Danske Bank Drama So Far: 2018 NIFL Women’s Premiership Season Review

With one round of fixtures left, She Kicks reviews all seven Danske Bank Women’s Premiership sides. Linfield are chasing a third straight title, already hold the League Cup and have played Ajax in Europe, with Kirsty McGuinness leading the scoring on eighteen despite losing a striker to a broken leg. Cliftonville emerged as the challengers and won the County Antrim Challenge Cup, with a Billie Simpson goal from her own half going viral. Crusaders’ hopes died in four July defeats, Glentoran are rebuilding, and Sion Swifts have drawn five while producing a teenager already called up by the Republic of Ireland. Derry lost their manager early, and Portadown, newly promoted, have no points and three goals.
