club
showed off their might and overcome their foes defensive backfield exposing its
flaws, was a feat like no other and gives this squad plenty of confidence ahead
to their next week’s match, considered
important.
At the end, this squad
is consolidating itself as one tough group of warriors looking forward to write
history in both the League of Ireland and the upcoming elimination rounds of
the UEFA Champions League.
A grand win for Stephen
Baxter crew that uplifted his squad in the overall table with a comfortable lead
in the overall table as well a notable and magnificent 4-0 win, considered a
one of a kind gift for its faithful legion of followers.
