AFC Bournemouth, who currently sit top of the league in the FA Women’s National League Division One South-West, started their journey in the Preliminary Round with an impressive 8-0 triumph over Portishead before receiving a Walk Over from London Seaward. Returning to action in the Second Round, the Cherries defeated Worthing 5-2, before picking up a closer victory against Cambridge United, 2-1 in the Quarter-Final, before securing a 3-2 win over Manchester United Professional Game Academy in the Semi-Final.
This will be the first time the teams have met since March 13 2022, the season that saw Cheltenham crowned Champions of the FA WNL Division One South-West, which saw The Robinesses run out 2-1 winners at Cirencester’s Corinium Stadium. Goals from Charlotte Criddle and Tamzin Hayward put Cheltenham in control before Katie James closed the gap in injury time.
