The Spirit of 1949 as Yeovil Face Sunderland

It was one of the biggest FA Cup shocks of all time as Sunderland, the ‘Bank of England’ club were humbled 2-1 by Southern League Yeovil Town on the famous Huish slope in 1949.

The old ground may now be a Tesco supermarket but its name lives on at Huish Park and that is where FA WSL2 side Yeovil Town Ladies will look to cause an upset against WSL1 Sunderland in the 5th Round of the FA Women’s Cup.

Tickets for the game, scheduled for Sunday 20 March at 2pm, are priced at £5 Adults and £2.50 for Concessions and Children.

Seven other 5th Round ties take place on Sunday 20th with this being the stage of the competition where the WSL1 sides enter proceedings.

Holders Chelsea travel to newly-promoted Doncaster Rovers Belles in a game that will take place at the Keepmoat Stadium. Tickets for this one are priced at £6 Adults, £1 Concessions and a Family ticket is available for £12.

The FA Women’s Cup Final takes place at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 14 May with tickets free for children aged 16 and under.
