Norwich City Women are straight back in action this weekend as they travel to Actonians for their final away fixture of the 2024/25 Division One South East season.

Norwich City Women are straight back in action this weekend as they travel to Actonians for their final away fixture of the 2024/25 Division One South East season.

The match takes place at Rectory Park in a 2pm kick-off on Sunday, April 13.

Following a win in the Harrod Sport Women's Cup semi-final on Wednesday night, the Canaries will be looking to continue what has been a positive run in 2025.

A single goal from Issy Moore sealed the win to send Norwich to the final, where they will face Mulbarton Wanderers at Carrow Road in May.

Andy Cook's side have won almost every game since January, only drawing against top-of-the-table Real Bedford.

The last league outing ended in a 2-1 win for the Canaries against London Bees, keeping them within five points of the league leaders.

The Opposition

Sunday's hosts are currently sitting mid-table in sixth, with 31 points after nine wins, four draws and seven losses.

In their most recent outing, they dominated already relegated London Seaward 6-0 on the road, Alessandra Barreca netting a hat-trick and Hana Lalani scoring a brace.

Before the six-goal rout, Actonians' form had suffered at the hands of the top half of the table and Chesham United, as they failed to pick up a point in four consecutive games.

A win for the Blues this weekend could take them up to fifth, should QPR fail to beat Cambridge United.

Last time out

These two sides have already met twice this season, most recently in the reverse fixture at The Nest that finished 2-1 to the visitors.

Lalani put Actonians in the lead after just 10 minutes with a low shot from outside the area.

City hit back after 29 minutes, Eloise Morran netting her first league goal of the 2024/25 campaign, lobbing Elisa Dogor in goal.

Actonians then responded again, immediately restoring their lead through Amina Haniff from kick-off.

Head-to-head

Since 2015, there have been 18 meetings between the two sides, the Canaries claiming six wins, Actonians with 12 and there has been no draws.
