Colchester United Women First 2 (3)
Stanway Rovers Ladies First 2 (2)
Heartbreak for the Rovers ladies as they exit the League Cup_ 2023 - 2024 on penalties.
Stanway went 2-0 up in the first half, and carried that score into half time.
The second half was a feisty affair and the Stanway keeper sustained an injury as United pulled a goal back. United pulled their second goal back and Stanway's keeper sustained another injury from a late challenge during a long "Added Time" at the end of the second half. Full time finished with the scores even at 2-2, although United won the yellow card count 4-2.
Stanway Goal Scorers:

With no additional goals during extra time, and three hours after kick off, the game went into penalties.
Stanway led 1-2 on penalties after each side had taken two penalties each.
Sadly that was the last Stanway scored, and United came out on top, winning 3-2 on penalties.
Not the result we wanted today and losing on penalties always stings a bit more, but our ladies did us proud. You can hold your heads high rovers.
Thank you to all players and coaches for their efforts and also our shirt sponsors and everyone who came along to support us.
