The month ahead: March

Cliftonville face six fixtures across three competitions during what promises to be a manic March.

After continuing their defence of the Clearer Water Irish Cup in this afternoon’s quarter-final tie with Crusaders at Seaview, the Reds face Glentoran in next Sunday’s BetMcLean Cup Final.

Thereafter, focus shifts to the closing games of our pre-split schedule in the Sports Direct Premiership, with Dungannon Swifts visiting Solitude on Wednesday, March 12.

Three days later, Cliftonville travel to Ballymena United before taking on Coleraine at The Showgrounds on the 18th, with Carrick Rangers arriving at Solitude on the 22nd – so be sure that all of those dates are in your diary as we gear up for some huge tussles in the weeks ahead.
