Game Of The Week

Shamrock Rovers vs Peamount United – Tallaght Stadium, Saturday 21 March, 12:45pm

Two of the league’s strongest sides meet early in the season as Shamrock Rovers host Peamount United at Tallaght Stadium. Rovers come into the game off the back of an impressive opening-day win over Cork City, while Peamount were involved in a high-scoring draw with Bohemians. This clash could give an early indication of how the top end of the table may shape up.

Player To Watch

Sarah McKevitt – Bohemians

McKevitt scored a brace last Saturday in their 2-2 draw against Peamount United and Cork City will need to be wary of the threat she posseses infront of goal at Dalymount Park on Saturday afternoon.
