Ayr Ladies v Kirkcaldy Women preview

Ayr Ladies are back in action at Millbrae this Sunday, taking on Kirkcaldy in BT Women's National League Division 1.

Women's fixtures have been hardest hit by the weather and this match is a postponed tie from all the way back in November. After last week's game at Millbrae against Watsonians was cancelled, Ayr Ladies are more than keen to get back on to the field.

They will also be eager to gain some revenge after Kirkcaldy beat them in September, their only defeat of the season so far. The ladies in pink and black are currently joint top of the table with Stewartry Sirens, and, with a game in hand, they will be looking to assert their dominance.

There are some changes to the squad, with Laura Turner returning to inside centre after a few outings in the front row, and Lauren McBride starts at stand-off.

Amongst the substitutes are Gemma Swankie and Ann-Marie Connelly, who could be making long-awaited comebacks after lengthy spells on the sidelines.


Ayr:
15. Samantha Morrison; 14. Sarah P Paterson, 13. Rachael Mulholland, 12. Laura Turner, 11. Nattalie Rooney; 10. Lauren McBride, 9. Emily Irving; 1. Michelle Nelson, 2. Lindsay Dick, 3. Louise McLauchlan; 4. Zoe Montgomerie, 5. Ashleigh Nelson; 6. Jackie O'Neil, 7. Lynsey Turner, 8. Lynda Morgan.

Replacements:
16. Gemma Swankie, 17. Alex Mailey, 18. Sarah Paterson, 19. Ann-Marie Connelly.

Kick-off 2pm!
