A ruthless second-half performance from holders Glentoran helped them to a 3-0 victory against Cliftonville in the Women's Challenge Cup final at Windsor Park.Vicky Carleton was shown a straight red card for Cliftonville, before Rachel Rogan scored a late third.The victory also completes a league and cup double for the Women's Premiership winner, as Cliftonville's wait for a first Challenge Cup win since 2015 continues.
Kirsty McGuinness should have broken the deadlock a minute later as she raced through on goal before firing wide with only Ashleigh McKinnon to beat. After a similar slow start to the second half the game exploded into life on 55 minutes as Beattie broke the deadlock for the Glens, converting from her first sight on goal.
A corner at the other end would bring Glentoran's second goal on 77 minutes, although in rather fortuitous circumstances.
