Women’s FA Cup Preliminary Round

FA Cup tie at Oughtibridge War Memorial Sports Ground
















A pleasant late summer (or early autumn day) at the very neat and tidy Oughtibridge War Memorial Sports Ground yesterday as the home side recovered from losing an early goal to see off neighbours Sheffield Wednesday and earn a place in the First Qualifying Round of this season’s competition.

I wrote last week about the spirit of the game, in the wake of Bury losing their place in the Football League, and it was evident at Oughtibridge with friends and family of the players on both sides mingling on the touchline as a well-contested game was played out.

For both sides, wherever their football takes them in future, they can say with pride that they played in the FA Cup.

Monday’s draw saw Oughtibridge handed a tough trip to Peterborough United on Sunday 22nd September.
