Lancashire FA Women’s Senior Cup final awaits

Burnley Women defend their Lancashire FA Women’s Senior Cup title on Tuesday evening, taking on West Didsbury & Chorlton at the County Ground in Leyland.

Both teams enjoyed comprehensive victories at the semi-final stage, with the Clarets beating AFC Fylde 6-0.

A Brenna Mcpartlan brace and goals from Amaya, Dom Cooper, Laura Elford and Evie Priestley made it a January afternoon to remember despite the difficult weather conditions.

West Didsbury and Chorlton, who operate in the fifth tier of English football, saw off Blackpool FC Women and Girls 4-0 to book their final spot.

Burnley were the inaugural winners of the competition last season, beating Darwen FC 9-0 in an entertaining final.

It’s a short turn-around for the team, who were beaten 3-0 by Newcastle United in their latest league fixture on Sunday afternoon.

The game saw new additions Emma Siddall and Monique Robinson, signed from Manchester City and Leicester City respectively, make their debuts, while club captain Thea Paul returned from a two-month injury lay-off.

Kick-off at the Lancashire FA’s headquarters (PR25 2LF) is 7:30pm and tickets are available on the gate. Adults can gain entry for £6, with concessions priced at £3.
