REDS HIT LISBURN FOR SIX
Caitlin McGuinness bagged a hat-trick as holders Cliftonville Ladies defeated Lisburn Ladies at the Bluebell Stadium.
Kirsty McGuinness opened the scoring on 19 minutes with a sweetly struck free-kick from just outside the area.
Fionnula Morgan bagged Cliftonville's second midway through the first half in off the upright before, on the half-hour mark, Caitlin McGuinness knocked home her first of the evening with a low finish past keeper Zara Maguire.
Caitlin struck again on 52 minutes after intercepting a poor clearance from Maguire, with Carla Devine hitting a fifth not longer after that from close range.
The scoring was completed with just under a quarter-of-an-hour remaining with Caitlin's hat-trick goal after she got her head to Katie Markey's lofted ball.
