Ipswich Town Women’s first-round FAWNL Cup tie against Hashtag United will now be played at Aveley’s Parkside ground on Sunday following an agreed fixture reversal (KO 2pm).
The game was originally set to be played last Sunday with the Tractor Girls at home, however, the tie moved to this weekend but with the Blues’ usual home venue, Felixstowe & Walton United’s AGL Arena, unavailable.
Town beat QPR 7-0 away in the determining round of the competition, while the Tags, who are currently unbeaten at the top of FAWNL Division One South East, the league below the Blues, defeated Ashford Town by the same scoreline.
The teams last met on the opening day of the 2020/21 season when Lucy Egan’s volley saw the Blues to a 1-0 victory at home.
Former Blues Amy-Leigh Abrehart and Sasha Adamson are current members of Essex-based Hashtag's squad.
Meanwhile, the Tractor Girls will travel to face Luton Town in the first round of the Vitality Women’s FA Cup, the Hatters having beaten AFC Sudbury 4-1 at home in their third-round qualifying tie on Sunday.
The first-round tie will take place at Sharpenhoe Road on Sunday 13th November at 1pm with the Blues’ league fixture London Bees will be rearranged.
