Ipswich Town Women head into Wednesday’s East Anglian Derby against Norwich City looking for redemption.
Last season the Tractor Girls were beaten twice by the Canaries under previous manager Carla Dickinson, but fast forward twelve months and a lot has changed for the Blues.

Since his appointment in February, Town boss Joe Sheehan has continued to drive the club forward towards the long-term goal of reaching the WSL.

A strong summer of recruitment saw the arrivals of four new first-team players including marquee signing Blue Wilson from Manchester City and an incredibly talented batch of youngsters join Town’s elite Under 21’s programme.

The Tractor Girls go into the East Anglian Derby sitting third in the table following a 1-1 draw with expected promotion rivals AFC Wimbledon and a commanding 4-0 victory over Kent Football United.

Norwich however, are sitting ninth in the table after succumbing to a heavy 4-1 defeat at home to Stevenage on Sunday.


Town are targeting a record crowd of over 500 supporters for their home Derby and are calling on Ipswich fans to get behind them at the Goldstar Ground on Wednesday night.

Entry is FREE for ITFC season ticket holders and Under 16’s, with ticket prices for non season ticket holders priced at £3 for adults and £1 for concessions.

Gates will open at 6:15pm and the Tractor Girls are urging supporters to don their blue shirts and make their presence felt as they attempt to regain the bragging rights.

​Felixstowe’s bar and kitchen will also be open for supporters wishing to purchase refreshments.


Men’s first-team players James Norwood and Luke Woolfenden are also expected to be among several Ipswich Town players in attendance showing their support for their female counterparts.
