Ronan Doherty on target as Cliftonville extend lead at top

Ronan Doherty hit a late winner to squeeze Cliftonville past Carrick Rangers in the Irish Cup.

Doherty bagged the 81st minute winner as the Reds moved into the quarter-finals of the competition.

The crowd at Taylor’s Avenue were beginning to think that they wouldn’t see a breakthrough - but Cliftonville found a way.

Cliftonville will face Coleraine in the semi-finals.
