The Barclays FA Women’s Super League kicks off this weekend with plenty of Irish interest.  A host of current Republic of Ireland women’s national team players will be involved including Arsenal FC’s Katie McCabe, Brighton & Hove Albion’s Megan Connolly, Aston Villa’s Ruesha Littlejohn and Birmingham City’s Louise Quinn.

There will be extensive coverage of the league with matches featuring on BBC and on Sky Sports.

Sky alone will show 35 games exclusively live.  It was their presence at the birth of the Men’s Premier League in 1992, also sponsored by Barclays, that was the catalyst for the massive growth the League has delivered over the past three decades.

This could be the start of something very special.

The season kicks off with Manchester United against Reading with a 7:45 PM Kick off.

The current Sky Sports Barclays FA WSL presenter lineup is led by presenter Caroline Barker and includes expert pundit Karen Carney and reporter Lynsey Hooper with commentators Jacqui Oatley and Seb Hutchinson.

Jessica Creighton will be the host of the brand new Inside the WSL show due to premiere on 9th September.

The FA has an excellent club by club guide to the competition which is well worth a look.
