Norwich City Women are back at The Nest for the third consecutive game, hosting AFC Sudbury in a mid-week Division One South East fixture.

Norwich City Women are back at The Nest for the third consecutive game, hosting AFC Sudbury in a mid-week Division One South East fixture.

The match takes place on Tuesday, February 17, in a 7.45pm kick-off.

City will be looking to return to winning ways following a narrow defeat to Fulham in their last FAWNL outing.

Freya Symonds opened the scoring early on but the visitors hit back through Becky Stormer before the break.

Ellie Olds put Fulham in front on the hour and Faith Harrison netted City's equaliser with 10 minutes left on the clock before a lengthy break in play due to a serious injury to Fulham captain Jade Bradley.

After 30 minutes off the pitch, Fulham found the winner in the 10th minute of injury time, Hannah Mackenzie the scorer.

The Opposition

Luke Mallet’s side arrive to Norwich struggling in 11th, six points from safety.

Sudbury have one win and four draws under their belt so far this season, beating Dulwich Hamlet 4-1 in November and picking up draws against Luton Town, London Bees, MK Dons and Chesham United.

Despite their league positioning, Sudbury have been unfortunate on plenty of occasions to only lose by a one-goal deficit.

Outside of league action, the Suffolk side are progressing at speed through the County Cup, beating Stowupland Falcons 20-0 and earning an away walkover in the following round.

Last Time Out

The Canaries came out on top in a 5-2 win in the reverse fixture at the Elite Travel Stadium back in October.

After a tightly-contested first half that ended 2-2, City dug in and put three more past the Suds in the final five minutes of the game.

Grace Riglar was on the scoresheet twice alongside Olivia Cook, Natasha Snelling and Holly Kennard.
