Cliftonville’s Closing on Another NIPL Shield

An everlasting effort is what Tommy Breslin chaps are showing in every match played, as well a very heated competition being seen in the final stages of the North Ireland Premier League.

Convincingly this squad is becoming a force not to reckon with, as their latest victims in the so called Belfast Derby, after defeating an inoperative local squad in the Linfield Blues.

Last campaign reigning 2012-13 edition champions, suddenly moved atop the overall table, with a way of playing like there’s no tomorrow, very well add another shield to their trophy case at Solitude Stadium.

Still four matches left in the North Ireland Premiership, which anything can happen between these dates and between the Reds and Blues.

In a match were the Reds weren’t intimidated, but motivated by getting the upper hand in doing the feat at the home of the Blues, considered one of the winningest squads in North Ireland football.

Silencing a venue known as raucous and difficult as many know Windsor Park, Breslin lads did an all-around exploit of their determination to earn the win!

By reaching their goals of repeating as champions again, this shield can be their fifth in the club’s history as well their first time in doing in it in a repetitive act.

For now Manager Tommy Breslin and his Reds need to focus in the upcoming matches, which are crucial for their quest of becoming champions in this edition of the NIPL.

With squads in their schedule as Glentoran, Glenavon, Portadown and Crusaders in their way; very well seen as not so easy opponents, the Reds will have their work cut out, still they can demonstrate in the field what they’re are made of as well their mettle.

On the opposing side the Linfield Blues sudden difficulty in maintain their dominance in the NIPL as in old times, is becoming evidently in every campaign, not only for the Cliftonville Reds- but for the Crusaders, Portadown as well Glenavon and Glentoran becoming as competitive and uplifting this league.

So far Cliftonville has something to show off in the top scorers table with Joe Gormley in the top with 25 goals scored and in third position his teammate in Liam Boyce with 21 goals, leading the league.

At the end good strategy, spirit and one of a kind ambition is what can make this Cliftonville squad prevail in the long run as well earned them the coveted NIPL Shield, as their one point lead won’t be sufficient to maintain their ground in the table.
