Rotherham United Women set to play for first time at AESSEAL New York Stadium

They will take on Mansfield Town Ladies on Thursday, May 11 (7pm) for the inaugural "Her Game Too" Shield.

The match is taking place in partnership with the pioneering women-in-sport organisation and will see representatives attend on the night.

RU Women's FC chairman Jamie Noble said: "The match will be the first of its kind and and will become an annual one to win the unique Her Game Too Shield.

"This occasion follows a fantastic and historic year for women's football after the Lionesses' success at last year's Women's EUROS."

Team manager Pete Jarvis said: "With the EUROS happening here last year, we really wanted to build on the momentum because it showed there is a real appetite in the area for women's football. We wanted to get a game on at the stadium this season and this was an opportunity for us.

"We hope it will draw in a really good crowd. It's an opportunity to see our women's team and I'm sure that for some people it will be the first time."
