Ulster Women for Connacht

The Women’s Interpro’s are back this weekend with Ulster travelling to Galway for a crunch game against Connacht on Saturday afternoon at the Sportsground. KO 2:30pm.

Neither side has posted a win this series so both will be pushing hard to avoid the wooden spoon, but it’s going to be a big ask for the Ulster side who have been ravaged by injuries this last week. Out of the squad drop Claire Knipe, Zoe Templeton, Brigid Reynolds and Shirelle Wilson who join long term injuries Eliza Downey and Brenda Brogan in the treatment room, but one persons misfortune is another’s opportunity, and Sorcha Chipperfield, Gemma McCutcheon, Rachel Lennox and Natasha Miligan join the squad for the first time this season, all starting from the bench.

Lennox and Miligan bring the City of Derry representation to six, a fair representation of their successful season, and Chipperfield will be the third Quins player to take the field for the ambitious Belfast side. However of particular interest will be young Gemma McCutcheon who produced a strong second half performance last weekend for Enniskillen after taking a first half battering from Derry’s Diane Nixon. It’s a big step . . .
