OFFICIAL MAT CH DAY SUPPLEMENT. MK DONS v BRIDGWATER UNITED

22ND AUGUST 2021 • K-O: 2PM

JACK SHARP.

It’s great to welcome you all back to Stadium MK for our first home league game of the 21/22 season.

We welcome our visitors Bridgwater United to for the first women’s game in 10 months.

I want to start my programme notes by thanking everyone for their continued support of the club over what has been an incredibly difficult time for everyone. We may have played lots of games behind closed doors but your support has been felt. It’s been brilliant to see your interaction with us on social media and the well wishes passed on. Our players and staff massively appreciate it and I know they are all looking forward to having you back watching the team.

Last weekend we opened our league campaign with against Southampton. Although the result didn’t go in our favour there were some really exciting moments that just show how far this squad has come in the last 12 months.

Over the summer, we have been able to retain a large amount of our squad and have enriched the environment with five new additions, who all add quality and help us grow towards achieving our goals for the season.

For those of you that haven’t, there is still time to purchase an MK Dons Women’s Membership for this season. This still remains the most cost effective way to watch the team at Stadium MK and covers all home and league matches, including up to five U17’s.

I hope you enjoy the game and we look forward to welcoming you back on Sunday 29th August when we host Hounslow FC.
