Town Women to Face Manchester City If They Beat Cherries - Ipswich Town News

Ipswich Town Women will travel to face Women’s Super League Manchester City in the Adobe Women’s FA Cup fourth round if they beat AFC Bournemouth in their rearranged third round tie.

The Blues and Cherries were due to meet yesterday but the game succumbed to the weather.

If Town win the rescheduled game, which will be played this coming Sunday at the Martello Ground, Felixstowe, then they will travel to take on City, currently second in the WSL, for the second time in six years, having been beaten 10-0 away in a fifth round tie in February 2020, widely viewed as the biggest game in the women’s club’s history.

The fourth round tie will take place over the weekend of 11th and 12th January.
