Adobe Women’s FA Cup second round tie awaits

Burnley Women continue their Adobe Women’s FA Cup campaign with the visit of Bradford City on Sunday afternoon.

A place in the third round proper against Long Itchington or Nottingham Forest is at stake, with the Clarets aiming to extend their winning run to nine matches in all competitions.

Rebecca Sawiuk’s side produced an emphatic 12-0 victory over Spennymoor Town in the first round of the competition, with Aimee Kelly scoring five and Laura Elford finding the net four times.

Anna Grey also netted twice alongside a single goal from Claudia Walker as the Clarets brushed aside their fifth-tier opponents in Leyland.

Bradford operate at the same level but come into this match in a rich vein of form of their own, winning all of their last five outings.

The Bantams have had to play three matches to reach this stage of the Adobe Women’s FA Cup, starting with a thrilling 4-3 victory over Farsley Celtic in the second qualifying round.

Their third qualifying round tie was a tamer affair as they edged past Chesterfield, before beating our Lancashire neighbours Preston North End in the first round proper.

The Clarets’ most recent outing was against Hull City in the Northern Premier Division of the Women’s National League on Sunday 17th November.

Two goals were enough to edge the team past the Tigresses, with Brenna McPartlan’s second-half penalty preceding a stoppage-time finish from Walker.
