Match Preview

Southampton Women's FC go in search of their first points of the season with Swindon Town their next opponents in the FA Women's National League.

There have been plenty of changes for Town who are under new management as Mike Cook took over at the end of last season and contracts now available to the playing squad.

The Sirens have yet to pick up a point this season thanks to a narrow home loss to Keynsham Town and 4-0 defeat to AFC Bournemouth a few days later.

It's the first return to Swindon for Southampton Manager Jamie Lloyd Davies and he'll be looking for a response from his side as they aim to move up the table as they currently occupy one of the relegation spots

Swindon have had a bit of a mixed bag of results in the league but have progressed to First Round of the FA Women's National League Cup following wins against Actonians and AFC Wimbledon.

Striker Annie Colston has been in fine form for the Robins scoring seven goals in five games with Helena Diaz-Butcher also a danger with her assists this season.

Lloyd Davies is without Club Captain, Kirsty Whitton, as she begins her recovery following an injury picked up against AFC Bournemouth and Shannon Sievwright is still likely to be a few weeks out.

The Robins and the Sirens will face off at the County Ground for the second time in 2023 a fixture that saw the visitors victorious however, both sides looked very different when they met back in April.
