The Belfast club have won four of their last five in the division whilst top scorer Alyssa Jebb has netted five goals in her last two outings, bringing her season’s tally to 11.

Armagh come into the weekend in eighth place having failed to register a league win in their last nine outings.

During that time top goalscorer Lucy Campbell has scored five goals including a hat-trick away to Belfast Harlequins and brought her seasons tally to eight.
