The Chairgirls return to FA Cup action on Sunday, where they are set to host Tier 7 side, Comets FC in the Third Round Qualifying of the competition. A win in this round of the competition will see the Chairgirls progress of the First Round Proper of the FA Cup, which sees the introduction of Tier 3 & 4 clubs in the draw of potential opponenets.
The Blues enter the weekend off the back of a strong run of results, as they have remained unbeaten in their five previous fixtures, with two clean sheets on the bounce. Most recently, the Chairgirls demonstrated a strong attacking performance as they handed Badshot Lea a 5-0 defeat in their visit to The 1878 last Sunday.
The visitors also enter the bout on a run of good form, with an unbeaten streak of three games across all competitions, and in fine goal-scoring shape.
Tickets for the game are available on the door at £5 per person, and U16s going free!
