In Norwich City Women's final home game of the season, the Canaries host AFC Sudbury Women at The Nest in a Division One South East fixture.

The fixture kicks off at The Nest at 2pm on Sunday, April 21.

After picking up a point on the road against Haywards Heath last week, the Canaries will be hoping to return to winning ways against the Suds this weekend.

The opposition

Also known as the Yellows, Luke Mallet’s side earned themselves promotion from the Premier Division Eastern Region Women's Football League at the conclusion of the 2022/23 season.

The club's top scorers of that campaign were Evie Creaton and new City recruit Holly Kennard, with a combined total of 42 goals.

Sat in 10th place with 16 points, Sudbury have sealed their place in Division One South East for next season, following the relegation of Haywards Heath and Cambridge City.

They picked up wins over Haywards Heath (3-1 and 2-0), Cambridge City (2-1) and Chesham United (5-1), alongside four draws.

Last time out

Norwich City travelled to Suffolk for the reverse fixture on the opening day of the 2023/24 season back in August.

Kathryn Stanley was on the scoresheet first, poking a ball home from Ceri Flye on the right wing. Substitute Creaton then levelled the score with 20 minutes on the clock.

In the 96th minute, Norwich were awarded a free-kick right on the edge of the penalty area and it was Freya Symonds who stepped up and beautifully dispatched the set-piece to secure all three points.
