FA WSL & ESPN announce next TV fixture
August 13, 2011 · 0 Comments
The FA WSL and ESPN have confirmed that the next league fixture to be shown live on ESPN will be Arsenal Ladies against Everton Ladies, historically one of the biggest games in the women’s football calendar.
The match will take place at Borehamwood on Thursday 18 August, with ESPN coverage starting at 6.45pm – kick-off is 7pm.
The fixture will be the fifth live WSL match shown on ESPN following matches at the homes of Chelsea, Doncaster Rovers Belles, Bristol Academy and Lincoln.
Faye White, Captain of England and Arsenal Ladies, believes the next televised clash on ESPN will have a huge say on the outcome of the inaugural WSL title.
She said : “It will be fantastic to have ESPN screen our home game against Everton, it is always a massive game for us. Everton are a top team, they have shot up the league in the second half of the season and have consistently been our closest rivals over the last few years. This year has been a bit different with the new league, we’ve both been trying to catch Birmingham at the top. This is such a crucial game for us, we have Doncaster on Sunday, then Everton and six points in the next two fixtures will put us in the driving seat going into the final week of the WSL season.”
