Ayr Ladies v Cartha Ladies preview

Ayr Ladies make their debut in the BT Premier League tonight as they welcome Cartha Ladies to Millbrae, kicking off at 7.45pm.

It's been a long pre-season for the ladies, and they are eager to get into competition and test themselves against the best teams in the country.

There are several players making their debuts under the Friday night lights, including centre Catriona Cowan and second row Joanne Jones.

Flanker Laura McTaggart makes her return from a spell away, and number eight Lisa Croniken pulls on a pink and black jersey instead of a dark blue one after her trip to Lichfield RFC with the senior Scotland side.
