HAT-TRICK FOR KIRSTY AS REDS POWER BACK TO TOP
Cliftonville Ladies made it three wins from three with a dominant performance against Larne Women at Solitude.
Fionnula Morgan opened the scoring as early as the third minute with a close range finish from a corner, but Larne hit back moments later when Maddie Brant, on her debut for the club, directed a header past keeper Erin McAllister.
Kirsty McGuinness restored Cliftonville's lead a couple of minutes after that, however, with a stunning 25-yard left-foot effort beyond Cerys Sharkey.
Younger sister Caitlin followed up with a couple of goals of her own midway through the first half before Kirsty bagged her second of the afternoon moments from the break.
Danielle Maxwell added to Cliftonville's tally on 50 minutes, with Kirsty then bagging her hat-trick goal just after the hour when she ran onto Abbie Magee's pass to score from an acute angle.
Carla Devine completed the scoring ten minutes from the end from the edge of the six yard box.
