We round-up all the key information ahead of Durham Women’s clash with Charlton Athletic in the Barclays Women’s Championship…
- Fixture: Durham v Charlton Athletic
- Date: Sunday 17th March 2024
- Kick-off time: 12pm
- Competition: Barclays Women’s Championship
- Venue: Maiden Castle, Durham, DH1 3SE
- As the season heads towards its business end, Charlton remain firmly in the hunt for promotion to the Barclays Women’s Super League.
- The Addicks – led by manager Karen Hills – have lost just twice in the league this term.
- Those defeats have both come at home, against Reading and Watford, and the side are unbeaten away from home this season.
- Striker Kayleigh Barton joined the club from Brighton in the summer and has already netted six times in the league this term.
- Hills has a plethora of attacking options at her disposal, with Arsenal youngster Freya Godfrey, the prolific Mel Johnson and tricky Angela Addison also crucial to Charlton’s success this term.
- The two sides last met at The Oakwood in October.
- Sarah Robson headed Durham in front late on, only for Kayleigh Barton to level from the penalty spot in the tenth minute of added time.
- Durham were last in action a fortnight ago as they drew 2-2 at Blackburn Rovers -with a Beth Hepple strike and an own goal not enough for victory.
- Charlton hosted Reading last weekend and fell to a 1-0 defeat at The Oakwood. Charlie Wellings netted on the stroke of half-time to seal three vital points for the Royals.
- Durham will be in their usual home kit this weekend – with Charlton Athletic in changed colours.
