Linfield Ladies have champion feeling
Champions: Linfield Ladies players celebrate after clinching the Danske Bank Women’s Premiership last night
Linfield Ladies clinched the Danske Bank Women’s Premiership title last night in emphatic style, sweeping aside nearest challengers Cliftonville Ladies 4-0.
The Blues just needed to avoid defeat to be crowned champions but they finished the job in some style.
Nine points ahead of their Belfast rivals and having played a game less, Linfield were a cut above the rest and nine victories in 10 matches is a superb record.
The team was determined to cross the line with a bit of a swagger and they displayed their ruthless treak again at Rathmore Grammar School last night.
The Blues were held to a draw on the opening day of the season but since then they have been a different class, scoring 47 goals and only conceding three in 11 outings.
Cliftonville defeated Mid-Ulster Ladies 2-0 on Monday but they finally ran out of steam against the league leaders.
Elsewhere, Crusaders Strikers recorded an impressive 4-2 victory at Mid-Ulster Ladies, a result which sees the Crues leapfrog their rivals in the league table.
It was revenge for the Belfast side after the hosts won the reverse tie 2-1 at Seaview in May.
Newry City Ladies made it four wins on the spin with a 5-2 victory over Glentoran Belfast United at the Showgrounds.
The Glens sit second from bottom but the Newry girls lie third in the table.
