Our women's under-19s take on Lewes FC in the Sussex Challenge Cup on Tuesday 29 April, kick-off 7.30pm.

We sealed a 3-1 against Worthing in the semi-final, having previously beaten Three Bridges and Steyning.

Albion ended their U21 PGA Division league campaign with a 3-1 win over Leicester at the American Express Elite Football Performance Centre last Wednesday and head coach Dani Bowman wants her team to continue that momentum.

"The group want to continue pushing themselves and that's all you can ask for," she said. "They want to learn and they want to be better.

"We'll have fun. We'll go into the game against Lewes knowing it's going to be a completely different challenge to what we'd usually face.

"We've had quite a busy period of games and training lately, so we'll need to make sure we've got the strongest and fittest squad possible for Tuesday.

"It's a cup final, anything can happen in those 90 minutes. We'll do our absolute best to try and win it. The girls will run their absolute socks off until that final whistle.

"Please come down and support us, it will be huge for the girls to hear the voices from the stands and know that they're being backed and encouraged."

The game will be played at Sussex FA's Culver Road in Lancing
