The month ahead: April

Cliftonville face five fixtures across two competitions during an April run that begins and ends at the Clearer Twist Stadium.

Following tomorrow night’s Clearer Twist Irish Cup semi-final showdown with Dungannon Swifts, the first home game of the Reds’ Sports Direct Premiership post-split schedule sees Glentoran visit on Easter Tuesday.

A trip to Coleraine awaits on the 11th before Jim Magilton’s side welcome the Swifts seven days later ahead of Cliftonville’s League campaign drawing to a close against Linfield on the evening of April 25 – so be sure that all of those dates are in your diary as we gear up for a vital month.
