Suffolk FA Girls’ & Women’s Football Development Officer Rebecca Bolton said: “I have really enjoyed the last four Wednesday evenings watching the teams play. 

“We have had some brand new ladies’ teams playing within the competition this year who are getting ready to take part in the Suffolk Girls’ & Women’s Football League this coming season. 

“It was great to see so many women enjoying their football. It was also great to see some fantastic support from family and friends each week.”
