Semi-final places up for grabs in Women’s Arthur McKay Scottish Cup
The Women’s Arthur McKay Scottish Cup quarter-final games will take place on Sunday, which will see the last eight become the last four.
In a mirror image of the men’s draw, local rivals Dundee Wanderers and Grove Menzieshill will fight it out for a place in the semi-finals. Both sides won convincingly in the previous rounds, keeping clean sheets against their opponents. However this game will prove to be extremely tough for both Wanderers and Grove, as both sides will have to be at their best if they want to make it to the semi-finals.
Looking forward to the match, Dundee Wanderers play-maker Vikki Bunce said, “Games against Grove are always challenging, we respect them as a team and are aware of their strengths. We have strengths too and are working hard to compete with the top teams in the league.
This weekend in the cup will be no different, we will focus on our game plan and work on areas we feel we can improve on. In terms of prep for this game, nothing will be different. We are working on the same themes and will continue to do so, building for remaining games in the league and, hopefully, stay in the cup.”
CALA Edinburgh have arguably been one of the most impressive teams in the cup this year, following 0-10 and 0-9 away victories against Watsonians A and Aberdeen Ladies. They will host Grange EL. The away side will be looking to maintain their confidence, after securing their first league win this year against Giffnock at the weekend.
Hillhead Ladies will be looking to upset home side and Aberdeen Asset Management National League Division 1 giants Milne Craig Clydesdale Western to guarantee a place in the last 4. Hillhead will not let their opponent’s league one status dampen their confidence, as they disposed of Division 1 side Giffnock 1-0 in the last round.
Inverleith Ladies face a challenge to overcome Edinburgh University. The students ran out 5-0 winners in the league earlier this season and an upset may be against the odds.
