Crusaders Strikers were 4-0 winners over Ballyclare in preparation for the 2022 Danske Bank Women’s Premiership season.
Crusaders will start at home to Derry City on Wednesday 20 April, reigning champions Glentoran host debutants Lisburn, Sion Swifts entertain last year’s runners-up Cliftonville, while Mid Ulster make a top-flight return away to Linfield.
The eight clubs will play each other twice home and away before splitting into two sections for the final three games of the campaign.
There will be a mid-season break from the league, with Northern Ireland competing at the Women’s Euros this summer.
