Crusaders Reserves secured a routine 3-0 victory over Portadown Reserves at Seaview to end a two-game losing streak in the NIFL Development League on Monday night
David Rainey's team ended Portadown's own recent run of good form courtesy of first half goals from Jay Boyd and Matthew Archerafter, with the former then adding his second and a third for his side in the second period as they claimed all three points after losing back-to-back games against Cliftonville and Glenavon.
The win ensures that the North Belfast side, who won the title last year, remain level on points with Linfield at the top of the table having played a game more than the Blues.
