Cliftonville close in on league leaders
Cliftonville moved above Crusaders Strikers in the NIFL Danske Bank Women’s Premiership with a 5-1 defeat of Derry City on Wednesday 18 July.
The hosts were ahead after only 9 minutes when a cross from Shannon Grattan was met by Amber Dempster at the near post.
Grattan herself scrambled the ball home to make it 2-0 and then provided the delivery for Emma McMaster to score before the break.
A Billie Simpson solo effort and second goal for Dempster made it 5-0 before Derry got a consolation.
The result cut Linfield’s lead at the top to three points from a game more, they go to Crusaders for a crucial clash on Sunday afternoon.
