LADIES PREVIEW: Whitehaven (H)

Carlisle United Ladies face fellow Cumbrians, Whitehaven AFC Ladies at Creighton this Sunday. 

United come into this game off the back of a weekend without football with last Sunday’s clash against Stanwix Ladies at Gilford Park being postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. 

Sunday’s opponents are no stranger for the Blues with United’s first game of the season being away at Whitehaven. 

The reverse fixture saw Carlisle pick up a point on the road in a 2-2 draw, Chelsea Norris and Victoria Riddet scoring United’s goals. 

Whitehaven currently sit third in Lancashire Women’s County League Premier Division with 16 points. 

Their 16 points have come in wins against Colne Ladies, GT7 Academy Ladies, Penwortham Town Ladies; two home walkovers against Blackpool Girls and Ladies and Wigan Ladies and Girls, and a point against United. 

United will know that a home win could see them move as high as 6th and within 4 points of Sunday’s opposition with a game less played.
