The month ahead: March

Cliftonville are solely on Danske Bank Premiership duty in March – with six mouth-watering fixtures to come over the next few weeks.

After tomorrow night’s encounter with Ballymena United at The Showgrounds, the Reds take on Linfield at Windsor Park on Saturday before welcoming Glenavon to Solitude on March 13.

On the 20th, Paddy McLaughlin’s side will be away to Larne before a clash with Coleraine seven days later represents the first of back-to-back home games, with Glentoran’s visit on the 30th rounding the month off – so add all of those dates to your diary as Cliftonville bid to generate some vital momentum at this key stage of the season.
