[zeetha]

I can't go because I'm working, but in case someone felt like supporting the Women's team, they are playing Yeovil Town (who are also in the WSL2 league) in their first match of the The FA WSL Continental Tyres Cup group stages tonight at Culver Road this evening at 7.45pm.

The Seagulls will also come up against Bristol City, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur in the competition group stages.

Is this something like the baseball world series, where it's all within the US?

Brighton currently 3-0 up! UTA!

 

[BNthree]

4- 0 up now. Aren't Yeovil from a league above too?

 

[zeetha]

Two late consolations for Yeovil mean the match ended 4-2 (whoops, sorry for putting 2-0 originally - obviously not having a good night!)

I got it wrong in my original post, Yeovil are a WSL 1 side so a good result for Brighton even if Yeovil were a changed side from normal.

Up The Albion!

4-2 surely. Pardon me if I'm being a thicky and missing something obvious. Anyway, bloody well done, girls.

Whoops - thanks, I've edited my original post. I blame the cider I've had...

Blue Jays might disagree, though not this post season obviously.

A good performance from the Albion, controlled most of the game, and could have had ten but for better finishing. Two sloppy goals conceded at the end (though the second one was easily five yards offside).

But encouraging overall for a team with three debutantes.

I'm sure they had a ball.

 

[severnside gull]

Seem to have fitness problems going by late goals conceded in the last two games but hopefully able to challenge at the higher level this season. All in all very encouraging.

It’s bad enough explaining to wife my passion for going to see the men’s team every other week, I can only imagine he reaction if I started watching the girls football too[emoji23]

Perhaps she thinks your "passion" would be better exercised with her.

Isn't is something to do the the newspaper called the 'New York World'.

In which case is this prestigious tournament sponsored by German tyre manufacturer 'Continental AG'?

Bring her along too then.

I went with someone who hadn't seen the women's team play before. "It's much quicker than I thought it would be. And we're pretty good, aren't we...?"

Sold.

 

[bhanutz]

Yeovil? We should be hammering such teams!

 

[The Large One]

We did.

That, aside from the fact they're in the top division in the country when we're not, ought to give some indication as to how far the women's team has come over the past 2-3 years.
