How did Newcastle United Women reach the final?

A 4-1 triumph over AFC Fylde followed that with a brace apiece from Georgia Gibson and Tyler Dodds. Newcastle secured their place in the final with a win over Portsmouth at St James’ Park last month with a Charlotte Potts goal and a last minute strike from Gibson securing a dramatic late win.

What has been said in the build-up?

Newcastle United’s head of women’s football, Su Cumming, spoke to the media earlier this week and explained what it would mean for the club if Langley's side were able to get over the line and deliver silverware on Saturday afternoon: “I think it's a really exciting opportunity for the club and us to showcase just how good we are.” Cumming said.

“We've not made it this far in this cup previously and I think getting to a point where we can be seen in a national setting to start off with even more so than our northern status is just fantastic for the players and for all the work that Becky and the team are doing to just to get us where we are at the moment it's very exciting.”
