IT’S a decade since Ipswich Town men’s team reached the Fourth Round of the FA Cup but their women’s team may achieve that feat for the first time in their history should they defeat Portsmouth of the FA Women’s National Premier League in Felixstowe on Sunday.

Top of the FA Women’s National League South East Division, Ipswich have won eight consecutive league games and come through four FA Cup ties to reach the Third Round for the second time in three seasons. 

One more win and Ipswich will be in Monday’s Fourth Round draw alongside WSL giants Arsenal, Chelsea and cup holders Manchester City.
