Posh Women Under 23s finish 2024 with away trip to The Magpies.

Ella Boden is The Magpies’ current top scorer with five goals from seven matches.
From The Gaffer
Allsebrook said: “Up until the game was abandoned last week, we were generally pleased with the performance against Stoke. We missed some really good chances to go ahead in the game and on another day we take them. But football is a game of taking opportunities at the right moments and to be fair to Stoke they punished our errors. However, we felt as though we caused them enough trouble with our press out of possession to potentially work our way back in the game.
“This Sunday is the final game before the Christmas break and a really tough test against a good Notts County side. They have done well this season and it will provide to be a real challenge. Last time we played them they had eight first team players in their line-up and we stood up to them really well. This weekend, we have to show the commitment and tactical discipline to perform away from home. We have spoken as a group this week about how we prepare ourselves to perform at our best in an unfamiliar environment so we will see how we go.”
