Peamount United v Galway WFC

Peamount United maintain their relentless pursuit of leaders Raheny United when they host Galway WFC at Greenogue on Sunday. The Galwegians gave Raheny a scare last week so will travel to Dublin with confidence.
Galway are without suspended Grainne Barrett but otherwise are at full strength and coach Nigel Keady is looking forward to the test against the Peas.
"This is another tough one for us. We'll take some positives out of last week. We were probably the better team for much of the game which is a good sign for us. Unfortunately we lost so there's no points for a moral victory. We created chances and defended better than we have recently," he said.
"I think Peamount and Raheny are very close as teams although Peamount have maybe one or two better individuals and they can score from nothing."
Peamount have been hit with the news that Sara Lawlor is out for the rest of the season with a torn ACL. "We still have a strong selection of forward players so we'll work with what we have. Last week was a tough game for us, Wexford defended well and were very determined," said Peamount boss Eileen Gleeson.
"I'm expecting another tough fixture on Sunday and it was a very competitive performance last week from them against Raheny so I expect them to try and get the win to make up for being unlucky to lose that one."
