Gareth Taylor’s side begin the 2023/24 campaign with a trip to West Ham on Sunday 1 October, with kick-off in London scheduled for 15:00 (UK).  

It represents our first competitive match since our 3-2 win over Everton at the Joie Stadium in May closed last term.

Since then, there’s been a phenomenal Women’s World Cup which saw the Club’s 14 representatives at the prestigious showpiece all reach the knockout stages for their respective nations and our meticulous pre-season schedule.  

Now, all attention is on our meeting with the Hammers as we applied the finishing touches to our plans ahead of travelling to the capital. 

Among the hard work from players and staff there was nothing but positive vibes in camp as we continued to give ourselves the best chance of collecting three points this weekend.  

Last time we faced Rehanna Skinner’s side goals from Chloe Kelly (two), Laura Coombs, Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw, Steph Houghton and Mary Fowler handed us a 6-2 victory after a pulsating meeting.
