Stewartry Sirens v Ayr Ladies preview

Ayr Ladies travel to Castle Douglas to take on Stewartry Sirens in the BT Women's National League Division 1.

The last time these two south-west rivals met was at BT Murrayfield in the final of the BT Plate in April, when the Sirens got the upper hand and took home the silverware.  So the Ladies will be looking to put in a strong performance, especially as they are sitting a place behind Stewartry in the table and would dearly love to leapfrog the Greenlaw side.

The squad continues to be a mixture of youth and experience.  Young half-backs Catherine Shennan and Emily Irving will be looking to pull the strings, whilst the tough yet mobile back row of Rachael Mulholland, Daryl Paterson and Lynda Morgan will be keen to put their opponents under pressure at the breakdown.

The teams know each other extremely well and this will be a closely fought contest.

Ayr Ladies:
15. Sammie Morrison; 14. Erin McSorley, 13. Laura Turner, 12. Kelsey Swift, 11. Connie Griffiths; 10. Catherine Shennan, 9. Emily Irving; 1. Lindsay Dick, 2. Lisa Croniken, 3. Louise McLauchlan; 4. Phoebe McDowall, 5. Ashleigh Nelson; 6. Rachael Mulholland, 7. Daryl Paterson, 8. Lynda Morgan.

Replacements:
16. Michelle Nelson, 17. Sarah Paterson, 18. Jackie O'Neil, 19. Lauren McBride, 20. Nattalie Rooney.

Kick-off 2pm.
