Cliftonville Ladies are through to the final of the Avenir Sports All Island Cup following a one-goal defeat of Cork City Women at Solitude.

The only goal of the game came through Northern Ireland international Caitlin McGuinness on 12 minutes after she got on the end of a Danielle Maxwell corner from the left to nod the ball beyond keeper Abbie McCarthy.

Cork might have levelled a short time later when Chloe Atkinson sent a dipping effort wide but, by and large, the Reds looked the more likely to score as the game progressed, coming closest just after the hour when Katie Markey saw an effort come back off the inside of a post.

The Reds will face Galway United Women in the decider following their penalty shoot-out victory over Wexford Youths Women on Saturday.

Further information on the final will be released in due course.
