Wolfhounds Look To Rebound Against Glasgow Warriors

There’s a fantastic double header of Celtic Challenge action at Kingspan Stadium on Saturday as the Clovers face off against the Gwalia Lightning and the Wolfhounds take on the Glasgow Warriors in Kingspan Stadium.

After their loss to the Clovers in Round 2, the Wolfhounds will be eager to bounce back with a strong performance against the Glasgow Warriors.

The Irish side led by Claire Boles will look to their experienced players to lead by example and drive them back to winning ways.

Head Coach Neil Alcorn has made a number of changes to the startling line up with Katie Corrigan, a standout player from last year’s tournament, starting at 14 and Erin McConnell getting her chance to impress at 9.
