Another day, another draw as Cliftonville and Linfield heroes of yesteryear played out an entertaining encounter at Solitude this afternoon.

Less than 24 hours after the sides had contested a goalless Danske Bank Premiership battle at the same venue, the Clubs’ Over-35s teams went head-to-head in a special fundraiser in memory of former Reds player Jerry Thompson, with photographer Damien Toolan on hand to capture the action.

Bossed by title-winning Assistant Manager Peter Murray, the Reds – who had 1998 Champions Stephen Small, Mickey Donnelly and Keith Mulvenna in their line-up alongside fellow Premiership winners George McMullan, Marc Smyth, Ciaran Caldwell, Stephen Garrett, Ryan Catney, Chris Scannell and Dermot McVeigh – were held to a 2-2 draw by an equally star-studded Linfield side.
