The month ahead: November

A new month brings fresh challenges as Cliftonville gear up for five fixtures across two competitions in November.

Following tonight’s North Belfast Derby duel with Crusaders at Solitude, the Reds travel to Bangor for a BetMcLean Cup second round test on Tuesday.

Dungannon Swifts provide the opposition on Sports Direct Premiership duty on November 9 while, seven days later, Cliftonville have their first home Saturday 3pm kick-off of the season when Ballymena United are our visitors before the month ends in a Solitude showdown with Loughgall – so be sure that all of those dates are in your diary as we gear up for another big run of matches.
