Fulham Women v AFC Wimbledon Women | Sunday 20th November 2022 | 2pm | Craven Cottage

The opposition

  • Wimbledon Women play in the fourth tier of the Women’s game, one above FFCW, in the National League Division One (South East).
  • It’s been a solid start to the season so far, with four wins and a draw from their six games leaving the Dons in third place, though they have a game in hand on Hashtag United and Norwich City above them.
  • Forward Ashlee Hincks will be the main threat for the Whites on Sunday. The former WSL and England youth forward has scored 17 goals in 10 matches across all competitions so far this season, including a remarkable four hat-tricks.
