Women’s Challenge Cup final: Cliftonville complete treble with comfortable win

It was Cliftonville who started the game with intent on their treble chase, as Marissa Callaghan and Kirsty McGuinness both had efforts off target in the early stages.

McDaniel then broke the deadlock on six minutes in fine fashion, firing home first time with outside of her boot inside the box after being found by Caitlin McGuinness.

A minute later Lisburn almost responded as Sophie Megaw’s curling low shot from the left-hand side of the area was palmed away by Erin McAllister.

Caitlin McGuinness twice squandered chances before doubling Cliftonville’s lead on 15 minutes.

She produced a cool close-range finish after latching onto Danielle Maxwell’s pass and racing through on goal.

Lisburn Rangers continued to threaten on the counter-attack and went close to pulling a goal back on 21 minutes.

Ellie-Mae Dixon fed Gracie Conway, but she snatched at the shot and her effort from distance was pushed away by McAllister.

Captain Kelsie Burrows almost netted a third before the break, but her first time effort cannoned back off the post after a corner fell to her at the back post.
