Chris Curran admits it's time for Cliftonville to translate their impressive form into tangible success.
The Reds have been one of the standout teams this season and remain on course for a trophy treble.
Paddy McLaughlin's side have the chance to complete the first part of the puzzle this Sunday when they take on Coleraine in the final of the BetMcLean League Cup.

And club captain Curran insists it is imperative Cliftonville don't fall into the 'nearly men' trap and miss out on silverware glory.
"There has been a lot of talk about our position in the league and doing well in the cup competitions, but it won't mean anything if we don't capitalise and win some silverware," he said.
"That's the missing piece in what we have been doing the past few years. People recognise us as a good side and one that can challenge, but you want to win things at the end of the day.
"We have an inner belief that we have a good squad and a good blend of youth and experience. There is a great energy in the team, so the pieces are starting to come together.
"But you have to deliver and you don't want to become known as a nearly side that came close but faded away."
Curran believes the arrival of manager McLaughlin in February 2019 has been a catalyst in the club's steady rise.
"There has been a notable chance since Paddy came in , and supporters are starting to believe again that something might be happening," he added.
"We can feel that when we're at home. There is a belief there and fans are excited to watch Cliftonville again."
