The Krakens are on the road on Saturday when they meet Bannockburn for the first time.

Mike Flavell's side are seeking their second win in their women's National Plate qualifying pool following their 116-0 rout against Dundee Valkyries 2nd XV in their opening fixture at Millbank.

Bannockburn will be looking to keep their hopes alive after going down 45-0 away to Lochaber. They play in Caley Midlands/East League 2.

The Krakens will be missing centre Lauren Gunn and forward Helen Richard but will be boosted by the inclusion of exiles Kirsty Robertson and Emily Flavell for the match at Bluebellwood Park.

In the other group match, Lochaber are away to the Valkyries on Sunday.
