Glens begin title defence against Crues - Women's Premiership fixtures

Glentoran reclaimed the title from Cliftonville after going unbeaten last season

Reigning Women's Premiership champions Glentoran will begin their title defence against Crusaders on 5 May.

Cliftonville, 2022 champions and last year's runners-up, face Mid Ulster Ladies in their opener.

Lisburn Rangers, who earned promotion from the Championship last term, take on Derry City at Brandywell Stadium in their first top-flight game.

Elsewhere on the opening weekend, Larne host Lisburn Ladies at Inver Park.

Glentoran host Cliftonville on 5 July in the first meeting of last season's top two.

With nine teams in the league following Sion Swifts' withdrawal, Linfield are not in action until 10 May when they travel to Bluebell Stadium to face Lisburn Ladies.

The Blues are managed by returning boss Ryan McConville, who guided the club to three Premiership titles during his previous stint.

Teams will play each other home and away over 18 rounds of fixtures with the season scheduled to conclude on 11 October.
