Our Women’s first team start the season tonight against Salford City Lionesses. In the opening game of the season the girls will look to start the campaign under Jason Jarrett as they mean to go on.
Last week Salford were beaten 1-0 in a tough away opener against Tranmere Rovers. Salford endured a tough 2023/24 season finishing 10th in the North West Women’s Regional League (same division as Bury) picking up just 7 points fewer than Wednesday’s opponents, Bury.
In the sides most recent meeting it was Bury who came out on top with a convincing 4-0 victory in April in what was the side’s final match of the season. Early in the season, in Bury’s home fixture, Salford produced a second-half masterclass to earn a 5-0 win.
Amongst the summer signings to strengthen squad depth ahead of the new campaign include 16-year-old, latest arrival Leah Costello Eastwood, former Tottenham Hotspur defender Jordan Harding and 16-year-old forward Natalie Ainsworth who has looked like a confident goal scorer in pre-season.
Why not come down and support the girls at St Ambrose Barlow RC High School where this match against Salford will be taking place.
We hope to see you there tonight for what should be an interesting fixture that we hope Bury can come out on top of.
