Get semi serious

Cliftonville Ladies will strive to take a huge step towards defending their Irish Cup crown when they face Derry City Women in Friday’s semi-final.

The Reds hoisted the silverware to complete a treble trophy triumph last year, with a 5-0 victory over Lisburn Rangers in the Windsor Park decider seeing the Irish Cup join the Women’s League Cup and Premiership prizes in the cabinet.

A Mill Meadow showdown with the Candystripes stands between the holders and yet another Final appearance and, with kick-off in Castledawson slated for 7.45pm, your support would be most welcome as the holders bid to maintain their grip on the Cup.
