Away Preview: Worthing vs Abingdon United

Abingdon United WFC24 Oct 2024 - 16:38

The Yellows are back in league action, with a trip to West Sussex in the FAWNL Division One South West.

Abingdon United return to FA Women's National League action this Sunday, as Sam Froud's side travel to the Sussex Transport Community Stadium to face Worthing.

United booked their spot in the Quarter Finals of the Berks and Bucks FA Women's Senior Cup last time out, in a 4-2 win over Woodley United.

Libby Gilmore opened the scoring, before Lauren May slotted home a penalty.

Mimi Hodges put United three up within 25 minutes with a brilliant left footed finish. May completed a brace in the second half to ensure Abingdon made it through in the competition, where they will face the winner of Sunday's tie between Caversham United and Reading.

Our opponents, Worthing, come into this game on the back of a 5-2 defeat to AFC Bournemouth, in the FAWNL Plate Second Round.

Tierney Scott and Leah Hume got on the scoresheet for Worthing, but Sunday's hosts couldn't fight back from first half goals conceded, which saw them exit the competition.

However, having beaten United in the Adobe Women's FA Cup recently, The Rebels will be full of confidence going into Sunday's encounter against Abingdon, in what is set up to be another brilliant FAWNL fixture.
