Who plays who in the next round of FA Vase & Vitality Women’s FA Cup

This weekend saw action aplenty in both the FA Vase and the Vitality Women’s FA Cup and with both competitions now into the Second Qualifying Round here is how both competitions shape up for our sides.

Starting in the FA Vase, Longlevens claimed a 3-2 win over Fairford Town in our featured game of the weekend.

After John Watson had cancelled out the hosts’ opener from debutant Rudi McKinnon, goals from Ethan Dunbar and another debutant in Joe Seery had put Longlevens 3-1 to good.

Fairford midfielder Christian Turner-WIlliams headed home a consolation late on.

Longlevens head to Sandhurst Town in the next round.

Bishops Cleeve will host Wallingford Town after their 4-1 win over Thornbury Town at Kayte Lane.

Goals from Jack Watts, Elliot Kennedy and Jake Rhodes added to an own goal to see the Mitres advance into the Second Qualifying Round.

Tuffley Rovers will be at home to Fleet Spurs in the next round after claiming a 4-2 win at Malmesbury Victoria at the weekend.

A double from Harry Morgan along with strikes from Lucas Price and Lewis Bainbridge earned Rich Cox’s men their third win in a row in all competitions.

Shortwood United will head to Hellenic Premier leaders Cribbs after beating Cove 4-2 at Meadowbank, with manager Mat Blythe striking and a brace from Luke Soule in a big win for the wood.

And fellow Division One side Cheltenham Saracens secured their place in the next round with a solid 2-1 win away at Almondsbury. Saracens head to Bitton in a tough Second Qualifying Round.

In the Vitality Women’s FA Cup there was plenty of drama in the three fixtures involving our Gloucestershire County Women’s Football League sides.

Gloucester City Women set up a Second Qualifying Round tie with Ilminster Town Ladies with a 3-2 win over Weston-Super-Mare at Meadow Park.

A double from Kate Ambrey along with a strike from Kelsey Harris saw their side win in their Women’s FA Cup debut.

Pucklechurch Sports Ladies advanced into the next round on penalites after a 1-1 draw with Bristol Rovers Women.

Nerys Akers stepped up to convert the winning spotkick to see her side set up a trip to Sherbonre Town Ladies in the Second Qualifying Round.

Then in the fixture between Almonsbury Ladies and Olveston United Ladies, with the visitors leading, the game was abandoned in stoppage time after a horrendous injury to an Almondsbury Ladies player.

It is believes the FA will likely need to make a decision with the tie and should Olveston get the result then they will be heading to Forest Green Rovers in the next round.

Longlevens Ladies enter the cup at the Second Qualifying Round stage and head to Bristol Ladies Union.

Here is the Second Qualifying Round in full for our sides, ties take place on Sunday 3rd October (subject to change)
