Cup Final Update

An update on a few of the competitions that have featured on these pages over the course of the season.

Following last Sunday's semi-finals we know now that the 2019 SSE Women's FA Cup Final will be contested at Wembley on Saturday 4 May, kick-off 5.30pm, between Manchester City and West Ham United.

City will be strong favourites to lift the trophy in front of what is set to be another big crowd with tickets once again priced at £15 Adults and free for kids.

Manchester City will also host this season's FA Youth Cup Final with their Academy Stadium the venue for the game against Liverpool on Thursday 25 April 

Tickets are on sale, priced at £3 Adults and £1 Under 18's, and it should be a good occasion but I'm disappointed both by the decision to make the final a single game (to ease fixture congestion is the reason given) and that it isn't being played at the main Etihad Stadium given that it is the showpiece event at this level of the game and that for many of the players involved it could represent one of the great memories of their footballing career.

Non-League Finals Day at Wembley this year takes place on Sunday 19 May with the FA Vase Final followed by the climax of the FA Trophy.

Chertsey Town and Cray Valley (PM) go first in the Vase before National League promotion hopefuls AFC Fylde and Leyton Orient contest the Trophy final.

A section of the stadium is reserved for neutrals with a ticket for the whole day priced at £25 Adults, £10 Concessions and £1 for Under 16's.
