Crusaders have made a winning start to their defence of the Danske Bank Premiership title.

They beat 10-man Ards 4-2 at Seaview on Monday night.

New signing from Derry City Rory Patterson scored on his debut but also had a spectacular penalty miss.

Here's the Crues manager Stephen Baxter....

The North Down side had midfielder Josh Kelly sent off.

And manager Colin Nixon feels they got a raw deal overall from the officials...

 

Derry City are on course to lift their first trophy for six years.

It's after they beat Sligo Rovers 1-0 to qualify for the final of the E-A Sports Cup.

Their opponents in the decider will be Cobh Ramblers, who had a shock last four victory over holders Dundalk.
