Reds Carri on regardless

Cliftonville 4-0 Carrick Rangers

Cliftonville maintained their perfect start to the season with an impressive victory over Carrick Rangers at Solitude this afternoon.

A close-range finish from Ben Wilson set the Reds on their way and, after Ronan Doherty had converted from the penalty spot, Wilson struck again to ensure a 3-0 half-time advantage for the third consecutive game.

Unlike those previous outings, however, Cliftonville added to their tally after the break; Rory Hale volleying in from range after seizing on a miscued clearance from goalkeeper Ross Glendinning.

Cliftonville: Gartside, Stewart (Berry, 73 mins), Addis (Storey, 83 mins), Gallagher, Rory Hale (McGuinness, 73 mins), Lowe, Robinson (Pepper, 54 mins), Doherty, Casey, Turner, Wilson (C Curran, 83 mins). Unused subs: Odumosu, McDonagh.
