Glentoran stay on top of the Danske Bank Women’s Premiership after a 9-0 win over Linfield.

Kerry Beattie and Joely Andrews got the Glens off to a great start before a Jess Foy double.

Casey Howe (pictured) added a hat-trick in the second half with an own goal and a strike in injury time from sub Rachel Rogan wrapping up the points.

Cliftonville remain just one point off the pace with two games in hand thanks to an impressive 3-1 victory at third-placed Crusaders Strikers.

Kirsty McGuinness opened the scoring for John McGrady’s side and while Amy McGivern equalised for the hosts at half-time, Northern Ireland internationals Marissa Callaghan and Toni-Leigh Finnegan each netted in the second half to secure the points.

Sion Swifts ran out four-goal victories over Derry City at the Brandywell as Kerryanne Brown and Hayley O’Donnell each netted before the break, before a second half double from substitute Caoirse Doherty.
