Ipswich Town Women and AFC Sudbury Women’s 2024/25 FA Women’s National League fixtures revealed with away starts
Both Ipswich Town Women and AFC Sudbury Women will kick off their 2024/25 FA Women’s National League campaigns with away fixtures.
Sudbury became only the second Suffolk club to enter the FA Women’s National League ahead of last season and managed to retain their Tier 4 status as well as celebrating victory in the MH Goals Suffolk Women’s Cup final at Ipswich Town’s Portman Road in May to cap off as memorable campaign.
And this time around they will start their Division One South East campaign on the road, away to Chatham Town at Maidstone Sports Ground on Sunday, August 18. Their opening-day opponents were relegated from Ipswich’s league having played the Tractor Girls in a historic first women’s league fixture at Portman Road in March.
The first visitors of the new term to The MEL Group Stadium will be Queens Park Rangers – who finished fifth last season – the following weekend, on August 25.
Norwich City, who finished second in 23/24, will be in south Suffolk under the lights on Tuesday, August 24 (7.45pm) with the reverse fixture AFC’s only other scheduled evening fixture, at The Nest in Horsford on Tuesday, February 11 (7.45pm).
The campaign for Luke and Stefan Mallett’s side will come to a close away at London Seaward on April 27.
The final home fixture preceding that will be Dulwich Hamlet, newly promoted along with Real Bedford, on April 13.
For Joe Sheehan’s Ipswich Town Women, another season in the Southern Premier Division – having finished fourth last term – begins away to Oxford United on Sunday, August 18 (2pm).
The first home game, at Felixstowe & Walton United FC, comes the following weekend on August 25 with the visit of a Hashtag United side who finished second last time out.
New sides in the division are relegated outfits Lewes and Watford with the former the second visitors to Suffolk, on September 8. Watford come to Felixstowe on October 6.
Town visit AFC Wimbledon and host Plymouth in March, with the league schedule completed in April with a visit to MK Dons and a home game with Cheltenham Town on the final day of the season.
