A Town Ladies are cruising through to the final here against Oadby Munich. 3-0 lead and barely five minutes played in their semi-final. Number 8 given far too much time and space to pick out the bottom corner.
Lovely finish!

Just like in the Premier League, there are press commitments in between games...
(and their team-mate who doesn't look like she wants to be interviewed ends up drawing more attention to herself!)

Crusaders are in the wars!
The goalie takes a shot full to the face, composes herself, quite literally shakes it off and is good to go! Made of tough stuff!
Great to see the A Scar Is Born player, who hit the shot, check that the keeper is OK.

That's got to hurt!
