The month ahead: November

Cliftonville face six fixtures across two competitions in November – a month that begins with an eagerly-anticipated County Antrim Shield semi-final.

After the holders play host to Glentoran in Tuesday night’s battle for a place in the decider, the Reds will have home advantage once again when they take on Warrenpoint Town in the Danske Bank Premiership next Saturday.

A midweek trip to Dungannon Swifts soon follows before Ballymena United visit Solitude on the 14th.

Paddy McLaughlin’s side will then be on the road to Larne in advance of concluding the month by welcoming Portadown to north Belfast – so add all of those dates to your diary and make sure you’re part of things as the Reds bid to make progress on more than one front in the weeks ahead.
