Cliftonville’s long wait to win the Irish Cup for a ninth time is over. A 3-1 victory over Linfield this afternoon ensured the club’s class of 1979 have passed the baton to a new generation.

And Jim Magilton’s Cliftonville team had to bridge the 45-year gap the hard way in front of almost 15,000 fans at the National Football Stadium at Windsor Park.

The Clearer Water Irish Cup trophy was claimed thanks to two extra-time goals from Ronan Hale and another from Sam Ashford in normal time.
