FC United women's team play final friendly against Crewe

With the new season just over a week away, FC United’s women’s team are preparing to play their final friendly before the big kick off, with a visit to Crewe Alexandra this Sunday. Those of you who’ve been to watch FC’s women play, will know that the squad is really starting to gel under the leadership of joint managers John Marsden and Lee Sutton.

Speaking to FC United’s enewsletter, The Pink this week, John said that he was happy with the way things have gone so far. "Like the first team, we deliberately arranged some pre-season games against higher league opposition as we think this will prepare us well for what we will face when the league season proper starts on Sunday 2nd September," he said. "Crewe are several leagues above us, but we saw with our recent winning performances against Irlam and Wigan that our squad is more than up for the challenge against teams of this calibre. Everyone is buzzing and we can’t wait for our first ever league game in the Greater Manchester Women’s Football League Division 1 on Sunday 2 September," said John.

The venue for Sunday’s game against Crewe Alexandra is the Alexandra Soccer Centre, Crewe Road, Shevington, CW2 5AF and the kick off time is 2pm. Come along if you can to support the newest of FC United’s teams.
