Watch Cliftonville versus Lisburn Rangers in the Women’s Challenge Cup Final
She ghosted into the box and got on the end of a well-timed pass from Caitlin McGuinness to give the Reds a deserved early lead after their fast start to the game.
One year on and standing with the Women's Premiership medal around her neck, after helping Cliftonville to an unbeaten campaign, she was glad she has persevered."You do have a wee blip. I think it was the third time in my career where you go, 'I'm done'. But I'm not."I keep up with the youngsters. I might be 39 but I'm not 39 in terms of my football age."Unsurprisingly, the in-form Danielle Maxwell starts for Cliftonville.
For Lisburn Rangers, they will hope Gracie Conway can continue her goal scoring exploits in her first season in top-flight football.There are four changes to the Cliftonville starting XI who began the final league game of the season with Hannah Doherty, Louise McDaniel, Kirsty McGuinness and Abbie Magee replacing Orleigha McGuinness, Vicky Carleton, Aoibhe O’Neill and Carla Devine.
Left-back Vance, who was another key player as Northern Ireland qualified for Euro 2022, is another high-profile omission by Oxtoby for the play-off.
