County Antrim Shield 1/4 Final: United 0, Crusaders 1

BALLYMENA United's Shield hopes ended for another year on Tuesday as they lost 1-0 to holders Crusaders.

David Rainey got the winner as United lost to the Shore Road outfit for the second time in a week.

Like the league defeat, the Sky Blues were their own worst enemy as a defensive blunder allowed Rainey to score on the hour mark.

United pressed for the equaliser and were only denied by Chris Keenan in the Crues' goal, saving from United's Mark Surgenor late on.

This Saturday it is back to League action as Newry visit the Showgrounds. Kick off 3pm.
