The month ahead: April

This evening’s Irish Cup semi-final with Crusaders commences a run of seven Cliftonville fixtures across two competitions in April.

After travelling to face Portadown on Danske Bank Premiership duty on Tuesday, the Reds then host Linfield and Larne on consecutive Saturdays ahead of completing their League programme with trips to Coleraine, Crusaders and Glentoran – so be sure to add all of those dates to your diary as Paddy McLaughlin and his players target a strong finish to a fine season.
