The month ahead: November

Tomorrow’s Danske Bank Premiership clash with Portadown represents the first of seven fixtures Cliftonville face across two competitions in November.

The Reds are then back at Solitude for another Danske Bank Premiership duel with Dungannon Swifts on Saturday before a League Cup quarter-final date with the Ports on Tuesday the ninth is currently scheduled to commence a run of five consecutive away matches.

Though the date of that Shamrock Park encounter remains subject to change, what is certain is that Paddy McLaughlin’s side are pencilled in for a trip to Warrenpoint Town on the 13th ahead of a Windsor Park showdown with Linfield seven days later.

It’s destination Coleraine on the 27th before the month is rounded off with a battle against Larne at Inver Park – so be sure to add all of those dates to your diary as Cliftonville bid to build on a bright start to the season.
