United faced DLR Waves in the UCD Bowl back in April, coming away with three points after Gemma McGuinness and Jenna Slattery struck early on to put United ahead.

Phil Trill spoke to the media team in relation to Saturday’s game and highlighted the importance of local support:

🗣 Phil Trill: "It's massive, this weekend is a really good opportunity for the people of Galway to show their support like they did in the All-Island Cup and to get behind these ladies. The standard of football they're playing is excellent and we really want people to get into Eamonn Deacy Park and get behind the team"
