TEAM NEWS
No fresh injury concerns for the Blues ahead of the game. Head Coach Gary Hunt is hopeful of having some of his injured players return to action in the coming weeks.
GARY HUNT’S THOUGHTS
“We are delighted to finally get back to the RSC and welcome Peamount who have a fantastic history of success at this level. Last week on the road against Athlone was a tough evening. They make such good use of the big pitch with some exceptional players but it was a great learning opportunity for our young players to test themselves in that game.
Peamount are another strong footballing side and we will need to make sure that we work hard off the ball to give us a chance to compete in the game. We know our strengths at the moment and we have lots of areas we want to improve upon so this will be another chance to work on those.
I’m looking forward to seeing the Blues support this weekend to get behind the girls as we seen last time out versus DLR, it made all the difference.”
