After what has been a long delay, three of the outstanding four ties
       from the Third Round Qualifying of the Vitality Women's FA Cup
       were played on Sunday.
              Leyton Orient came through an awkward tie away to
       Eastbourne  Town,  booking  their  place  in  the  First  Round  with  a  4-1  victory.  Hayley
       Barton, Kate Bradley and Allison McCann put the O's 3-1 ahead at half time, with Kellie
       Larkin replying for Eastbourne, before Egle Trezzi dashed any hopes of a recovery by the
       home side with thirteen minutes remaining. Orient will be at home to Actonians Ladies in
       the next round this week.
              Liverpool Feds meanwhile travelled north to play Fleetwood Town Wrens of
       the North West League and returned with a 3-0 victory under their belts. Erin Slade put the
       Feds in front after twelve minutes and she added her second on the half hour, before Chloe
       Fisher sealed the victory midway through the second half. Liverpool Feds will face opponents
       from the same league in the First Round, as they are away to FC United of Manchester.
              Enfield Town made it a hat-trick of away wins for National League sides against
       lower league opposition with a 2-1 success at Luton Town. Erica Byron did put Luton ahead
       from the penalty spot earlier on but Enfield hit back to take the win with goals either side of
       half time from Beau Parker.
              However Enfield must wait to discover who their next opponents will be as the tie
       between Kent Football Utd and AFC Wimbledon fell victim to a waterlogged pitch, and
       the match is set to be played this coming Sunday.


       Keynsham Town have been very busy behind the scenes during lockdown, strengthening
       their coaching staff with four new arrivals.
              Steve Lilley, Aaron Tyler, Nicky Lelievre and Chris Gardener have all joined the
       club and took up their new appointments with the FAWNL Southern Premier Division club
       once training began after the enforced month-long break.
              These are fantastic appointments with all four highly experienced UEFA licenced
       coaches that will hugely benefit player development across the club.
              Keynsham manager Barrie Newton said: "We have added to our coaching staff over
       the past few months and I am delighted at the quality of the coaches we have attracted.
              "Together, they will help develop all our players to a new level."


       Aston Villa moved out of the bottom three places of the Barclays FA WSL on Wednesday
       night with a crushing 4-0 victory over Bristol City at Twerton Park. The first half did see
       few chances with Villa having the better of possession but the deadlock was broken three
       minutes before half time, when Ramona Petzelberger slid in an Emma Follis cross at the far
       post. Charlie Wellings twice went close for City after the break but Shania Hayles broke
       through to score Villa’s second moments later. Petzelberger then scored a near identical goal
       to her first with another far post finish, and Haynes rounded off a good night for her side by
       also completing her double with an angled finish after being set up by Follis.
              Also  on  Wednesday  night,  Leicester  City  became  the  second  FA  Women’s
       Championship side to be assured of a quarter final place in the FA Women’s Continental
       Tyres League Cup when they defeated Birmingham City on a penalty shootout after the
       teams had fought out a goalless draw. Aimee Everett scored the winning goal from the spot
       to guarantee her side top spot in Group E.
