Argyle's women could secure first silverware in cup final
Plymouth Argyle manager Hourihan is aiming for second time lucky after previously reaching the final
Plymouth Argyle Women could secure their first silverware today - as they face Bournemouth at Loftus Road in the FA Women’s National League cup final.
Plymouth Argyle beat Burnley 4-1 to become the first team to secure their place - and also beat Bournemouth 2-1 last weekend and afterwards Head Coach Marie Hourihan said: "Next week is a different game, a different type of game. It's at Loftus Road on a big, nice pitch."
The FA Women’s National League Cup is an annual competition open to the 72 teams in the WNL and 16 Professional Game Academies.
This season, the competition saw a format change with all teams competing in a group stage before the 22 group winners, along with the 10 best runners-up, progressed to the Cup Knockout Stage.
It will be a second consecutive cup final for former Stoke City turned Plymouth Argyle manager Hourihan.
Sue Hough MBE, Chair of the FA Women’s National League Board said: “The FA Women’s National League Cup Final is always a monumental occasion where drama unfolds, talent rises, and seasons are defined."
