Gold standard

Best wishes are extended to the Cliftonville duo on international duty with Northern Ireland at the Goldcity Women’s Cup in Turkey this week.

Captain Marissa Callaghan has been joined in the senior panel by Solitude team mate Emma McMaster, who skippered NI’s Under 19 side during last summer’s UEFA Women’s Under-19 Championships.

Alfie Wylie’s team face Kazakhstan today before taking on Romania on Friday and Ukraine 48 hours later ahead of a decisive fixture next Tuesday against as-yet-undetermined opposition, with all at Cliftonville naturally wishing our two representatives in particular the very best of luck.
