It's another important match for Ayr Ladies in the BT Women's National League Division 1 as they welcome Broughton to Millbrae on Sunday.
The visitors are hot on Ayr's heels in the table, where the ladies in pink and black sit in second place, so it will surely be a fiercely contested fixture. But the home side will be feeling confident after their 20-5 win over Cartha last Sunday.
"We are delighted with the victory last week, with a bonus point as well," says Ayr Ladies assistant coach Sylvain Diez. "From last Sunday's performance, we need to keep up our defence. Our organisation and patience were the key to our success."
He continues: "Broughton have a strong defence and managed to beat us with a couple of superb tries in Edinburgh in 2014. We need to improve our set piece platform to get more opportunities in attack. The girls are on good form though and we have a great team spirit. This game will be a must-watch!"
The under-15 girls are also playing at home on Sunday, kicking off at 11.30am against Biggar in the quarter-final of the Brewin Dolphin U15s Girls Cup.
