Lincoln City Women were knocked out of the FAWNL Plate by struggling Sheffield FC thanks to a couple of early second-half goals. Both sides came into the game desperate for a change in form. It was a welcome break from league action, as Lincoln had suffered two successive defeats and Sheffield FC were winless in their last three. Lee Mitchell’s side returned to Moorlands, where they beat Northampton Town convincingly early on in the season.

They were organised and were everything we thought they would be before the game.”Tomas Soucek’s second-half goal was the only thing that separated the two sides when the final whistle was blown, proving that West Ham had to work hard for their victory.
