LondonEagle - Thanks for posting that, it's true what Mr McCormack says that the 'blazers', 'jobsworths' and 'yes men' at the FA attack the freedom of expression and that the FA does not always act in the best interests of the game or its Club's. From what I can gather it was the Milton Keynes Dons Ladies Manager who brought the programme article to the attention of the FA, otherwise they would have been oblivious to it, it was obviously sour grapes following their 3-0 humbling in the FA Women's National League Cup Preliminary Round last month:

I wonder whether the Ladies FA Women's National League Division One South East fixture with Cambridge United Ladies at the Ledger Stadium tomorrow evening will go ahead with all the local flooding, it would be a shame if it is postponed as a rare live stream is planned:

Let's get ready to rumble then, the fixture this evening goes ahead:

A somewhat of a surprise 0-0 draw at the Ledger Stadium last night, between Real Bedford Ladies and Cambridge United Ladies, in a hard fought FA Women's National League Division One South East fixture in difficult conditions that saw Jessica Evans and Sofia Casaubon Stovold see yellow in front of a disappointing attendance of just 92. The visitors clearly had a 'best-laid plan' from the word go to shut out Real Bedford Ladies dangerous forward line and their highly regarded boss Darren Marjoram did his homework to a tee, it doesn't bode particularly well for when the two sides lock horns again in just over two weeks time in a 'winner takes all' Women's FA Cup Third Qualifying Round tie however no doubt the Ladies boss Charlie Bill will already be doing his own homework in preparation to reach the First Round proper of the competition. Last season, when still with Milton Keynes Dons Ladies, Charlie coincidentally beat Cambridge United Ladies in the First Round proper and 'masterminded' an exciting run to the Third Round where they were very unfortunate to lose at home to former Women's Super League Birmingham City who scored twice deep into added time to win 2-0, current Real Bedford Ladies players Hannah Warren, Nicola Puddick, Sofia Casaubon Stovold, Gemma Biggadike, Laura Mitchell, Tricia Gould, Leyla O'Brien, Chloe Sansom and Amy McLean all played in that tie on Sunday 10 December last year in front of an attendance of 651 at Stadium MK.

A little premature but, weather permitting, lets get ready to rumble for Saturday's Southern League Division One Central fixture with Ware at the Ledger Stadium which will, thankfully, be live streamed:

Was a fun watch last night. Can never quite tell if I wish I were out there running around in the storms or content to be cozily warm at home watching on tv.

Again a little premature but lets get ready to rumble for Sunday's difficult FA Women's National League Cup First Round tie with Women's National League Southern Premier Division Gwalia United who were previously know as Cardiff City Ladies. The Ladies make the long trip to South Wales to take on a side one Step above them in the Women's Pyramid system however the hosts haven't started the campaign particularly well and have lost three and drawn two of their first six League fixtures:

Could be problems with access, potentially. The Council still haven't cleared the water at the entrance to Meadow Lane.    

PS Tankers currently clearing the water outside.
