Royals and Racers A result from Sunday Arsenal ladies 11 Bristol City Ladies 1 must have send a shudder through the Royals ladies dressing room, as their next WSL match is at Adams Park High Wycombe next Sunday December 8th KO 2.30 pm against Arsenal Ladies !!!
This is followed on Wednesday December 11th by the ladies last continental cup group match away to Chelsea KO 7pm. This match is being played at Wimbledon’s ground at Kingston upon Thames.(Cherry red records stadium).
I have just noticed the Continental cup rules
Teams will play each other once at the group stage with each game being played to a conclusion. If the result of a group match is a draw after 90 minutes then a penalty shootout will take place with points distributed as follows:
• Teams will receive three points for winning a group game in 90 minutes
• Teams will receive two points if a group game is tied after 90 minutes and they win the penalty shootout
• Teams will receive one point if a group game is tied after 90 minutes and they lose the penalty shootout
The top two teams in each group progress to the quarter finals and further knockout stages.
With 1 match to go Group D looks like
1 Chelsea P 4 pts 12
2 Reading P 4 pts 9 GD + 10
3 West Ham P 4 pts 7 GD + 1
4 Tottenham P 4 pts 5
5 Crystal Palace P 4 pts 3
6 Lewes P 4 pts 0
So Wednesday night is a massive game for the Royals as West Ham are home to Palace and should win to finish on 10, so the Royals will need to get a point at least from the Chelsea game
