REDS CONTINUE LEAGUE CUP DEFENCE
Holders Cliftonville Ladies booked their place in the Women's Premiership League Cup final with victory over Glentoran Women at Solitude.
The Reds moved in front on six minutes when the ball fell for Caitlin McGuinness on the edge of the box to knock into the net.
Glentoran levelled eight minutes later when a Marissa Callaghan backpass was intercepted with Emily Wilson turning home the equaliser.
The visitors then moved in front just after the half-hour mark when Demi Vance beat Erin McAllister with a right-foot finish.

And Cliftonville's winner arrived on 59 minutes after Louise McDaniel got her head to the ball to beat Ashleigh McKinnon.
