Women’s League Cup final: Reds beat Lisburn Rangers to retain trophy

The holders made a bright start to the game at Blanchflower Stadium, with Caitlin McGuinness forcing Emma Higgins into an early low save.

The striker got on the end of her sister Kirsty’s pass, but saw her low effort saved by the former Northern Ireland international.

A few minutes later the Reds would take the lead as Caitlin McGuinness burst down the right before squaring to Kirsty, who tapped home from close range.

It was one way traffic after that goal with Higgins keeping her side in the game.

Kirsty McGuinness had an effort from distance dip over the crossbar before Higgins denied Caitlin inside the area.

Fi Morgan then volleyed over the crossbar after a corner from Louise McDaniel.

McDaniel and Toni-Leigh Finnegan both hit the woodwork twice in the space of three minutes, with the former’s effort bouncing off the crossbar and Finnegan’s low strike after a free-flowing move coming back off the far post.

Higgins pushed an effort from Finnegan over the crossbar before denying Kirsty McGuinness twice in quick succession at the end of the half.
