On Friday evening Glentoran Women travel to the Bluebell Stadium, Lisburn to face Lisburn Ladies in the Sports Direct Ladies Premiership.
This will be the fourth time the teams have met this season and the third time at Lisburn. Glentoran won ties in the Toals County Antrim Cup and Electric Ireland Challenge Cup. In the previous league meeting, at Ashfield, a four goal first half burst from Rachel Rogan led the way to an 8-1 home win. The goals that night came from Rogan (4), Caragh Hamilton (2), Emily Wilson and a Kerry Beattie penalty.
The Electric Ireland Cup meeting was a fortnight ago when in terrible weather the Glens won 5-0 with goals from current Northern Ireland players Emily Wilson, Joely Andrews, Kerry Beattie (2) and Chloe McCarron.
With five games left the Glens still top the table, three points ahead of Cliftonville. Lisburn sit a very creditable 6th, having won 6 of their 13 games, including three of their last five. So the Glens squad won’t be taking anything for granted on Friday.
Kick Off at Bluebell Stadium is at 8.00pm.
