Jordan Owens celebrates his 250th goal in a Crusaders shirt
Jordan Owens notched his 250th goal in a Crusaders shirt to seal a 3-1 win over Glenavon at Mourneview Park.
The club’s all-time leading goalscorer found the net with a typical looping header two minutes into injury time – just five minutes after coming off the bench.
That killed off the comeback hopes of a Gleanvon team that had gained momentum through a Jack Malone goal.
Before that the Lurgan Blues looked down and out as they trailed 2-0 to Jarlath O’Rourke’s opening goal two minutes into first-half stoppage time and a cool Paul Heatley finish 20 minutes after the break.
Malone breathed life into the Glenavon challenge in rather fortunate circumstances 16 minutes from time when Crues goalkeeper Jonny Tuffey misjudged his 25-yard free kick and the ball slipped from his grasp and he was as relieved as anyone to see Owens find the net late on.
