That certainly makes for an easier journey. N.B. the nearest station is Theobalds Grove, not Cheshunt. Trains are running half hourly from Liverpool Street via Seven Sisters, and the ground is only a few hundred yards from the station.

The cups tend to be a bit of a mess on FA Full Time, especially when they’re cross league games. A lot of the Capital Cup go on there twice and often Women’s FA Cup ties going missing. That was the case with my WFAC debut this season against St Margaretsbury

Lost on kicks from the penalty mark against Tottenham. On a brighter note, Webbedfeet unexpectedly blew one of their league games in hand by losing at Dorking .

Not at the races tonight, dumped out of a second cup in 4 days.
Billericay were worth the 3-1 win as Hamlet rarely threatened.
At least the women can legitimately say that they are concentrating on the league!

That’s one way of putting it, certainly.
Did the women’s team also lose to teams two divisions below them? Or above them…?

Two divisions above us tonight. Don't think they have ever lost to a team in a division below (that I can think of)

Oh yeah I know. I was being facetious. Basically pointing out that comparing the women’s and men’s teams Cup performances is like saying the Mona Lisa and the Ricay Muriel are the same because they’re both pictures.
It was interesting to see how we looked without our two devastatingly effective usual starting wingers (Shakira Kafero-Robers and Angel Reid). A fit Billericay side were aggressive in closing us down in midfield, and without our usual out ball to wingers who can reliably beat defenders and hold the ball up, we seemed to struggle under the pressure.
I suspect it would've been different if Kafero-Roberts and Reid had started. We're a decent side without them, but a brilliant side with them.

I confess I didn't realise 'Ricay were so far above us, I just presumed they were on or about our level.
There didn't seem to be two decisions between the two sides, but maybe they rested some regulars.
Their keeper didn't look the most mobile, so would have like to seen her under a bit more pressure. We also struggled a bit with corner delivery.
Sad to miss out on the final but an enjoyable evening all in all, with the plus that I had the Brooklyn ale for the first time and it was bloody good. To strong for a Saturday session but perfect for a quiet midweek!

I don't think either side was really playing a 1st XI, so difficult to take anything away beyond "the Tier 3 side's weakened time was better than the Tier 5 side's weakened team".

Meh first half, excellent 2nd half. Everyone put a good shift in.
Pepper Army in fine voice and was definitely the 12th player of the match again

Is there some kind of game to make as many posts as possible without actually revealing the result of yesterday's match. That's 3 now without actually saying Hamlet won. It was a 2-0 league win away to Ebbsfleet. Unfortunately Fulham and Dartford both won too.
Amazing what a racket you can make under a corrugated iron roofMeh first half, excellent 2nd half. Everyone put a good shift in.

Fleet Women 0-2 Dulwich Hamlet
Dulwich Hamlet sent two goals past the Fleet in an exciting match at the Kuflink Stadium. The Fleet started the match brightly with Dan Carlton seeing sight of goal in the opening 10 minutes when she stepped up to take a free kick from just inside the halfway line. That was comfortably collected

Attendance 173, Dulwich must have been responsible for a fair chunk of that. Felt like more Hamlet fans than home fans?Fleet Women 0-2 Dulwich Hamlet

Great support and result. Fulham and Dartford will face tougher opposition so we've just got to keep the pressure (and noise!) on
I didn't realise how good this Summer Roberts finish was until today. She shapes up to shoot the at the far post, and only when she sees the keeper shift her weight does she then go the other way and shoot at the near post, completely outfoxing her. An utterly sublime bit of football.

Little question for anyone that might know but why have the first team entered the Capital Senior Cup but the Reserves are not in the Intermediate version. There seem to be a number of reserve & academy sides in the competitions but not DHFC_W

London amateur club boycott second fixture against MHFC over ‘misogyny’
Players at the community-owned football club Camden and Islington United (Candi) have taken the decision to boycott a second game against Munter Hunters FC

Solidarity with Candi. Misogyny is actually on the increase in football. I’ve personally witnessed a number of incidents this season. That a League could allow a team to play with a misogynistic name then double down when informed of this along with some seriously troubling social posts that included illegal activity from Candi’s scheduled opponents should shock me but with Joey Barton spewing his shit all over social media I’m hardly surprised any more.
