Both the Clovers and Wolfhounds earned bonus point wins in the opening round of the Celtic Challenge before Christmas and will be aiming to build on that positive start.
King joins a Wolfhounds side that has three changes from the side that took to the field against Edinburgh with Linda Djougang and Stacey Flood both starting, having come on from the bench in the first game.
The Clovers also make three changes to their starting team withSiobhán McCarthy and Beth Buttimer coming into the front row and Emily Foley onto the wing.The clash promises to be an exciting affair with both sides each taking a win in last season’s competition – the Wolfhounds winning 33-07 in round one before the Clovers turned the tables with a 31-10 win in the following round.
The game kicks off at 3pm in Creggs RFC on Saturday 3rd of January.
Tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster here and the game will be shown by TG4 also.
