The incredible NUFC Women were at it again on Sunday down at Chorley AFC. They travelled for the second round Adobe FA Women’s Cup looking for a win to take them into the third round when the FA Women’s Championship teams join the ‘party.’
After another dominant performance, The Lady Mags continued their magnificent unbeaten run to seal a place in the third-round draw with an emphatic 5 – 0 away win. They will now face Stoke City in that next round at home on December 10th.

Those games are evenly split. They’ve scored 44 in 13 this season and scored 49 in 13 last season after the Wolves defeat. So that’s 93 goals in 26 games, over 3.5 goals per game and in those same 26 games they’ve only conceded just 15 goals!
If that doesn’t tell you something about the ambition, drive, determination, togetherness and commitment to higher dreams that this wonderful side have then nothing will. They seem at the moment an unstoppable irresistible force that are to be very much feared.
To Sunday’s game then. Once again bold Becky was innovative with her selection against a side a division lower than her United side. She left several of what many would consider first choice players out of the team and even squad.
