1pm Irish time is the kick-off for Vera Pauw's side's second game.

The Republic of Ireland's women's football team continue their World Cup adventure this afternoon.

The Girls in Green need at least a draw against Olympic champions Canada to keep their hopes of progressing out of Group B alive. 

Louise Quinn and Ballinasloe's Heather Payne are both in races to be fit for the game. 

Chelsea's Jessie Fleming may return for Canada after missing their opening game with a calf problem.

Speaking to the media yesterday manager Vera Pauw said their objective is simple.

That game in Perth kicks off at 1 o'clock Irish Time.
