Gerry Gallacher and his side got off to the best possible start last week, defeating Drumchapel United 6-0 at Mountblow to kick off the season.
Gemma Russell, now wearing the number 9 shirt, bagged four goals in the opening 20 minutes before Gemma Smith and Caitlyn Connelly rounded off a resounding victory over a side that had caused them issues last season.
Gallacher and his coaching team will be without Mya Logan who is unavailable, whilst assistant coach Kenny McInnes confirmed that Sophie Reid and Casey-Leigh Findlay are facing last fitness tests ahead of the match, with Reid going off injured vs the Drum last Sunday.
Niamh McAleer is ready to go despite going off last weekend as well, and she, along with the full defence and goalkeeper Kira Swallow will be looking to keep another clean sheet today.
Our opponents for today are West Park United, led by Kirsty Cunningham, they will provide a tough task for the Daughters.
They finished in 7th place in last year’s SWFL West, one place behind ourselves, despite the 11-point gap.
The girls defeated Utd on the opening day of last season’s league campaign, winning 5-2 at Mountblow, before a disappointing 0-0 draw at Huntershill in February between the sides.
