Women's Senior Cup Final, Wednesday 26th April, Buckingham Athletic FC, 19:45KO
Chesham United Ladies and MK Dons Ladies will compete for the Women's Senior Cup on Wednesday at Buckingham Athletic. Chesham will look to spring somewhat of a shock against higher ranked MK Dons. The teams met in last seasons semi-final with MK Dons running out 4-0 winners that day. Chesham have had a solid season in the Southern Region Women's Premier Division and will finish the season in 3rd place. The team are a good mix of youth and experience, and they will hopefully have Gemma Fraser available who has scored a staggering 36 goals in 17 starts in the league this season. The team have an excellent coaching team and will be well drilled.

MK Dons who have won the competition 3 years in a row, know that they are the favourites for this one. They lie 3rd in FA Women's Premier League South East Division 1 with 3 games remaining in the league. Manager James Honeyman wants his team to move forward with another win in the final; "We take great pride in the Berks & Bucks Cup and want to continue our recent success in the competition. We are the highest rated team in the competition and know this puts a target on our back every year as the team to beat. That being said we are fully aware of the challenge we face today, against a high flying Chesham team with bags of quality. We know only our best performance will get the result we want and ultimately demand from ourselves.As a club we are looking to grow, develop and become better. We know winning and success breeds more success. Winning can become a habit, and it is a habit that this season, we have welcomed with open arms."

We wish both teams, officials and supporters the very best and hope the game is an enjoyable occasion.
Admission to the game is; Adults £5, Concessions £3, Students £2 (must show valid student ID), U18's FREE

Tilehurst Panthers Stripes take on Moretonville Junior All Stars in the early kick off at Chesham United on Saturday 29th April. Tilehurst manager Rob Page is full of praise for his team; "Tilehurst Panthers Girls F.C. was formed in 2006 and in our tenth anniversary year was awarded Charter Standard Development Club status. At present the club runs 16 girls teams and runs a FREE Development Center for girls aged 5-9 years old. The team representing the club today are 4 times back to back Berkshire League/Cup double champions who also won the Aces National Championship last year. Looking forward to another great game in charge of this extremely talented group of players. Would like to thank the support of my coaches and parents, not just this, but every year ... and the dedication of this great bunch of girls."

Their opponents Moretonville Junior All Stars merged two sides together at the start of the season and the squad is highly capable. The club are also developing off the pitch with £285,000 worth of funding in place to double the size of the clubs changing facilities. The team have had a good season in the Bucks Girls League.

We look forward to these two large youth clubs going head-to-head in this final.

Caversham coach Joanne Kershaw; "What a delightful group of girls to coach. They work hard at training and play for each other on the pitch. They’ve suffered from a few injuries this season and have played several games without the full 11.
