The month ahead: July

Cliftonville Ladies face four fixtures during a July programme that heralds their return to the Women’s Champions League.

Six days on from retaining the VBet Women’s League Cup with a sensational comeback victory against Glentoran at Seaview, the Reds return to the Shore Road for the first North Belfast Derby of the season with Crusaders Strikers this Friday night.

Then comes the first of back-to-back Sports Direct Women’s Premiership showdowns with the Glens, who visit Solitude next Tuesday, July 8 before playing host to an encounter at Blanchflower Stadium on the 25th.

Cliftonville will then end the month with that eagerly anticipated European showdown with Mitrovica in Kosovo on Wednesday the 30th, so be sure to add all of those dates to your diary as the Treble winners gear up for another busy month of action.
