Forest Green Rovers Women travel to Ilminster Town Ladies on Sunday, September 1, for their first league game of the season. 

The women’s team have come off the back of a successful pre-season. The manager Joe Manns said, “We have a lot of respect for Ilminster but we are confident in ourselves due to our good preparations in pre-season. TNS aside, we have performed well both offensively and defensively, and are really starting to gel as a team”

Their opponents this weekend won the South West Regional Western Division title last season to earn promotion to the Premier Division.
