County Cup Final awaits Town Women

Glen Preston's side booked their place in the final as they pushed beyond Barnsley Women 3-1

Huddersfield Town Women are heading to the Sheffield and Hallamshire Women’s County Cup final for the fourth year running, hoping to make it a record breaking four County Cup trophies in a row.

A convincing display from the Terriers, with goals from Autumn Housley, Fliss Jones and Rebecca Beresford sealed the result for Town, as Glen Preston expressed his joy with the result.

Manager Glen Preston said:

“I am delighted with that. I think it was a professional performance, because I thought we were good value for a three goal lead.

“What we noticed was that in the last game we couldn’t get our fullbacks high on our bobbly pitch. So we thought with playing on astroturf we were going to be able to get our wingbacks nice and high from the off.

“We knew the opposition played a high line, we prepped for that during the week, with the timing of our runs and our movement.

“I think in the first half I was frustrated as we missed four or five glorious opportunities to get in behind but we kept hitting the fullbacks, but we still managed to get through a few times that lead to goalscoring moments, and ultimately, it has paid off for us.”
