“I’m delighted to make my 50th appearance in such an iconic game for the club,” said Alysha Corrigan, reflecting on her milestone achievement during a match that marks a new chapter for Saracens Women.
On March 28, 2026, Saracens Women faced Northampton Saints at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a venue that hosted the team for the first time. This match is part of the Gallagher PREM, Round 12, and comes after a challenging loss against Gloucester-Hartpury.
Corrigan’s 50th appearance is a significant milestone not only for her but also for the team as they aim to bounce back from recent setbacks. The Saracens Women are keen to demonstrate their resilience against a formidable opponent like Northampton Saints, who currently sit at the top of the Gallagher PREM table.
In their previous encounter, Northampton Saints secured a convincing victory over Saracens, winning 43-31. This history adds weight to the upcoming match, as Saracens look to avenge that defeat.
“It’s going to be a huge occasion against a side that will test us to our limits this weekend, so we’ll need to be at our best to get a result that befits the occasion,” Corrigan added, emphasizing the importance of the match.
Northampton Saints showcased their strength in their last game, with Archie McParland scoring a late try to seal their win. However, they also faced challenges, including an injury to Fin Smith during the match.
As the match approaches, Maro Itoje, the captain of Saracens, will lead his team into this crucial battle. The Saracens squad includes 18 players, with Sophie De Goede returning for her first appearance since October, adding depth to the team’s lineup.
Phil Dowson, the head coach of Northampton Saints, acknowledged his team’s performance, stating, “We played beautifully in the first 20 minutes, we just didn’t convert enough of those chances.” This sentiment reflects the competitive nature of the Gallagher PREM, where every point counts.
With the match set to kick off at 6 PM, all eyes will be on the pitch as Saracens Women strive to reclaim their position and showcase their growth as a team. The outcome will not only impact the standings but also the morale of the players as they move forward in the season.
As the teams prepare for this pivotal encounter, the excitement builds around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where history will be made for Saracens Women and their supporters.
