The Danske Bank Women’s Premiership resumes on Monday night with the 12th round of fixtures with all eight teams in action.

Arguably the biggest clash of the evening comes at Ashfield Boys HS as Glentoran Women host Sion Swifts Ladies in a clash between two of the top four sides in the standings.

Elsewhere, league leaders Cliftonville Ladies travel to Mid Ulster Ladies as Linfield Ladies host Derry City Women and Lisburn Ladies take on Crusaders Strikers.

Glentoran Women vs Sion Swifts Ladies, Ashfield Boys HS, 7.45pm
This is a big test of Glentoran Women’s title credentials – they trail Cliftonville Ladies by eight points but have played one game fewer and were held at Sion Swifts Ladies earlier this season.

Sion have won two of their three league games since the mid-season break having won the Women’s Premiership League Cup in June and are just two points off Crusaders Strikers, in third.

Chloe McCarron earned a point for the Glens at Sion earlier in the season after Cora Chambers opened the scoring.

Linfield Ladies vs Derry City Women, Midgley Park, 7.45pm
Linfield Ladies have lost each of their last three league matches without scoring a goal and are in need of three points against Derry City Women if they are to push for a top half finish.

The Blues have won all previous 15 meetings between the two sides by an aggregate scoreline of 95-5, but Derry have scored in the last five meetings between the teams.

Tara O’Connor gave the Candystripes the lead against the Blues earlier in the season before three goals in the final 11 minutes from Emily Reid, Rhyleigh Marks and Ebony Lecky gave the Blues the points.

Mid Ulster Ladies vs Cliftonville Ladies, Mid Ulster Sports Arena, 7.45pm
Cliftonville Ladies have won all 10 league matches – scoring 46 goals and conceding just three, while Mid Ulster Ladies have picked up just one league point so far.

The Reds won the reverse fixture 8-0 earlier in the campaign as Louise McDaniel scored twice with Marissa Callaghan, Toni-Leigh Finnegan, Caitlin McGuinness, Megan Moran, Abbie Magee and Kelsie Burrows on the scoresheet.

Lisburn Ladies vs Crusaders Strikers, Bluebell Stadium, 8pm
Crusaders Strikers have won five of their last six league games – the other being a narrow loss to Cliftonville Ladies – while Lisburn Ladies have seven points from their last five matches.

This meeting earlier in the campaign with a seven-goal thriller as Emily Wilson netted a brace with Beth Chalmers scoring as Crusaders raced into a three-goal half-time lead.

Lisburn fought back with goals from Abbie Burnett and Sara Stevenson before late goals from Darcy Boyle and Faith Johnston wrapped up the points for the Crues.
