LOWRY DOUBLE SENDS CRUES THROUGH
Philip Lowry struck twice as Crusaders came from behind to defeat Coleraine in the BetMcLean Cup.
The Crues might have moved in front with around a quarter-of-an-hour on the clock when Mal Smith had a go from distance, and had Rory Brown beaten, only for the ball to smash back off the crossbar.
But the deadlock was broken just a couple of minutes after that at the other when Matthew Shevlin ran onto Connor Murray's cross from the left to beat Jonny Tuffey from close range.
That was how it stayed until three minutes after the break when Lowry levelled after combining with Stewart Nixon to send a deflected effort past Rory Brown from outside the area.
And just as it looked like the game would drift into extra-time up popped Lowry again in the closing moments to volley home into the bottom corner from Jarlath O'Rourke's perfectly delivered free-kick.
