Peterborough United Women continue their league programme with a trip to South Yorkshire to face Barnsley on Sunday (2pm). 

Peterborough United Women will be looking to pull further away at the top of the FAWNL Division One Midlands when they face the Reds at the weekend.

Jake Poole’s team have been a dominant force from front to back, having scored 37 goals in their opening eight league games this season, while only conceding once a game on average across this stretch.

Barnsley have slipped to one defeat this season, coming away to Boldmere St Michaels, while also drawing on the road at Sutton Coldfield, putting the Reds five points behind us in second spot.

TEAM NEWS 

Striker Tara Kirk is nearing full fitness and will provide a different option for manager Jake Poole in attack. Lauren Wilshaw has been added to the squad after missing the win over Leafield Athletic. 

MANAGER QUOTES  

"They’re a good team and have some good, really standout players that we know will cause us problems. We know we’re in for a tough challenge, but we’re on a good run of form at the moment and we’re keen to continue that this weekend," Jake Poole said.
