The month ahead: November

The big games keep coming thick and fast for Cliftonville, who face five testing fixtures across a challenging November.

After tackling Larne at Inver Park this Friday night, Jim Magilton takes his side to face Dungannon Swifts at Stangmore Park on BetMcLean Cup duty next Tuesday ahead of Newry City visiting Solitude on the 11th.

The Reds are on their travels again for a Sunday showdown with Carrick Rangers eight days later, with November’s commitments concluding with a North Belfast Derby duel at Solitude on the 25th – so be sure that all of those dates are in your diary as Cliftonville prepare for another big month.
