Yes, disappointing is putting it mildly, I haven't seen any match reports as yet which would indicate the Club are just as shocked as we are however there's nothing from Cambridge United Ladies either other than this very brief video clip of one of their goals with Real Bedford Ladies defenders looking shell shocked. Cambridge United Ladies now host Norwich City Ladies in the next round of the Women's FA Cup:

A belated match report from last weekend's Women's FA Cup Third Qualifying Round tie between Cambridge United Ladies and Real Bedford Ladies, the Club are still in a state of shock by the surprise 3-1 defeat as expectations were high to possibly reach the latter stages of the competition and meet an Arsenal Ladies, a Chelsea Ladies or a Manchester City Ladies however it sadly wasn't to be. Better luck this afternoon (Sunday 20 October) to the Ladies at Portsmouth based FA Women's National League Division One South West Moneyfields Ladies in the FA Women's National League Cup Second Round:

A good weekend for both Real Bedford Men and Real Bedford Ladies with the Men winning 3-0 at Hertford Town on Saturday in a Southern League Division One Central encounter and the Ladies winning 5-1 at Moneyfields Ladies yesterday in an FA Women's National League Cup Second Round tie to reach the Quarter Finals of the competition, a small consolation for prematurely exiting the Women's FA Cup last week.

Real Bedford have been drawn at home against Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division Potton United in the Bedfordshire FA Senior Challenge Cup First Round, the tie takes place on Tuesday 22 October, it wasn't to be Bedford Town then who have been drawn away to Biggleswade Town so it is unlikely that the Club's will meet later in the competition

Let's get ready to rumble:

There shouldn't be any problems this evening at the Ledger Stadium should there against Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division Potton United, last season the two Club's met in League fixtures with Real Bedford winning 3-1 at then McMullen Park and 3-0 at the Hutchinson Hollow in the space of a three week period during November last year:

Our old friends, we meet again...

[Rhodes]

No difficulties whatsoever last night against Potton United at the Ledger Stadium in a Bedfordshire FA Senior Challenge Cup First Round tie, I gather a visit to Barton Rovers in the Second Round of the competition awaits where Rob Sinclair's men have already won comfortably in a Southern League Division One Central fixture. Should Bedford Town win their First Round tie at Biggleswade Town next Tuesday evening and defeat Crawley Green at The Eyrie in the Second Round there will be a first competitive meeting between the two 'joined at the hip' Bedford Club's in a Semi Final tie, I believe at the Ledger Stadium:
