George Eastwell has named his squad for Saturday's visit of Southampton Ladies
Jersey Reds Women Head Coach George Eastwell has the luxury of being able to announce a 20-player squad ahead of their home opener this weekend against Southampton Ladies.
After a recent spate of concussion injuries from their previous outing, the strength of the women's squad will be tested to it's maximum this week against the visitors who won their first game against the Reds' previous victors Basingstoke.
Despite injuries to a number of key players affecting the squad, Eastwell is able to welcome into the back-line Sophie Lee, Pippa Donovan and Sapphire De La Haye, with Paris Ozouf also making her opening appearance of the season in the front-row.
The fixture will be played on Pitch 1 at Stade Santander International on Saturday with kick-off at 12pm.
