Derby directive

The first North Belfast Derby of the Sports Direct Women’s Premiership season takes place at Seaview on Friday night.

Cliftonville Ladies make the short journey to the Shore Road, where they will bid to build on their opening night 5-0 victory over Lisburn Ladies a fortnight ago.

The Reds’ participation in the All-Island Cup last weekend meant a pause in League action for Brendan Lynch’s side, however the Crues’ defeat of Derry City Women means it is they who lead the standings at this early juncture – and reclassifies Friday’s duel as a top-of-the-table affair.

Live on DAZN, the action kicks off at 8pm and you can lay claim to a ticket online right now at a cost of £5 for Adults and £2 for Concessions.
