Norwich City Women travel to Haywards Heath on Sunday, April 14, for a 2pm kick-off in Division One South East.

After Tuesday night's 6-0 win at The Nest against Cambridge City, the Canaries will be hopeful of maintaining the unbeaten league form at Hanbury Park Stadium.

The opposition

Sunday's opponents have had a tough season in Division One South East, sitting rock bottom with just four points to their name.

Their only victory in the campaign so far came against Chesham United in a 4-1 win at home. They also picked up a point against Cambridge United in a 2-2 draw, again on home turf.

May Goulden is the club's top scorer with four goals to her name.

Outside of the league, Nick Bolt has lead his team to cup victories against QPR (3-0) and Ashford Town (3-1).

Last time out

City hosted Town in the reverse fixture back in September in a game that ended 6-1 to the Canaries.

Rachel Lawrence was the star of the day, getting herself a hat-trick, alongside goals from Megan Todd, Natasha Snelling and Ellie Smith.

Sophie Phelps was on the scoresheet for Haywards Heath.

Head-to-head

The first recorded meetings between these two sides came in the 2018/19 season, where Haywards Heath, then known as Crawley Wasps, took the title and were promoted to the Southern Premier Division.

That season saw the Canaries lose out 6-0 and 8-0 in each fixture.

These two sides then met again back in October in 2022 at The Nest in the FAWNL Plate, where the Wasps ran out 4-1 winners. Olivia Cook was City's scorer, with goals from Holly Talbut-Smith, Selin Buyukgiray and Amelia Ajao (2) for the visitors.
