great  for  us,  we  have  previously  had  some  very  impressive  runs  bringing  in  fans  and
       giving the players and coaches a chance to test themselves against teams from the top
       divisions.
       WSS: Your next scheduled league game in the new year is against Chester-le-
       Street again and then a run of home games, do you see this as a chance to kick
       on in the title race?
       ED: Come the New Year we hope we will be able to crack on without any more disruptions,
       Covid and weather wise. We will work hard during the Christmas break and be ready to
       kick on straight away. Every game is important but we don't look too far into the future in
       terms of the title race.
       WSS:  You  have  come  close  to  promotion  so  many  times  in  recent  seasons,
       what would it mean to the club if you can go up this time around?
       ED: Promotion would mean so much to the club. For the fans, players and coaches that
       have stuck with it especially. We are good enough to play in the division above and the
       players are keen to show what they can do in there.
       Our thanks to Emma!



       Everton  defeated  Manchester  Utd  1-0  in  the  final  group  match  of  the  FA  Women’s
       Continental Tyres League Cup, but it was not quite enough to take them through to the
       quarter finals.
             Willie  Kirk’s  side  had  been  hoping  to  take  one  of  the  two  runners-up  spots  as
       Manchester City had already been confirmed as group winners, whilst United were unable to
       progress.
             The  only  goal  of  the  game  came  with  fifteen  minutes  remaining,  Hayley  Raso
       bursting down the left and crossing for Lucy Graham to score.
             Durham Women and Crystal Palace therefore take the two best runners-up positions
       and will be in the draw for the quarter finals, which takes place on Saturday afternoon.
