With preparations underway for TUWFC following a successful 2021/22 campaign, six pre-season friendlies have been announced for Steve Elswood’s Women’s side
United Women begin their Pre-Season campaign on the road, where they will face FAW Women’s Cup winners Cardiff City on Sunday 10th July, before hosting Portishead Town two weeks later on Sunday 24th July.
Elswood’s side then travel to Cornwall for a friendly against Liskeard Athletic on Sunday 31st July, and their fourth fixture will see United take on Devon neighbours Plymouth Argyle Women U23s, who finished second in the Western Division last season, on Sunday 7th August.
Their penultimate game of the friendly fixtures on Sunday 14th August sees the side welcome Welsh opposition Barry Town, before the schedule is concluded with a clash with Dorset side Weymouth Town on Sunday 21st August, with the venue TBC.
TUWFC manager Steve Elswood is pleased with the friendlies his side have lined up, with all of the opposition sides featuring above United Women in the league structure, providing a challenge ahead of the upcoming campaign.
“I’ve been working on these for a few weeks to be fair.
“The first one (Cardiff) is probably the highlight, they were two leagues above us coming into last year – there’s a nice mix,” he said.
Following on from their success both on and off the pitch last season, Steve is looking to continue this in the upcoming campaign, and highlighted the importance of supporters, and the local community.
“Our development alongside the Club is all about the fans, and it’s all about the community – we will be doing everything we can do on and off the pitch to build that,” said Steve.
