Tractor Girls Host Portsmouth on Opening Day - Ipswich Town News
Ipswich Town Women will start their second FA Women’s National League Southern Premier Division campaign with a home game against Portsmouth on Sunday 21st August.
Town failed to beat Pompey last season, in which they ultimately finished third having been frontrunners for much of the year, a 1-0 defeat in Hampshire on the final day in May following a 1-1 draw in Suffolk in January.
After the Pompey clash, the Tractor Girls, who play their home matches at Felixstowe & Walton’s ground, now known as the AGL Arena, travel to Gillingham the following Saturday before a visit to newly-promoted Billericay on Wednesday 31st August.
The final weekend of September sees another double-header at Plymouth, as was the case last season, with the men's team playing on the Saturday and the women on the Sunday.
The Tractor Girls' league season ends with Cheltenham visiting the AGL Arena on the final day, Sunday 30th April.
