Limavady claim first win over Crusaders at Seaview as Philip Lowry scores

Limavady secured a significant victory against Crusaders at Seaview on Saturday, ending a period of difficulty for the Derry side.

Stephen Lowry, who took part in that historic triumph twenty years ago, returned to the pitch in midfield during the current contest.

The veteran midfielder arrived just in time to connect with a cross from Alfie Gaston and guide the ball into the far corner of the net.

Although Dunlop's goal proved difficult to contest, Paul Owens' side relied on fortunate breaks as Jewitt-White narrowly rattled the crossbar late in the game.

Despite the Crues' desperate search for an equaliser, Limavady held their position to claim a valuable win.

Philip Lowry spoke with BBC Sport NI about the club's relief at obtaining this first victory over Crusaders.

He highlighted the importance of using this result as a springboard for future progress in their bid for survival.

The conversation also focused on the potential impact of players such as Alfie Gaston and Jamie McGonigle.
