Women to take on Blackburn Rovers

Women to take on Blackburn Rovers

The third round of the FA Cup this weekend will see the U’s take on Blackburn Rovers Ladies at Court Place Farm.

After a strong second half performance against Cambridge United, which ended 4-0, the Yellows are aiming to take another step on the road to Wembley. 
 
Blackburn Rovers, unbeaten in all competitions this season, will be a real test, but Liam Gilbert is confident that his team are prepared for the challenge:
 
"We've prepared really well for this match. Blackburn are a very strong team, but we know that we are as well and will go into this match with confidence high on the back of a great run ourselves. We know all about the season they've been having, but we believe we are a match for anyone on our day and we're expecting a really good game of football."
 
Kick off will be at 2pm with tickets £5 on the door. Come down and cheer on the Yellows or follow live @OfficialOUWFC on Twitter and Instagram!
