Lisburn Rangers beat Reds as Glens and Blues draw
Lisburn Rangers scored a 90th-minute winner to beat Cliftonville 4-3 at Solitude, while Linfield and Glentoran drew 2-2 in the Premiership. Caoimhe Gleston opened the scoring after just five minutes in sunny north Belfast before Hannah Doherty levelled the game. The away side restored their lead in the 27th minute, but Doherty equalised once again and Caitlin McGuinness then fired the Reds in front. However, an own goal from stopper Maddy Harvey Clifford levelled the end-to-end match on 58 minutes. Both sides continued to push for another goal with Grace Murray grabbing the late winner to secure the three points for Lisburn Rangers and inflict a first defeat of the league campaign on Cliftonville less than a week after they won a fourth consecutive Women's League Cup. Elsewhere, at Midgley Park, defending Premiership champions Glentoran are now without a win in their last three games after they drew with rivals Linfield, who remain top of the table. The result comes after Glens manager Kim Turner said that 'scheduling of fixtures was really poor and unfair' for her side. Megan Bell gave the Blues an early lead with Sophie McKnight doubling their advantage from close range before Demi Vance halved their lead before the break. On 65 minutes, Linfield failed to clear a free-kick into the box with Mia Moore producing a lovely finish to split the points.
