MATCH PREVIEW | Leatherhead vs Dulwich Hamlet | Adobe Women's FA Cup
Two old rivals meet this weekend but this time it's our women's sides battling it out as the latest chapter of Leatherhead vs Dulwich Hamlet is written.
It's the Hamlet who come in as red hot favourites finding themselves in step 4 of the pyramid. Although they won't want to take a look at last season's Hamlet men's performance at Fetcham Grove as the Tanners defeated the Hamlet in the 1st qualifying round of the men's FA Cup.
Despite losing against Hashtag United last weekend, Maria Tavares's side will be boosted by the fact they're still in the FAWNL League Cup finishing as one of the 10 best placed 2nd place sides in the group stages. Their performance was rewarded with a home tie against Chatham Town in the next round.
The FAWNL Cup is the only cup competition the Hamlet have featured in this year and came out of the group stages with 2 wins and a loss.
The Hamlet have a strong history in the FA Cup having defeated London Bees 2 seasons ago to reach the 2nd round proper before falling to defeat against step 3 Billericay Town.
Last season it was a defeat to former Women's Championship (now WSL 2) side Lewes on penalties at the Dripping Pan.
It's the perfect break from league action for Maria Tavares and her side and will potentiall give the Hamlet manager the chance to rotate her squad as they enter a busy October.
