East Kilbride Pirates’ women’s flag team have once again secured a place in the national women’s flag football league finals this weekend at Ravenscraig.
The competition returns to Scotland for a second year on Saturday, giving the Pirates a home turf advantage they hope will work in their favour.
The Pirates women finished their regular season ranked the number three seed overall in the UK out of 14 teams, which qualified them for a place in the finals. Their placing earned them a ‘bye’ through the first round, and they will play either London Amazons or Grangemouth Fillies – the only other Scottish team in the conference – in the quarter-finals, with those sides battling out a preliminary tie beforehand.
