Match Preview | Cambridge United Women v Norwich City Women

Norwich City Women travel to St Neots Football Club for an FAWNL Division One South East fixture against Cambridge United on Sunday, January 14 (KO 2pm).

Norwich City Women travel to St Neots Football Club for an FAWNL Division One South East fixture against Cambridge United on Sunday, January 14 (KO 2pm).

Following the postponement of City's fixture against London Seaward last week, this will be the Canaries opening fixture of 2024.

A win for AFC Wimbledon on Sunday saw the gap widen at the top of the table, keeping the battle for promotion to the Southern Premier Division well and truly alive.

Martin Herdman will hope to continue his side's unbeaten streak for the 2023/24 season in this weekend's East Anglian matchday, as the Canaries remain the only team unbeaten in the division.

The Opposition

United will host the Canaries from sixth in the table, with 19 points taken in five wins, four draws and three losses.

Darren Marjoram has guided his team to wins over Haywards Heath (4-0), Actonians (2-1), Ashford Town (4-3), London Seaward (1-0) and Chesham United (4-1).

An injury-time equaliser from Haywards Heath meant Cambridge had to settle for a point in their most recent league fixture.

Top-scorer Alysha Stojko-Down thought she had secured victory for the Us in the 88th minute making it 2-1, but a long-range effort from Amelia Halawi in the 93rd minute left the game all square and the points shared.

Last Time Out

Nothing could separate the two sides back in September, where a 1-1 draw was played out at Carrow Road.

Megan Todd grabbed the equaliser from the spot in the 47th minute, after Isabella Simmons had initially put the visitors ahead inside half an hour.

Head to Head

The Canaries have already made the trip to St Neots Town once this season in the determining round of the FAWNL League Cup, where the Yellows ran out 5-0 winners. Goals from Shannon Shaw (2), Natasha Snelling (2) and Jodie Drake secured a place in the next round last August.

Across 18 meetings since 2014, Norwich have won eight fixtures, Cambridge have taken all three points on eight occasions and two games have ended in 1-1 draws.
