The local girls have won all of their first five Div One games to date but won’t have it easy against recently relegated Coleraine.

They need to finish top to secure automatic promotion while second place enters a play-off.

“We’re hoping for another home win as we havent been beaten at home in the league or cups all season so far,” said Head Coach hayden Davis.

“Three points from this match would be very important to us as they would keep us top of the league and open the gap even further between us and third placed Coleraine.

“They’re an experienced team though. They got relegated down from the Championship last season and will be used to playing against stronger teams. Obviously they’re planning to try and bounce back up again this season so we’ll have to fight it out with them.”

Lisburn will welcome back Northern Ireland U17 goalkeeper Jessica Poots, who missed their County Antrim Cup defeat to Ballymena United All-Stars due to exams.
