Portadown FC Ladies are set to play at Shamrock Park for the first time in four years, as they host Maiden City in Division 3 of the Northern Ireland Women's Football Association. The match, scheduled for Wednesday night, will be a significant occasion for the team, according to first-team manager Norman Allen. Allen said: 'It is brilliant to have the team playing at Shamrock Park, which is such an iconic stadium here. All the girls are looking forward to what promises to be a special occasion, and hopefully we get a big crowd to cheer them on.' The team has been through a period of change in recent years, which has seen them start this season in Division 3. However, with a new committee in place, the team is looking to climb the leagues and become a force again in the ladies' game. First-team coach Jamie Chapman added that the players are relishing the chance to step out at Shamrock Park, and hopes it is a sign of things to come in the future. Chapman said: 'We do have a home pitch out at Bourneview Mill, but we are getting the chance to play at Shamrock Park in a one-off game. It is very exciting for everyone involved with the club.' The team is still recruiting players, and Allen encouraged anyone interested to get in touch. Portadown FC also has a burgeoning girls' academy, which is providing a conveyor belt of talent through to the senior team. The academy has teams running from Under 9 to U17, and then the senior team, with many young girls coming through the ranks. The match against Maiden City is set to kick off at 7.45pm, and the team is hoping for a big crowd to cheer them on. With the team looking to build on recent progress, the match is set to be an exciting occasion for Portadown FC Ladies. The club's ambition is clear, and the return to Shamrock Park is a significant step forward. As the team looks to the future, they will be hoping to make the most of this opportunity and continue to grow and develop. The match is a chance for the team to showcase their skills and entertain the crowd, and with the support of the fans, they will be looking to make it a night to remember.
