“Carrick is a tough place to come, a cold Tuesday night and difficult conditions, but these are wins you look back on at the end of the season and although it was a scrappy game, it was great to get two goals and the win. If we hadn’t won on Tuesday, last Saturday’s win would have meant nothing. “While it’s my job to create and score goals we also defended well and have a clean sheet. “It’s a bonus to score goals,” said Kennedy. The 24-year old is just happy to contribute to the wins as the games come thick and fast as the team continue to play catch-up after their enforced break last month.
On the back of last Saturday’s victory over Linfield and Tuesday’s 2-0 success at Carrick Rangers, confidence is high in the Seaview camp and none is higher than Ben Kennedy, who has scored in each of the Crues’ last four victories and has been rewarded with a new three-and-a-half-year contract.

However, despite their 17 days without action due to the Covid outbreak in the squad last month, the Crues have been going along more than steadily as well since that 3-0 victory at the BetMcLean Oval, and a fifth victory in their last six Premiership outings today will leapfrog them above the Glens, having played two games fewer. “We got a good result last time we were over there and they then went on a really good run, I think it’s eight games undefeated for them, so we have to be up for the game and match them.” “It’s a huge, huge game of football,” he said, without equivocation. Stephen Baxter is in no doubt about the importance of today’s Danske Bank Premiership clash between Crusaders and Glentoran at Seaview.
