Forest Green Rovers Women look to build on their victory at The New Lawn when they host Poole Town at Hartpury University at 2pm on Sunday.
Last Sunday’s match against AFC St Austell was postponed due to the away side having a lack of players due to illness with a decision on the re-arranged game to follow in the next few weeks.
