FC United women's team bid for cup final glory tonight at Curzon Ashton

Fc women final

FC United’s women’s team are in cup final action this coming Monday evening when they take on City of Manchester Ladies in the Robinsons Brewery Women’s Cup Final at Tameside Stadium with a kick off time of 7pm.

City of Manchester Ladies beat FC last year in this cup at the semi final stage so Monday night’s game offers Lee Sutton’s side the chance of revenge and the team’s first silverware since it was formed a little over a year ago.

The Robinsons Brewery Women’s Cup is Manchester’s senior female competition. Last season’s competition was won by Manchester City Ladies who beat City of Manchester Ladies in the final. City of Manchester Ladies are currently mid-table in the North West Women’s Regional League Premier League, two steps above FC United in the women’s league structure, so a tough game is in prospect on Monday 31 March.

Lee Sutton, FC United women’s team manager, said: "It’s a great achievement for the squad and all the back room staff knowing that everything we have put together is working and getting results. We have had so much support from the club, fans and co-owners, it’s been great and everyone should be proud of the things that have and are happening in women’s football and the progression within the club. Let’s build on it and achieve more for Greater Manchester and show people what can be done if you have the backing. We need a big turnout from FC supporters at Curzon Ashton’s ground on Monday to give us every chance against higher league opposition so I hope people make the trip across to Tameside to cheer us on."
