The Clarets’ head to the North East on Sunday 20th September as they get back into action after last season’s campaign was curtailed in March by the Covid-19 outbreak.

Burnley’s first home game is against Huddersfield Town Women at Padiham FC before a mid-week visit from AFC Fylde Women midweek on Wednesday 30th September.

Matt Bee’s squad, which recently returned to training, look forward to getting the new campaign underway and aim to continue their impressive form in the Northern Premier Division, the third tier of the women’s football pyramid.

The side, who were newly promoted last season, won 14 of the 20 games played and are raring to get back to league action next month.

First-team manager Bee said: “Following last season finishing early and being null and voided, it will be good to get back out on the grass in a competitive fixture.

“Sunderland is major test and we will have to ensure that we prepare effectively over the coming weeks in order to be give ourselves the best chance.”
