Crues happy under the radar says Lecky
Larne, backed by local man and owner of the real estate website Purplebricks, Kenny Bruce set the early pace in this season’s league campaign and are currently placed second, two points behind the Blues with a game in hand.
Linfield leapfrogged their title rivals with a 2-1 victory at Glenavon last day out at the same time that Larne suffered their first defeat in a 1-0 reverse against Ballymena United.
But, while many are wondering if recent County Antrim Shield winners Larne can win a first ever Premiership title and in the process knock Linfield off their perch, Stephen Baxter’s Crusaders have been hovering under the radar and right now look well placed to mount a concerted challenge.
