The new FA Women’s Premier League season starts this weekend as clubs in the Northern and Southern divisions of the second tier of the Women’s game in the UK take the first step on what they hope will be a successful campaign.
Traditionally played following the footballing calendar we are all used to, WPL will of course be joined by the Women’s Super League from this year as that competition moves to a September-May schedule.
Sheffield FC, Brighton & Hove Albion and Tottenham Hotspur have gained promotion to the WSL in recent seasons and a number of ambitious clubs will have plans to break into those ranks in 2018, the winner of a play-off between the Northern and Southern champions determining that.
Pleasingly, Gillingham Ladies will be running out at Priestfield this season and admission for this Sunday’s opener against West Ham, kick-off 2pm, is free to enter although a donation of £2 to official charity partner, Take Heart Mercy Mission, will be very welcome.
There is free entry to C&K Basildon Ladies home game against Chichester City at the home of Canvey Island FC, kick-off also 2pm on Sunday.
