Cliftonville maintained its position in the Women's Premiership title race following a 2-1 victory over Glentoran at the Blanchflower Stadium on Sunday. Striker Teegan Lynch, recently named Northern Ireland Football Writers' Association player of the month, scored during the match to help the Reds move eight points clear at the top of the table. The result marks a reversal for Cliftonville, which lost the league title to Glentoran at the same venue last season. While the club holds a significant lead, both Glentoran and Linfield maintain games in hand ahead of the league split. Lynch, who recorded six goals in August, stated that the squad remains focused on upcoming matches rather than the current points gap. Cliftonville resumes league play this Friday with an away fixture against Derry City.
