"We had our game against Port Vale here last season in what was a great occasion despite the result so to be able to start our season here is a great opportunity for the girls to showcase how far they have come from last season until now.
"It’s really encouraging that the football club are backing the women’s team with more games at the Bescot and with the backroom staff that have come on board and the players we have brought in and retained over pre-season, it’s all been very positive and I’m looking forward to getting back into action."
