The mention of Wakefield Trinity and Wembley in the same sentence usually conjurs up an image of a run to the Challenge Cup Final for the famous Rugby League side but Wakefield Trinity Ladies FC are one of 20 clubs playing in the Extra Preliminary Round of the Women's FA Cup on Sunday 18th August.
Part of the Wakefield Trinity Community Trust, the football team (formerly Wakefield Ladies FC) currently play in the North East Regional Women's Football League and aspire to offer a pathway for young female footballers throughout the local area.
Home matches are played in Fitzwilliam, at the home of Hemsworth Miners Welfare FC, and it is here that the Extra Preliminary Round tie against Farsley Celtic will be played on the above date, kick-off 2pm.
The club are aiming for a gate of 500 and admission is by charitable donation.
I had an idea of a 'road to Wembley' style series of articles for the Women's FA Cup, based on the old 'Journey To Wembley' book that I wrote about last year, but it is already being done, in really good detail, by The Giant Killing Adventure blog which is taking the game between Mossley Hill and Burnley Belvedere as its starting point.
