Ayr Ladies welcome Cartha Ladies to Millbrae tomorrow for their second round clash in the Sarah Beaney Cup.
The visitors currently top the BT Women's National League Division 1 and have already defeated Ayr Ladies in that league last month. But they come into this match on the back of their first loss of the season and combined with the home advantage, the ladies in pink and black will be hoping to put in a strong performance.
"We can expect Cartha to come to Millbrae with a lot of intent and the desire to win this game," says Ayr Ladies assistant coach Sylvain Diez. "They have a strong forward pack and our biggest challenge will be to match them in the set piece. Our defense has been outstanding so far, so we need to keep this up and take any opportunities. We must be clinical if we want to win this game."
Diez reckons the sixteenth (wo)man will be crucial for this tough encounter.
"We hope a good crowd will turn up and help the girls to go through to the next stage of the Cup."
In the squad, Diez cites an absence and a return which could affect the Ladies' cause.
"We've lost our new backrow player Eilidh Thomson, who was injured last week in our win against Aberdeenshire. But Ann-Marie Connelly is coming back from injury and will add some speed and magic to our back line."
Team:
TBA.
Kick-off 2pm! Free entry.
