<strong>Bradford</strong> were victorious on home soil thanks<br />

to a terrific strike by Lucy Sowerby, whereas<br />

<strong>Huddersfield</strong> won on their own patch after<br />

turning around a 1-0 deficit at the beginning<br />

of October.<br />

It’s not the first time that a cup competition<br />

has required them to face each other three<br />

times either.<br />

The last two seasons have seen them clash in<br />

the FA Women’s Cup as well as twice in the<br />

league, the local rivals meeting with surprising<br />

regularity in the knockout competitions.<br />

<strong>City</strong> won both of those FA Cup games—3-0<br />

last season and 3-2 the year before.
