The date for Albion's FAWSL match against Reading has been moved.

The Barclays FA Women’s Super League match at the People’s Pension Stadium against Reading has been brought forward to Friday 29th November, kick-off 7.45pm.

The match was originally scheduled for the Sunday of that weekend, but the change has been made as Crawley Town’s Emirates FA Cup second round tie against Fleetwood Town will now take place on that day.
