The 2019 Danske Bank Women's Premiership Champions have been handed the tough task of RSC Anderlecht in the UEFA Champions League Qualifying Round.
This will be the second consecutive year the sides have met in the competition after the Belgians came out 3-1 winners in the group stage last season held in Belgian with now departed Kirsty McGuinness scoring from the penalty spot at the Van Roystadion in front of 551 attendees.
Although severely depleted this season due to many of the clubs star players moving across the water to a higher level of football, this could provide the perfect platform for the next batch of club stars to shine. Losing players such as Louise McDaniel at Hearts, Chloe McCarron at Birmingham City Ladies, Lauren Perry at Forfar Farminghton Ladies and the formidable scoring prowess of the McGuinness sisters to Sion Swifts Ladies will have a big impact, however with Abbie Magee, Rebecca McKenna and Casey Howe in fine form this season the four in a row Danske Bank Women's Premiership Champions cannot be wrote off at any level.
