Code Red countdown

It’s not just our supporters we’re asking to #WrapUpInRed for the next few weeks – the Cliftonville Road will soon be treated to its traditional May makeover as the Clearer Water Irish Cup Final approaches.

A joint initiative between the Tommy Breslin North Belfast Reds CSC and Jonny Addis CSC, flags and bunting will be paraded in the immediate vicinity of Solitude as fans, players and Club officials alike count down to the eagerly-anticipated May 4 battle with Linfield at Windsor Park.

To that end, both Supporters Clubs will be holding a fundraising collection for materials ahead of tomorrow’s Sports Direct Premiership fixture with Glentoran and would be grateful for anything you are able to donate to their cause.

They would likewise be appreciative of any assistance that can be offered in the construction of their display next week, with anyone interesting in lending a hand asked to make contact with representatives of either group as soon as possible.
