Claret Women face Coundon Court in cup action

Burnley return for the third round of the Adobe Women's FA Cup on Sunday afternoon (KO 1pm) as they travel to Warwickshire to encounter Coundon Court at the Your Co-op Community Stadium, Leamington Spa.

Richard Sanway's side compete in the West Midlands Regional Women's Football League, and have already made club history, as this will be their first-ever appearance in the third round of the Adobe Women's FA Cup. They come off a 2-1 victory away from home against Leafield Athletic, who compete in the league above them.

Their place was secured when ten minutes into the second half, Coundon Court's Tash Miles made a clearance through to Jess Lundie, who outpaced Leafield's defence, rounded the goalkeeper and slotted the ball home from a tight angle.

Leafield Athletic responded quickly, as winger Laura Broadbent weaved her way into the box, and assisted Neive Fallon who was able to find the equaliser.

The away side found the winner with 25 minutes to spare when Hannah Roxburgh delivered a crucial pass to Sophie Shale. The striker seized the opportunity and slotted into the far corner.
