Saturday’s Continental Cup Final at Bramall Lane was contested between the current top two in the FA Women’s Super League, Manchester City and Arsenal, and was a predictably tight affair which was settled on penalties in City’s favour after a goalless 120 minutes.
The
victory was deserved as they created the vast majority of what chances there
were and had far more attacking intent than an Arsenal side missing some key
players and who even managed Joe Montemurro admitted played in a far more
reserved manner than he would have liked because of the absences.
Prices
of £10 for Adults (£7.50 during the early-bird phase) and £1 for Concessions
were in place for the game and so a crowd of 2,424 was disappointing and for
the foreseeable future it looks as though the FA Cup Final will be the only
domestic fixture that goes beyond this core audience.
Tickets
for the Wembley showpiece, which takes place on May, are priced at £15 Adults
and free for children.
And
many of the players on show in Sheffield today will be in the England squad
that builds-up to this summer’s World Cup with four home friendly fixtures
against Canada (at Manchester City Academy Stadium on Friday 5 April at 7pm),
Spain (at Swindon Town, Tuesday 9 April, 7pm), Denmark (Walsall FC, Saturday 25
May, 3pm) and New Zealand (Brighton & Hove Albion, Saturday 1 June, 1pm).
Tickets
for each game are priced at £10 Adults, £1 Concessions (£7.50 early-bird offer for
adults if bought before 28 February for the April matches and 10 March for the
other games.
