Shelbourne striker Saoirse Noonan will enjoy a swift reunion with her former teammates when she faces Cork City in a historic Women’s National League game tomorrow — as the City women settle into their new home in Turner’s Cross.

Noonan joined Shels from City ahead of the current campaign as she eyes progress towards a senior Ireland cap and has also parked her Ladies football career with Cork for at least this season.
