The FA Women's Super League (WSL) will kick off in style this week with a hotly anticipated Merseyside derby.
Liverpool Ladies FC play host to their local rivals, Everton Ladies on Thursday 14 April at Skelmersdale United’s ground.
The brand new FA WSL launches this week [14 April 2011] and eight teams from across the country, including Arsenal and Chelsea, will compete for the title.
The derby will be the first league game that Liverpool Ladies have played since May 2010, after lifting the Northern Division title.
Liverpool Ladies Manager, Robbie Johnson, said: “We can’t wait to get started, it’s been a long time since our last game and we’re raring to go.
“We’re looking forward to the match, particularly as it’s the Merseyside derby, and as the first game of the season we’re hoping to get off to a good start and pick up all three points.
“Everton are a great side and are going to prove a tough test for us. Nevertheless, the team is feeling confident about our league chances this season, they’re training hard and ready to go. We’re in the semi-finals of the F.A. Cup and we’ll be challengers this season.”
Tickets are priced at £4.50 and children accompanied by adults receive free admission. Tickets are available at www.liverpoolladiesfc.co.uk or on match day.
Kick-off is at 7.45pm at Skelmersdale United FC.
