Ipswich Town Women will play a friendly against WSL side Aston Villa’s U21s at the Martello Ground in Felixstowe on Sunday 17th August (KO 2pm).

The game is the second friendly announced - the Blues face Wolves at the same venue on Sunday 3rd August - with Joe Sheehan’s team also playing behind-closed-doors matches over the next few weeks prior to the start of the campaign proper on Sunday 6th September.

Newly promoted Town will learn their WSL2 fixtures when they’re released on Friday at 10am.

Westy added 15:40 - Jul 21 Great, but could this not have been arranged so as not to clash with the men's first home game (almost), who are kicking off at Portman Road at noon against Southampton.

Mark added 16:30 - Jul 21 It's only a warm up game against an U21 side, but I hope that during the season fixture clashes with the men are avoided. It is interesting that the friendlies are in Felixstowe rarher than Colchester. I wonder if the cup games could be played there too during the season.

slade1 added 07:24 - Jul 22 Its been nice while it lasted regarding playing at Felixstowe and good for the local fans to have the women's team on their doorstep but time moves on and the 'home' ground is now at Colchester. In my opinion, that's where the cup games should be played. The team do not want to be distracted by moving cup games to a different ground.
