15 mins to K.O.: It’s perfect weather tonight at CCK Stadium. In MW1, ALBWT lost to LCSWT 2-1, largely due to deficiencies in goalkeeping; GIWT gave away an equaliser to draw with HUWT. Both teams will be looking to get their title challenge back on track with a W tonight.
2 hrs to K.O.: An acclimatised ALBWT No.18 Ruriko Takashima is going to steamroll GIWT all by herself — it’s not going to be pretty.
