Table-topping Ipswich Town Women host Bridgwater United at the Goldstar Ground, Felixstowe this afternoon aiming to maintain their 100 per cent start to the season (KO 2pm).
The Tractor Girls are ahead of Southampton at the top of the FAWNL Southern Premier Division by three points but having played eight games to the Saints’ seven. The Blues have a chance to extend their lead further this weekend with Southampton again not in action.
Bridgwater, who have lost only once this season, are in third a point behind the Saints but having played nine matches.
"They’re a really good team, they’ve had some really good results,” manager Joe Sheehan said. "I think they’ve got some really good players and it will be a challenging game but one we’re really looking forward to.
"When it was announced that we were promoted, we were looking forward to playing in really competitive games because that really excites us, so we’re really looking forward to it.”
