So it's back to the Hampshire cup quarter final for another attempt at getting this fixture played. Focus on Pompey please log in to view this image Hurrah! A match report! Last week, Portsmouth completed a comprehensive 5-0 victory over QPR in the 3rd round of the FA Cup. The first goal came within 8 minutes, the QPR keeper off her line, Charley Wilson placed a delicate chip over the keeper and which landed calmly into the net. Not long after this, Pompey could have got a second as Portsmouth hit the bar, but there wasn't long to wait before the second goal with Wilson getting her second following the QPR keeper spilling a corner. Before half time, Portsmouth and Wilson added a third. 3-0 was the half time score. The second half saw Portsmouth continue to dominate possession, and it wasn't long before a fourth was added by Wilson. By now, Portsmouth were content to let QPR string a few passing movements together but made sure QPR didn't get any proper chances at goal. The fifth goal was added from a beautiful curled free kick from 25 yards by Kirsty McGee, that left the QPR keeper with no chance. From what I hear, there may be video highlights of this game at some point. I think they're just currently being edited. Focus on Winchester City Flyers Reds please log in to view this image Well, aside from having a ridiculous name, where should we begin? Well, firstly Winchester City Flyers seem to have two teams, the 'Reds' and the 'Blacks'. The 'Reds' play in the Hampshire County Women's League Division 1 (the same as QK Southampton) while the 'Blacks' (who I presume are the reserve team) play in the Hampshire County Women's League Division 2. The club has apparently been in existence since 1996, making it a rather young even by women's football standards. They are currently 6th in the table, one place below QK Southampton after having won the 2nd Division last year while a reorganisation of the Hampshire County Women's League from 4 division to 3 saw Winchester City Flyers Blacks promoted to the 2nd division last year, despite only finishing second. Last Season in the Cup Portsmouth Made it to: Final - Winners Result: Portsmouth 2 - 1 Havant & Waterlooville Portsmouth scorers: Rutherford, Quinn Havant & Waterlooville scorer: Nkomo Winchester City Flyers Reds Made it to: Did not compete in the Hampshire Cup but did compete in the Hampshire Intermediate Cup, making it to semi-final where they lost 3-1 to Widbrook United. I think this may be the first season in the Hampshire Cup. Last Match Sunderland 7 - 0 Portsmouth @ The Hetton Centre Winchester City Flyers Reds 2 - 1 Winchester City @ The Garrison Ground This Season's Cup Run Portsmouth have played one game so far in the Hampshire cup, recieving a bye to the second round, where they defeated QK Southampton 15-0. Winchester City Flyers Reds started from the first round where they won due to a walkover against Horndean. This was followed by a 8-0 home victory over Christchurch in the second round. Elsewhere in the Cup Southampton managed to defeat Andover New Street in the quarters last Sunday and now face the winners of this tie, with either Porstmouth or Winchester facing Southampton in a home tie.
Good grief, I really messed up the title, could someone change it to "Match Preview: Winchester City Flyers Reds v Portsmouth F.C. Ladies (again)", bitte? Also, my first article, yay!
Hold on a sec, it seems the Portsmouth website and the Portsmouth ladies website say it's an away fixture while the FA Full-Time and Hampshire FA websites say it's a home fixture. How confusing.
Thank you! According to Pompey's Twitter page, it's away, so I'm gonna say it's an away game. Also, could a mod fix the title please? If you could make it "Match Preview: Winchester City Flyers v Portsmouth F.C. Ladies" that would be fantastic, thank you! Also Duckhunter, stop being a prat.
Thank you very much! Have you liked the Facebook page yet? And why not get Amanda to like it as well?
Hehe I will do at some point I don't know how interested Amanda would be in Pompey Ladies, but I'll ask anyway! She does like blue jerseys so maybe haha .. .. because it shows our his+hers tattoo!
