Maidenhead United learn FA Cup opponents

Magpies could have faced either Brentford or Southampton

Maidenhead United Women know who they will face after Brentford and Southampton Women went to extra time.

The Magpies will travel to the South Coast to face Southampton after reserve team goalkeeper Leah Etheridge scored the winner.

Etheridge was making her first team debut – coming on in the 105th minute and was on hand to tuck away a well placed cross 10 minutes later.

The magic of the FA Cup was in full effect this afternoon as goalkeeper turned match-winner @leah_etheridge1 helped @SotonWomensFC through to the Second Round Proper of the @AdobeWFACup.
