FIVE STAR REDS HIT THE GROUND RUNNING
Cliftonville Ladies got the new league campaign off to a winning start with a five-star performance against Mid Ulster Ladies at Stangmore Park.
Danielle Maxwell grabbed the fastest goal of the day when, as early as the second minute, she got on the end a perfectly weighted Louise McDaniel pass to beat Nikola Kundekova with a composed finish from ten yards.
McDaniel doubled up for the Reds a quarter-of-an-hour later with a strike into the corner of the net after skipping past a couple of defenders before, in the latter stages of the first half, Kirsty McGuinness blasted number three into the roof of the net from the six yard box.
McGuinness then turned provider on 75 minutes with a cross for McDaniel to run onto and double her tally for the afternoon from point blank range.
The Reds then extended their advantage with seven minutes remaining through Carla Devine who knocked the ball beyond Kundekova from the edge of the area.
