Two Important Matches At Wycombe Wanderers FC

Adams Park is the venue for two important matches in the Women's game over the next two weekends.

This coming Sunday, 29 May at 2pm, Brighton & Hove Albion Women take on Sporting Club Albion in the FA Women's Premier League Championship play-off final.

Having won the Southern and Northern divisions of the WPL respectively, the prize could not be greater for the two teams as the winners will be admitted to the Women's Super League for the 2017 season, subject to meeting certain criteria, following in the footsteps of Sheffield FC who defeated Portsmouth in the first ever Championship play-off.

Brighton goalkeeper David Stockdale feels the Albion women have a great chance of winning through.

He told the official BHAFC website: “I’ve been very impressed with their quality of football; they play an attractive, passing game which is the Brighton way, and hopefully they can go on and take their place in Super League for next season.”

After clinching the Northern Division title, Sporting Club Albion (who are affiliated to West Bromwich Albion) manager Graham Abercrombie, speaking in the Express & Star newspaper, outlined the difference that promotion to WSL would make.

"It would be life-changing. We’d have more contact hours,” he said.

“The Premier League is a serious platform, it’s 24-7 for us, but we all have to piece it in and around work so it’s tremendous what we’ve done. The Super League platform is growing, it’s more serious in terms of the finance support and the structures around us all."

Tickets are available on arrival at Adams Park for £5 for adults, £2.50 for seniors and under 16s, and £1 for under 10s.

The following Saturday, 4 June at 5:30pm, England's Senior Women will continue their Euro 2017 qualifying campaign against Serbia. Mark Sampson's side have won three and drawn one of their qualifiers to date but have found goals hard to come by.

Sampson will be hoping that his attacking players will benefit from the FA WSL season now being in full swing and that maximum points can be taken from a double header against the Serbs.

Tickets are priced at £7.50 for adults and £3.50 for concessions, with family tickets and discounts for Wanderers season ticket holders available
