Fifth Round Draw

With Middlesbrough and Curzon Ashton still to play the third round this was the result of the fifth round draw:

"Liverpool Feds or Rochdale AFC Ladies or Middlesbrough or Curzon Ashton v Reading or Aston Villa"

What can I say. There is little point in speculating who will be playing who until some of the 3rd and 4th Rounds get played. One thing's for sure - whoever makes it through all these games will end up with a bit of a fixture pile-up. For reference, Villa currently lie in mid table in the Women's Premier, northern division (the same league as Curzon Ashton) and Reading are 2nd in the Southern equivalent, so may be overall favourites to emerge from these six teams into the quarter-finals.
