Ipswich Town women's team won the Women's National League Southern Premier with 17 wins and two losses and have been promoted into the rebranded Women's Super League 2. The squad is now fully professional and has moved home matches from the Martello Ground in Felixstowe to Colchester United's 10,000-capacity Jobserve Community Stadium, a change that disappointed some fans.
