Hockaday (2), Tiegan Hutchinson and Charlotte Proud to set up a local derby with Durham Cestria,
3-2 winners away to Warrington Wolves thanks to Erin Nelson, Hannah Greenwood and Lauren
Robson, who scored an injury time winner.
Holwell Sports eased through by beating Grimsby Town 7-2, Katie Lowder and Chantelle
Robinson each netting twice along with Kira Fitzpatrick, Courtney Cropper and Katie Connor. Holwell
will now be at home to Lincoln City who won 10-1 against Burton Albion, courtesy of doubles from
Leah Hardy, Katie Thornley and Sophie Crosby, while Jeorgia Carr, Jessica Rousseau, Lauryn Wilcock
and Emily Atkinson accounted for the others. Jordan Atkin, Jessica Munn, Shanae Thomas, Millie
Fugler and Tara Kirk all scored along with two own goals as Long Eaton Utd defeated Netherton
Utd 7-1. Long Eaton have been handed a tough reward in the draw, at home to Wolverhampton
Wanderers. Jade Cross and Kate Evans were on the scoresheet as Wolves won 2-0 away to Sutton
Coldfield Town.
The tie between Solihull Moors and Bedworth Utd turned to be as close as anticipated
and indeed went all the way to penalties where Solihull goalkeeper Francesca Vitale saved two kicks,
enabling Lois Jefferies to slot home the winner. Jefferies had earlier scored for Solihull from open play
along with Leah Seivwright, Kirsty Farnsworth netting twice in reply. Moors face familiar opposition
again in the next round, home to Sporting Khalsa who won 4-2 against Leafield Athletic with a
goal apiece from Angelique Morley, Bethan Woolley, Megan Cann and Chloe May Coldicott.
Wem Town travelled north to play Northwich Vixens and came away as 2-1 winners
thanks to strikes from Kim Bebbington and Laura Pennington. Wem will face Regional League
opponents again in the next round in Coventry Sphinx, for whom Bonnie Moore and Neve Platt were
on target in their 2-1 victory away to Dronfield Town, which ended County League interest in the
competition for this season.
Fleetwood Town Wrens made it through with a 2-1 victory away to Morecambe,
courtesy of a brace of goals from Lauren Oatley. The Wrens must wait and see who their next
opponents will be, either Ossett Utd or Liverpool Feds who will attempt to play their tie this week.
Stourbridge continued their Cup run by winning 5-0 at Worcester City. In front of a
bumper crowd, the Glassgirls produced a strong display with Courteney Murphy scoring twice, while
Carly Aldred, Ruby Meeson and Alex Nicklin added one apiece. Stourbridge have been rewarded with
a home draw in one of only two all-Regional League ties, against Crusaders who were 3-2 victors at
Oadby & Wigston. Ella Thompson-Moulding, Paige Leonard and Alice Lilley were the markswomen
for Crusaders although they needed to withstand a late fightback from the home side when they pulled
back two goals.
Kent Football Utd were taken all the way to penalties to Ashford Town (Middlesex)
before eventually making it through. Charlie Goad kept up her great form in front of goal by scoring
twice for Kent as the game finished 2-2, before Kent won 5-4 from spot (see match report). AFC
Wimbledon overcame Ashford Ladies with a 6-0 victory and will travel to Kent in the next round.
Rebecca Carter led the scoring with a hat-trick, whilst the Dons' other markswomen were Madi
Parsonson, Beth Lloyd and Chloe Sampson. Actonians Ladies meanwhile came through a tricky tie
against Saltdean Utd with a 6-2 victory, in which Naoko Wada hit a hat-trick alongside Roschelle
Shakes, Sharon Odofin and Minori Ono. They will be at home once again to opponents from the same
league, this time Worthing FC Women who came through a penalty shootout after drawing 1-1 with
New London Lionesses, Beth Kincaid scoring Worthing's goal on the day.
Therese Addison, Jay Blackie, Freya Fuller and Zoe Rushen were all on the scoresheet as

Jenkins. The Essex side have landed an intriguing home tie with Chesham Utd, 3-1 winners away to
Abingdon Utd thanks to a Gemma Fraser brace and Riva Casley.
Penalties were needed at Dartford where visitors Eastbourne Town progressed after the
match had finished level at 1-1. The Darts had taken the lead through Emily Vaughan early on, before
Nicole Baitup grabbed an equaliser after the break. Eastbourne will now be at home to Leyton Orient
who came through a tough tie away to Dulwich Hamlet with a 1-0 victory, given to them by Katherine
Long. Norwich City made the trip to Newmarket Town where they ran out 5-1 winners with a goal
each from Aimee Durrant, Rosie George, Kate Parsons, Josie Jarvis and Keunna Dill. This sets up a
meeting with Ipswich Town who scored ten without reply against Peterborough Northern Star,
led by a four-goal haul from Natasha Thomas. Amy-Leigh Abrehart, Zoe Barratt, Eloise King, Molly
Sutherland and Georgia Allen also scored along with an own goal.
Cheltenham Town overcame the challenge of Brislington with a 3-0 victory. Billie
Haynes, Alice Kempski and Charlotte Criddle scored the goals to take Cheltenham through to a tie
against Portishead Town, who won 2-0 against Sherborne Town thanks to Nathalie Zajaczkowski
and Shannon Holloway.
A second half goal from Jessica Wadey gave Fulham FC Women a 1-0 win against
Wycombe Wanderers and they will be at home again in the next round to Maidenhead Utd, for
whom Natalie Barnes scored a last minute goal as they beat Denham Utd 1-0.
