 Shane Reddish scored from a free-kick for Ards |
Ards secured their second league win of the season with goals from player-manager Shane Reddish and Derek Delaney at Seaview. Having lost their previous two games 3-0, Ards badly needed a good result.
Reddish scored the opener with a free-kick after eight minutes and Delaney headed number two on 57.
There was a double sending-off late on with Crusaders defender Davy Munster and Sean Cleary of Ards red-carded after a stoppage-time fracas.
The result leaves Crusaders with just one win from five so far in the Irish Premier League.
The opening goal was a disaster for their teenage goalkeeper Lee Windrum as he fumbled Reddish's free into the net.
But he made amends just before half-time by pulling off a superb stop from John Bailie's shot which deflected off Delaney.
Ards' second came when an Alun Rees cross set up Delaney for a close-range header.
