Tractor Girls Miss Out on Title as Saints Confirmed as Champions - Ipswich Town News
Ipswich Town Women have congratulated Southampton on winning the FAWNL Southern Premier Division title.
The Blues and Saints have vied at the top of the table all season but the Hampshire side secured top spot via a 2-0 home victory over local rivals Portsmouth last night.
Southampton's 2-1 victory over Town at the Goldstar Ground earlier this month was a decisive blow with the Blues subsequently drawing 1-1 at home to strugglers Chichester & and Selsey the following week.
The Saints will now face the winners of the FAWNL Northern Premier Division, Wolverhampton Wanderers, in a play-off for a place in the Women's Championship.
Town will look to confirm second place when they host Oxford, who are third, in their penultimate game of the season and their final home fixture of the campaign on Sunday.
