Caddell Satisfied with Win Despite ‘Scrappy’ Play Against Loughgall

Declan Caddell expressed satisfaction with his team’s 3-1 victory over Loughgall at Seaview, particularly noting how his side “managed the end of the game.” This result elevates the Crues to fifth position in the league standings. Philip Lowry initiated the scoring for the Crues, followed by goals from Harry Franklin and Jordan Stewart that secured the win. Caddell acknowledged the significance of this triumph, especially given that his team was not performing at its peak. He informed BBC Sport NI, “I thought the game was a bit scrappy, both teams needed time to find their feet and get into the game, but I was happy to go in 2-0 ahead at half-time.” Caddell further commented on the match, stating, “Loughgall had chances of their own and we asked for a response in the second half and the players gave me that with the third goal.” He added, “To concede straight after is criminal, and we struggled as Loughgall threw everything at us, but we managed the end of the game well.”
