Tractor Girls to Host Lewes in FA Cup - Ipswich Town News
Ipswich Town Women have been drawn at home against Barclays Women's Championship Lewes in round three of the Adobe Women’s FA Cup.
The Tractor Girls thrashed Sutton Coldfield 8-0 at the AGL Arena yesterday to progress to the third round.
Lewes are currently second bottom of the Championship, a tier above the Blues.
The teams met in the competition last year at the fourth round stage in Felixstowe when the Sussex side ran out 1-0 victors.
In the summer, Sarah Brasero-Carreira and Anna Gray both joined the Rooks from Town, while current Blues keeper Laura Hartley is a former Lewes player.
The tie will take place on Sunday 10th December at the AGL Arena, kick-off 1pm, with the winners receiving £35,000 from this season’s increased prize pot.
