Saints Women's clash with Portsmouth given new date at St Mary's

TWO of Southampton FC Women’s remaining Barclays Women’s Championship home games have been rescheduled for the second half of the season.

Saints Women will face Portsmouth at St Mary's on Saturday, March 22.

Remi Allen’s side will return from the winter break with alterations to their home fixtures against Portsmouth and London City Lionesses.

A bumper crowd is expected under the lights for the evening clash with Southampton’s men’s team not in action due to the March international break.
