Tractor Girls in Friendly Action at Wolves - Ipswich Town News
Ipswich Town Women play their final friendly of pre-season away against Wolves at New Bucks Head this afternoon (KO 2pm).
The Tractor Girls will be looking for a return to winning ways having been beaten 2-0 at home by Women’s Championship side Charlton Athletic in their previous friendly a fortnight ago.
Wolves play in the FA Women's National League Northern Premier Division and last season topped the table before losing to Southampton, who won the Southern Premier Division in which Town were third, in the play-offs.
Town get their 2022/23 season proper under way in a week's time when they host Portsmouth at the AGL Arena, Felixstowe.

McKenna: An Inevitable DecisionTown boss Kieran McKenna says it was an ‘inevitable decision’ for referee Stephen Martin to abandon the Blues’ match at Blackburn Rovers and expects to return to Ewood Park to restage the contest.
Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
