Bus Eireann Women’s National League top scorer, Stephanie Roche is also included along with Cherelle Khassal who impressed on her debut appearance in Switzerland.

Sue Ronan said ‘The squad is improving all the time and we now have a great mix of youth and experience. We had a good run out against Switzerland last month and that will stand to us for these matches. We know what we need to do after losing in Edinburgh but we have real quality in this side and the girls are full of belief, If we get a large, vocal home crowd then there is no reason why we can’t get the points that we need from these matches.’
