WOMEN’S MATCH PREVIEW: Hull City Ladies (A)

Derby County Women will continue their FA Women’s National League Northern Premier Division campaign when they travel to the Versa Sportswear Stadium to face Hull City Ladies on Sunday (2pm kick-off).

The Ewes will be looking to bounce back from a 3-0 defeat at home to West Bromwich Albion last weekend, which ended a four-game winning streak in all competitions - including picking up six points in the league against Halifax and Sporting Khalsa.


The unbeaten run saw Head Coach Sam Griffiths nominated for the FA Women’s National League Manager of the Month award for September.


Currently in ninth place, Derby could climb as high as sixth with a win, ahead of two weeks of cup action on the road, with fixtures against Real Bedford in the FA WNL Cup First Round (Sunday 19th October, 2pm kick-off) and Coventry Sphinx Ladies in Round One of the Adobe Women’s FA Cup (Sunday 26th October, 2pm kick-off).

Ticket Information

Tickets can be purchased via Hull City Ladies’ website, as well as on the gate at the Versa Sportswear Stadium on Sunday.

Stadium Address: North Ferriby Football Club, Grange Lane, North Ferriby, East Yorkshire, U14 3AB

The Opposition

Hull City are currently a point and a place ahead of the Ewes in the league table, with seven points from six games.

They also finished both a point and a place ahead of Derby last season, too, finishing in eighth place.

The two sides last met at the Don Amott Arena in April, with Hull coming out as 2-1 winners towards the end of the 2024/25 campaign – Derby won 4-2 in the encounter on the road earlier in the season.

This season, the Tigresses won their first two games against Halifax and West Bromwich Albion, but have gained only one point since then.

And they will be licking their wounds following a 3-0 defeat at Burnley last weekend.

Hull, who are managed by Chris Hames, also possess the league’s top scorer, Hope Knight, who has eight goals from nine matches this season.
