DLR welcome high-flying Galway to Belfield this evening at 6pm aiming for their first victory of the season.
The Dublin side sit fifth in the table after the opening two rounds of games in the league. In comparison the Westerners lie second, two points adrift of the top spot and high-flying Shelbourne.
Galway will be traveling East on a high after scoring three goals in their last game, against another Dublin side Bohemians. The only dampener on what was a great result for them was the sending off late on of the very influential Chloe Singleton.
The DLR defensive unit will have to be in great form to keep out this Galway side, who just go out and attack from the opening whistle. Ex-Irish underage international Rachel Kearns has been influential for Galway in pressing from the front. She is now starting to find her feet in the league and could very easily end up being the top scorer in the division.
Clery’s side will be looking for the experienced Therese Kinnevey along side Savannah McCarthy to control the middle of the park and distribute the ball to Kearns along with McKey; both of whom got their names on the scoresheet in their last game.
The home side will be looking to goal scorer from the last game Carla McManus to add to her tally for the season. If she can get any supply, it will be very difficult for the away sides back line to keep that ball out of the net.
Whether Graham Kelly will make any tactical changes to his side is yet to be seen. As the home side they will need to go out and attack this game. This could be very difficult for the young side.
A counter attacking game could be the plan of action for the home side. Kerri Letmon will be looking to open her scoring for the season. If herself and the aforementioned McManus have their shooting boots on, we could be in for a very entertaining and high scoring game.
