Hunting high and Lou
Louise McDaniel says Cliftonville Ladies are “buzzing” for this weekend’s Avenir Sports All-Island Cup Final.
The Reds go head-to-head with Galway United in Sligo this Sunday for the right to be crowned the competition’s first ever Champions and McDaniel is raring for the action to get started.
“The success we had last season has made us hungry for more,” she says.
“We can use our experiences from then to put us in good stead for this match. Galway will be a hard battle but it’s one we are looking forward to.”
Following a hectic spell that saw Cliftonville reach three Cup Finals as well as maintaining the defence of their Sports Direct Women’s Premiership title, Sunday’s contest is the team’s first outing for a fortnight and McDaniel is hoping the interval – which coincides with the international window – has helped recharge the squad’s batteries.
“Everyone’s buzzing to be back, especially after the break,” explains the 23-year-old.
“I feel everyone’s excited for the occasion as it’s another opportunity to win more trophies.”
