There has been Cliftonville representation on the scoresheet in both of Northern Ireland’s fixtures in the Women’s Futsal Euro preliminary qualifiers so far this week – but can we sign off with a treble tonight?

Though Keith Gibson’s side cannot progress to the next stage of qualifying on the back of defeats to Sweden and Belgium, they will complete their group schedule when they face the Netherlands at Newry Leisure Centre this evening.

Four Cliftonville players – Amber Dempster, Megan Weatherall, Louise Doherty and Rachel McConnell – are in Northern Ireland’s squad, with Dempster on target in Tuesday’s clash with the Swedes ahead of Weatherall finding the net in Wednesday’s loss to Belgium.

Everyone at Solitude naturally wishes the Reds quartet the very best of luck for this final outing of the qualifying programme.
