Sports Direct Women’s Premiership  


Cliftonville marked their Sports Direct Women's Premiership title triumph with a 4-1 victory over Glentoran at Solitude before being presented with the championship trophy.


After a goalless first half, Teegan Lynch broke the deadlock five minutes after the restart, meeting Kirsty McGuinness' cross. Glentoran responded through Mia Moore but Cliftonville quickly regained the lead with a strike from Caitlin McGuinness. After going back in front, McGuinness then added two more late on to complete her hat-trick, the first after a lay-off from Louise McDaniel and then she raced onto Lucy Kelly's pass to round off the scoring in stoppage time.


At Crewe Park, Linfield edged Lisburn Rangers by the odd goal in five. Sophie McKnight struck twice inside the opening 37 minutes, but Abbie Smyth pulled one back in first half stoppage time. McKnight then turned provider to set up Megan Bell for Linfield's third with eight minutes remaining and although Ellie-Mae Dickson reduced the deficit two minutes later, the Blues held on for all three points. Linfield finish the campaign in third place, two points behind runners-up Glentoran.


Derry City ended the season with a 3-2 win over Crusaders Strikers at Seaview. Rachel McIntyre opened the scoring after ten minutes, with Julie Nelson levelling before Cache Crumlish-Hawes restored Derry's lead early in the second half. McIntyre struck again in injury time and although Maja Stachura pulled one back three minutes later, Derry held on to finish their campaign on a high note but ended up two points behind their fifth placed opponents.  


At Inver Park, Larne completed their campaign with a 1-0 victory over Lisburn Ladies. The only goal came after 29 minutes when Larne captain Hollie Johnston found the net to secure all three points for their first win of the season, although it was not quite enough to see them finish above Lisburn. .
