Flyers looking to get back into form at home to Selsey

Winchester City Flyers welcome third-from-bottom Selsey to the Charters Community Stadium on Sunday looking to get to winning ways in the league.

The Flyers have suffered back-to-back 4-0 defeats in the Southern Region Premier Division, losing to Wycombe Wanderers and Ascot United at home.

It's over a month since Winchester picked up three points and that was in a comprehensive 4-1 win over Badshot Lea.

While the wins in the league have been in short supply the Flyers do find themselves into the semi-final of the North Hampshire Divisional FA Cup after a resounding win against Overton Youth FC.

Sunday's opponents Selsey have been through a tricky few years with relegations and name changes as they look for stability in the women's pyramid.

Back in 2019, they finished the 2018/19 season third in the FA Women's National League Southern Premier but have struggled to reach those same heights since.

Formerly known as Chichester City, they have moved a few miles south to join up with Selsey in 2021.

This season the Seals are without a league win in seven games with their only points coming in draws in both matches against Badshot Lea.

Selsey have lacked goals with just 11 scored between five players, Isabelle Wheatley with the most at three goals in 10 appearances.

They have picked up wins in the cups the most recent a 3-0 win over Abbey Rangers in the Southern Region League Cup.

New signing Chelsea Burr scored twice on her full debut having signed from Southampton Women's FC a couple of weeks prior.

Five points separates Selsey and Winchester heading into the game meaning a win would help to open up a bigger gap for the Flyers from the bottom three.
