Glens 'deserve nothing but league title'- Turner
Glentoran manager Kim Turner has said that winning the league would 'put the cherry on top of the cake' ahead of her side's Women's Premiership title decider on Sunday (18:00 BST) against Cliftonville.
The Glens go into the final game of the season two points ahead of defending champions Cliftonville, who need to take victory at the Blanchflower Stadium to stop the east Belfast side from regaining the trophy.
The winners of the Premiership title will not only lift the trophy at the weekend but also book a coveted spot in the Champions League.
"This is where we wanted to be at the start of the year, so the fact that we are here means we are hitting those goals and values," Turner told BBC Sport NI.
"The girls deserve nothing but this. I can be biased, but I don't think any team works harder than us away from the field.
"The way they look after their bodies, the commitment and the extra sessions they are willing to do, they do not get enough credit. I feel like the league title would put the cherry on top of the cake."
Both teams lost their home matches against their main title rivals when they met earlier on in the season, with the respective losses representing the two sides' only defeat of the campaign.
They have also played in the Women's League Cup final, when the Reds came from two goals down to win 4-2 at Seaview.
However, Turner said they are "glad" that defeat happened and that "it is not going to happen again" ahead of Sunday's showdown.
"The biggest thing that Cliftonville have had, and always will, have is that never-say-die attitude," the former Northern Ireland midfielder continued.
"We learnt that the hard way in the final.
"We have learnt from that and we are glad that happened as it is not going to happen again."
