and lost thirteen. As Plymouth are at the bottom of the table fighting to not get relegated to the

division one in the WNL. However they are one point behind Billericay Town.

They managed to make it to the semi-finals in the FA WNL CUP 24/25 on the 26th January but

sadly they got defeated by 0-3 from Stoke city.

However they got that far in the FA WNL cup 24/25 they were fighting for that position not to

get relegated. They've got only four games left to be able to keep them out of the relegation zone. As

they play against Ipswich women on the 23rd march and both teams want the three points to

help them either not to get relegated or to help them get promoted. So it will be a tough game.

So Plymouth will need to be able to not lose any games to help them stay in the WNL southern

premier division
