Town to Take Control of Women's Team - Ipswich Town News
TWTD understands that the club are set to take control of Ipswich Town Ladies FC next season. The women’s team was previously run and funded by the ITFC Charitable Trust.
With the FA withdrawing the licence for the Charitable Trust’s Girls’ Centre of Excellence, the senior side is now outside the Trust’s overall charitable remit of providing education for young people and might have folded.
ITLFC met with the club earlier this week and Town are looking at ways in which they can provide their funding for the season ahead, understood to be around £8,000-a-year, in part by finding sponsorship.
Ipswich Town Ladies were third in the South East Women's Combination League in 2011/12.
