Women return to FA Cup action against Norton & Stockton Ancients

Leeds United Women will return to FA Cup action this weekend, facing familiar opposition Norton & Stockton Ancients at the BD Community Stadium. The Whites have won three matches in a row, aiming to extend their winning streak similar to their previous 10-game run. The last victory was a 2-0 win at Durham Cestria in the FA WNL Division One North, where Brittany Sanderson scored within three minutes and Darcie Greene completed the match with an instinctive finish.

Leeds took advantage of fixture postponements to establish a four-point lead at the top of the table. Prior to that win, the team secured a 2-0 victory over Rotherham United Women at home. In a league encounter back in October, both sides won the match 2-0. Division One North separates the teams by 14 points, with Leeds in first place on 25 points and Norton & Stockton Ancients on 11 points in fifth position.

The match kicks off at 2pm at Garforth Town's BD Community Stadium, with tickets priced at £6 for adults and £4 for children aged five to 16, free for under-fives. Limited parking is available, with overflow parking on Isabella Road. Disabled parking spaces are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
