Preview
The Crusaders will face Carrick in a first-round match of the IFA Premiership. The last time the two teams met, the match ended in a goalless draw.

Analysis Crusaders

At the most crucial moment of last season, the Crusaders lacked greater creative power. The team failed to achieve one of its major objectives and will now have to enter this edition of the IFA Premiership knowing they can't make the same mistake. Starting the competition with a win will be the priority, so a well-positioned team is expected from the opening minutes of this duel against Carrick. An error-free performance will increase their chances of success.

Confirmed Lineup: Musa Dibaga, Lewis Barr, Brendan Jack Hamilton, Kurtis Forsythe, Finley Thorndike, Jordan Forsythe, Elliot Dunlop, Robbie Weir, Lloyd Anderson, Adam Brooks, Fraser Bryden.
Coach: S. Baxter.

Analysis Carrick

Carrick came very close to relegation last season. The team couldn't find their rhythm, and lack of consistency can't be their hallmark again. With more solid work, they'll be able to compete for something bigger in the standings this season. Therefore, it's crucial that they approach this debut with a different approach on the field. Even playing away from home, they'll need to take certain risks. Attacking at the right moments will be the key to trying to surprise.

Confirmed Lineup: Nathan Gartside, Luke O'Brien, Luke McCullough, Jimmy Callacher, Joe Crowe, Jack Scott, Aidan Steele, Matthew Snoddy, Danny Purkis, Paul Heatley, Adam Lecky.
Coach: S. Baxter.
