Final straight

Cliftonville Ladies will face Linfield Women in the Electric Ireland Women’s Irish Cup Final.

Contesting the decider for a third year in succession, the Reds – who lifted the trophy courtesy of a 5-0 victory over Lisburn Rangers in last year’s showpiece – booked their place in next month’s contest with a 3-1 win against Derry City Women at Mill Meadow on Friday night.

The Blues, meanwhile, recorded an emphatic 10-0 defeat of Larne Women as they strive to get their hands on the silverware for the first time since 2016.

Ticketing information for the October 18 showdown at The Clearer Twist Stadium will be confirmed as soon as possible.
