That’s the aim of manager Joe Sheehan, whose side became the first fourth tier team in the competition’s history to reach the last 16, before losing 10-0 away to holders Manchester City in February.

Ipswich, who play in National League Division One South, won six matches to get that far and were the lowest-ranked team remaining before bowing out to a City side packed with full internationals.

Online entries are now open for the 2020-21 season, and Sheehan is targeting a place in the quarter-finals.

He said: “We are very much looking forward to getting back on the grass and starting our new campaign, notably the Women’s FA Cup which contributed vastly to our success last season.
