THE Essex County FA Women’s Representative Team will, once again, participate in the Southern Counties Competition during the 2025/26 season, and their fixtures have now been confirmed. This year’s competition sees a slight change in format following the departure of Jersey, leavings four County FAs – Army, Essex, Kent and Middlesex – battling it out. Each side will play one another once, with the final round of fixtures determining overall placings as first meets second and third plays fourth. The competition provides a fantastic opportunity for Essex’s top female players to showcase their ability at representative level, in-line with the Essex County FA #MovingForward Strategy 2028, while building on the positive progress of previous campaigns. Full details of the final fixture will be shared once they’re confirmed.
