Witton Albion Women v. Vauxhall Motors Ladies(CWYFL Challenge Cup Semi Final)

Vauxhall Motors Ladies stand between Witton Albion Women and a place in the final of the League Challenge Cup when the two teams go head to head in the semi final on Wednesday night.

The league season saw Vauxhall Motors become the only team to take a point off Witton on our way to winning the Championship, although Albion did win the home fixture.

The road to the last four hasn’t been easy for Dean Meadows charges, they have had to overcome two Premier Division teams in Newton-le-Willows Ladies and AFC Crewe Women, the latter finished second behind Champions Nantwich Town.

Witton will be confident of securing their place in the final where Altrincham await the winners but, they won’t be taking anything for granted and will go into the game in a positive mood.

Should the game be drawn after normal time, the tie will be decided on penalties.

Kick off at the U Lock It Stadium is 8pm.
