Teams announced for BT Women’s Premier League title decider

Murrayfield Wanderers will go head-to-head with Hillhead Jordanhill in a winner-takes-all clash at BT Murrayfield this weekend to determine who will be crowned BT Women’s Premier League Champions. Wandies have recorded impressive performances over Stewartry and RHC Cougars in recent rounds of competition with the Edinburgh side hoping to claim their third consecutive league title.Scotland Women captain and Wandies playmaker, Lisa Martin, said: “It would be a fantastic achievement for the squad to win three consecutive titles as it would really show what a full effort this season has been.Sunday will be a great experience and special moment for the younger members of our squad and we hope we can come out on top as the best women’s club team in Scotland.””We will look to play to our strengths, using the pace available from our back three and the power associated with our forwards, while also displaying an offloading game.The sides last met in December when Hills overcame Wandies 27-5 at home, resulting in the Glasgow side sitting one point ahead of the defending champions after their win combined with recent victories over RHC Cougars and Stewartry.Scotland Women international and Hills number 8, Jade Konkel, said: “We’ve been training on the 3G pitch at Scotstoun in readiness for Sunday and had former Glasgow Warriors captain and Scotland international Alastair Kellock take a line-out session this week as part of our preparations.The squad is high on confidence and top of the league table, which means we will continue to stick with our team structures and play a fast-attacking game.”It would be brilliant to overcome defending champions Wandies at home and to win the league after coming so close in recent seasons.  BT Women’s Premier League title decider, Sunday 15 January, BT Murrayfield 4G pitch (kick-off 2pm) Murrayfield Wanderers: Chloe Rollie; Christina Newton, Eilidh Sinclair, Helen Nelson, Eva Rojas; Lisa Martin, Jenny Taylor; Sarah Quick CAPTAIN, Lucy Park, Beth Dickens, Emma Wassell, Sarah McCormack, Ciara O’Driscoll, Jennifer Cram, Rachel Cook.
