Charlton Athletic Women FC has begun the new season slowly with goal scoring proving difficult. However, in their most recent match in the FA Continental Cup, though pitched together with Women’s Super League and full-time professional side Brighton & Hove Albion, the women’s display gives great cause for optimism and hopes of better things to come.
Playing in less than ideal conditions, Charlton impressed for the most part, looking confident on the ball and holding their full-time opponents almost until half time, but fitness told in the end as Brighton ran out comfortable 3-0 winners, thanks in part to two second-half penalties.
