A look ahead to the FA Women’s National League clash against Leafield Athletic Ladies at Castle Vale Football Stadium on Sunday afternoon (3pm).
Peterborough United Women return to league action this weekend as they travel to the Castle Vale Stadium on Sunday afternoon (3pm) to face Leafield Athletic in a top of the table clash in the FAWNL Division One Midlands.
Jake Poole’s side remain unbeaten in the league having most recently won 6-1 at the end of last month against Lincoln United at Deeping Rangers FC. Last weekend, they secured a place in the Second Round of the Adobe FA Women’s Cup following a 4-2 penalty shoot-out win against Tier 3 side Billericay Town.
Oppenents Leafield are currently one point and once place behind league leaders Posh after having won eight of their opening nine league games this campaign. They won their Adobe FA Women’s Cup fixture last weekend 3-1 against Tier 3 side Derby County. Leafield have already accumulated more points than last campaign as a whole, showing the impressive progress they have made as a club.
Team News
Assistant Manager Georgia Clarke confirmed ahead of the weekend that they have a clean bill of health in the squad.
New signing Kayleigh Hines could make her first appearance for the club following her move from Loughborough Lightning earlier this week.
Leafield Head Coach Tash Tezgel made several signings during pre-season including former Stourbridge defender Sophie Heaselgrave, Tier 3 midfielder Cheyanne Jarvis and experienced player Hayley Crackle.
From The Coach
Assistant Manager Georgia Clarke said: “Leafield have had a brilliant start and had a really good result against Derby in the FA Cup on Sunday, which will obviously give them a massive confidence boost as we had too.
"We know we will be going there for a tough fixture but we are confident if we execute the game plan well, we know we can go and compete. It’s about taking the moments when they come; whether that’s taking a shot or making a good save.”
One To Watch
Forward Evangeline Gallop has been in hot form this season, having netted 10 goals in 11 appearances this campaign.
Last Time Out
The sides last met in the penultimate game of last season where they drew 1-1 at Abbey Lawn. Seanna McCann-Lloyd netted early for Leafield before substitute Zaiga Lacite equalised late on.
