Our match preview as we take on Real Bedford in the final match of the 24/25 FAWNL season. 

The Hamlet return to the Hill on the back of a positive result against AFC Sudbury 2 weekends ago. Jess Francis-Weir scored an early goal before the hosts equalised. 

This will be manager Ryan Dempsey's final game in the Champion Hill dugout as he announced his intention to step down from his role as 1st team manager following the conclusion of the 24/25 season. You can see what Chairman Ben Clasper had to 

Before that it was a dramatic Capital Women's Cup Semi-Final victory over Tottenham Hotspur. A double from Martha Goddard either side of a Spurs goal meant we booked a spot in the final to take on former south London side Arsenal on the 13th May at Uxbridge FC. Find out more here.

Real Bedford come into this having won promotion to the the top tier of the FAWNL (tier 3 overall) at the 1st time of asking. Their victory over London Seaward 2 weeks ago. In their debut season at step 4 the Bedford based side have secured 14 wins and 7 draws and will look to complete an unbeaten league run as they head into step 3 next season. 

It's the Hamlet's penultimate game of the 24/25 season and the final of a relatively strong debut campaign in the FAWNL. Memorable victories over Cambridge United at the Abbey Stadium as well as an opening day draw with Norwich City in front of over 800 supporters' at Champion Hill.
