SAINTS Women have confirmed a tough pre-season schedule ahead of their debut season in the Championship, including four matches.
Marieanne Spacey-Cale’s side will travel to Scotland on a pre-season tour from July 14-17, testing themselves against Scottish Women’s Premier League Celtic whilst they’re there.
Celtic, who host Saints on Saturday, July 16, finished third in the top division last campaign, while Saints will face Championship outfit Charlton Athletic on Sunday, July 24.
They welcome fellow Championship team Lewes in the only home clash of the four, at AFC Totton on Sunday, July 31.
Saints will then finish their pre-season against a Women’s Super League side, taking on Leicester City away from home on Sunday, August 14.
The club reveal that ticket details for the Lewes home fixture will be available for purchase as of next week.
