The Addicks rounded off pre-season with a marginal 2-1 loss to West Ham, with Yui Hasagawa’s brace cancelling out Heidi Logan’s early opener.

The hosts, Southampton,  kicked off their pre-season with a 1-1 draw with Scottish side Celtic. A friendly between the Saints and Charlton was scheduled to take place on July 24th but was called off.
