So, the FA Cup game against everyone's big spenders who think they should just be parachuted into the WSL because they're just too rich to bother with silly things that legacy fans like to call "getting promoted through winning divisions".
Yes, that trip to Newcastle United, which despite the snow around these parts went ahead quite happily; and ended in a 5-1 victory to put us through to the Fourth Round, which is where the WSL clubs come in, with the draw tomorrow. Whilst it will be interesting to get a WSL team, quite frankly I'd rather avoid them all and get someone either from the Championship (where we'd stand a chance of an upset) or from Tier 4 (where we should progress).
Shockingly, Amber Hughes failed to get on the scoresheet, with our goals coming from Beth Merrick (x2), Tammi George, Maz Gauntlett and an Anna Morphet penalty. Unfortunately Tammi had to go off with an injury, and there's no word about how long she'll be out for.
The game also featured a twice-taken penalty for Newcastle, which was twice saved by Bec Thomas. Not something you see every day!
