Dames Matchday
Become a Dame for a day…
Match of the Dames will be returning to Roots Hall Stadium, home of Southend United, for 8 matches this season including one women’s game.
Last season, the Dames welcomed 20 women and girls from the Southend area to an afternoon of footy fun, which resulted in the home side winning 3-0 (despite missing an early penalty).
