Women’s Challenge Cup: Hat-trick hero McGuinness praises ‘outstanding’ Reds

It was an emotionally charged evening for midfielder Marissa Callaghan as it marked just over a year since the death of her nephew, Ryan, in October 2023.

She was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet, hitting the crossbar and the post, but she was happy for Caitlin McGuinness to receive all the plaudits.

“My nephew Ryan passed away this time last year and my family is here tonight, and we are wearing our armbands and it’s dedicated to him tonight,” she explained.

“Unfortunately, I couldn’t get myself a goal I hit the crossbar, the post – everything!

“It has not been easy, but the girls were outstanding tonight. Caitlin McGuinness – what a hat-trick! I’m so happy and proud of them.”

Callaghan believes the historic first treble is just reward for the effort put in by players and staff alike this season.

“We have worked so, so hard together. We put in the shifts with late hours and early mornings, and it means everything.”
