Cushing to leave Man City Manchester City Women's manager Nick Cushing will leave his current role at the start of February to take up the post of assistant manager at New York City FC. Having led City’s women’s team since its reformation in 2014, the 35-year-old has enjoyed a silverware-laden tenure, guiding his side to six trophies in as many years with three Continental Cup successes, two FA Cup triumphs and one FA Women’s Super League title.

Cushing also led the team to the UEFA Women’s Champions League semi finals in consecutive seasons (2016-17 and 2017-18), and leaves the Cityzens competing on three fronts during the remainder of the 2019-20 campaign.

His links with Manchester City go back as far as 2007. Having started out as a schools coach, before joining the Academy’s coaching set up, Cushing’s professional journey within the City Football Group now continues across the Atlantic.

In his new role, he will link up with MLS outfit New York City where he will work alongside newly appointed head coach Ronny Deila.

His final game in charge will be the team’s Barclays FA Women’s Super League home clash with Arsenal on Sunday 2nd February.

Following Cushing’s departure, current assistant manager Alan Mahon will take charge of first team matters in the interim period, with former England men's Under-21s coach Brian Eastick providing a supporting role, bringing with him over 30 years of experience both on and off the pitch.

Brighouse complete amazing year Brighouse Town, of the FA Women's National League Division One North, have completed a remarkable 2019.

The West Yorkshire side have completed the incredible feat of remaining unbeaten in open play in all competitions with the exception of a penalty shootout defeat to Derby County.

After 33 games, Town have won 23 and drawn 10, scoring an impressive 103 goals and only conceding 25 along the way.

Brighouse finished last season by lifting the West Riding County Cup for the first time in their short history after beating Guiseley 3-2 in the Final and finishing as runners-up behind Burnley FC Women in the league.

That form has carried on in to the new season which has seen the team start strongly in the league and cups, reaching the Third Round of the Women's FA Cup and the last sixteen of the County Cup. They currently lie in third place in the league, behind leaders Barnsley and Leeds Utd, but with games in hand on both of them.

Town's only blemish came in a League Cup penalty shootout defeat to National League Northern Premier Division side Derby County after a 1-1 draw in extra time.

However, the first competitive match in the year 2020 actually ended in defeat as they were narrowly beaten 1-0 by Barnsley in the Third Round of the Women’s FA Cup. Manager Rob Mitchell has an impressive overall record with the club after 200 games in charge also, having won 144 and only suffering defeat on 30 occasions in all competitions over a seven year spell.

"The prime objective now is to try and achieve promotion, but with only one side going up from division one in a highly competitive league, that task has proven a little trickier to overcome, finishing second in the previous two seasons," Rob Mitchell told Women's Soccer Scene.

Southampton Women reach last 32 Southampton Women 3 West Bromwich Albion 1 Southampton Women FC moved into the Fourth Round of the Women's FA Cup with a 3-1 home win over West Bromwich Albion.

The club's second win over higher division opposition in this competition was hard fought with the winners having to resist strong pressure from the Baggies for long periods but two goals from Erin Bloomfield and a third from sub Jane Yeates gave them a lead which Albion could only reduce by one.

It was the visitors who started on the front foot, Southampton keeper Rose Kite tipping over a powerful Natalie Murray shot, then Emily Owen firing over from the resulting corner on six minutes. The hosts threatened first when E-J May played in Bloomfield but Baggies keeper Vanessa Kinnerley was quick off her line to claim on 15 minutes.

Southampton's Kellie Warren, who was superb throughout, made a goal saving block on 25 minutes, Erin Bloomfield under pressure from Ria Elsmore sliding in to turn away a Jade Arber shot after Kite was (www.jamesprickett.co.uk). beaten to a loose ball. The value of this contribution was emphasised when Bloomfield expertly finished a through pass with a low shot from ten yards on 33 minutes.

Kite was regularly in action, turning away a shot from Keeley Davies just before the break and again on the restart, blocking an Arber effort at the near post on 50 minutes. Good work from Kayleigh Tonks released Bloomfield who was fouled and converted the resulting spot kick just after the hour to double Southampton's lead.

Albion poured forward with renewed vigour, forcing numerous corners and free several dangerous free kicks but keeper Kite and central defenders Warren and Gracie White were strong in guarding their goal. Hannah Samuels got forward to send in a low right wing cross which evaded Kinnerley and was turned home by Yeates on 70 minutes for Southampton's third.

Albion skipper Hannah George had been orchestrating her side's most dangerous moments and it was her corner beyond the far post which was turned back for sub Trina Greaves to turn home on 75 minutes. The same player nearly added a second from a left wing cross as Albion threatened a late comeback.

The visitors were in all out attacking mode as the match entered the final ten but Bloomfield nearly completed her hat-trick when played in by Philippa Holden, Kinnerley making a fine save on 82 minutes, then Holden herself went close when set up by Bloomfield a minute later as Southampton expertly used counter attacks.

Davies had one final sight of goal for Albion in the second minute of added time but Kite was down well to save. Bloomfield completed a fine match by holding up the ball deep in Albion territory and the home team were able to celebrate a superb win earned with brave defence, calm passing and cool finishing, a true team effort to earn a place in the Fourth Round.

Wales to play at Wrexham Wales will play their first match in Wrexham since 2012 when they face Estonia on Friday 6th March (kick off 7pm).

Estonia are managed by former Wales manager Jarmo Matikainen and it will be the fourth time the sides have faced each other. Wales have won two matches and drawn one in the previous encounters.

The Estonia match is key preparation for Jayne Ludlow’s side ahead of the second half of the UEFA Women’s Euro 2021 qualification campaign. Cymru currently sit second in Group C with two key home matches against the Faroe Islands and Norway in April.

A return to north Wales for the national side is part of the FAW’s aims to grow the women’s and girls’ game across the country. Rhiannon Roberts and Elise Hughes are two players from the area who have been a key part of the current qualification campaign.

“The news of the national team playing in Wrexham has really excited me,” said Elise Hughes. “Having grown up in the area, I hope the fans turn up in their numbers and we inspire young girls to help the game grow in north Wales.”

The last time the team played at Wrexham was in June 2012, when Natasha Harding scored a first half hat-trick as Wales ran out comfortable 5-0 winners over Israel in a Euro 2013 qualifier. Sarah Wiltshire and Hannah Keryakoplis were Wales’ other scorers on the day.

Tickets are priced £5 for adults and £2 for Under-16s and Over-65s.

Women’s Muratti to return The Football Associations of Guernsey and Jersey are pleased to announce that the Women’s Muratti will return to the inter-insular football calendar in 2020.

The match will take place at Springfield in Jersey on Sunday 17th May, the day after the Senior Men’s Muratti Final. It is the first time the match will have been played since 2016.

Guernsey FA director James Falla said: “We are all delighted to see the return of the Women’s Muratti in 2020. The introduction of the CI Women’s League, with the invaluable support of our partners at Condor Ferries, has been a major development for the women’s game in Guernsey, and the growth in player numbers and interest we have seen so far is exciting “The return of the Muratti is an important step forward for the growth of the women’s game in the island, as we still maintain our focus on the development of our squad for the 2021 NatWest Island Games in Guernsey and beyond.”

Jersey FA CEO Jean-Luc Desbois added: “We’re particularly pleased to confirm the women’s match is back on the calendar, giving our women’s side more competitive action following on from their fixtures in the Southern Counties Cup Competition.”

The game will form part of an expanded Muratti weekend in Jersey from Friday 15 to Sunday 17 May, also planned to feature matches for Over-50s, walking football and disability football.

Rotherham’s goals came from a Nat Shaw hat-trick, Zoe Beresford (2), Rachel Hale and Amy Pollock, with Tia Stancill scoring both for Sheffield.

We talk to…..

Helen Ward (Watford)

Watford made an impressive move into the Fourth Round of the Women’s FA Cup on Sunday with a 5-0 victory over Plymouth Argyle, who are one of their rivals in the Southern Premier Division title race.

We talked to Watford striker Helen Ward, who was full of praise for the whole team for their performance against Plymouth and is looking forward to the trip to either Fylde or Sunderland in the next round, as well as what she feels will stay a close title race for the remainder of the season:

HW: It was obviously a very pleasing result last weekend, keeping a clean sheet is especially important as we know how well Plymouth have done in front of goal this season so to keep them out was testament not only to the way we played and defended, but also to our coaches and manager who set us up in a way that would help us and dominate both in and out of possession. I don’t know if it is the best we have played, but it’s certainly up there.

HW: Yeah, I think 2-0 is always a nice score but the other team know that one goal can swing momentum and change the game in their favour. A team who have been disappointing in the first half will often come out fighting in the second so for Leggy to score so early was great for us and almost put the result beyond doubt.

HW: I think when you play teams relatively close together, the way they play is always a bit fresher in your mind. We were aware of their danger areas and we analysed the footage as a group to pinpoint what we needed to do this time around to perhaps limit their efforts on goal.

At the same time, we also made sure we looked at what worked for us and how to maximise the players and the style we have to ensure we caused problems for them.

HW: Obviously, in terms of logistics, a Northern team is often a bit trickier to negotiate but in terms of the possible teams we could face, it is great for the FAWNL to know they will have a representative in the next round. It is also good to pitch ourselves against a side who are at the same tier as us, but who we don’t often get the opportunities to play. We went up to Middlesbrough last season and did well there so let’s hope we can do similar this time around.

HW: Portsmouth are a good side with good players, we know that. We faced them in the league on the opening day of the season and we performed okay. I feel we have developed a lot as a team and a squad since then and I’ve no doubt they feel the same. We are on a good run at the moment and feeling confident but we know we are up there to be shot at so we don’t take any game lightly.

HW: Yeah, as I said in the last question, we are really happy with where we are at the minute and I genuinely believe we haven’t hit the peak of our performances yet. We have a couple of players who are coming back from injury, too, which will strengthen us further and hopefully see us continue on this run for as long as possible.

HW: I think there are a few sides who will still fancy their chances of winning the title this season. There’s not much between us all at the moment so we know how important every game is. Crawley are the closest at the moment and have some excellent players but you can’t rule out the likes of Plymouth, Cardiff and Oxford. I think everyone still has to play each other again at least once so anything can happen.

HW: I think that, although it was disappointing at the time, the decision to take a step back from the WSL/Championship was the right one. We, as a club, were not in the right position to move forward and compete at that level on or off the pitch. What the club have done since then has been excellent and we feel like we have built ourselves up in the right way to, hopefully, re-establish ourselves in the top two divisions. If we as players can do the job on the pitch, then I’ve absolutely no doubt in my mind that the club will support us and help us grow as a club.

Our thanks to Helen!

Pompey show True colours Crawley Wasps 1 Portsmouth 2 Portsmouth have set up an intriguing FAWNL League Cup quarter final tie against Southampton FC with a convincing away performance against last season’s beaten finalists Crawley Wasps at Sussex FA Headquarters in Lancing in the week before Christmas.

A fine Pompey team effort restricted Wasps to a bare minimum of chances, whilst a goal in each half was reward for a strong display. Wasps halved the arrears with a last second penalty conversion but it was a case of 'too little, too late' for the Sussex side.

The visitors opened on the front foot and Charmaine True gave them the lead on Tamsin De Bunsen controls, watched by Megan Stow (www.jamesprickett.co.uk). eight minutes, pouncing on a loose ball to fire home from fifteen yards. Rosie McDonnell was finding useful space down the left and sent in a couple of low crosses which were well defended, whilst Tamsin De Bunsen and Hayley Bridge both had efforts just wide, the latter after a strong run through the centre of the Crawley defence.

At the other end, a couple of Rachel Palmer corners caused some alarm for Pompey but in general, Hannah Haughton in goal was well protected by a strong defence and Wasps struggled to create any clear openings.

Charlotte Owen created the first real opening for Wasps on the restart but Haughton was down well to hold her low shot on 50 minutes. Maria Ledezma-Viso was denied in similar fashion on 64 minutes as the hosts looked to up the pace but Pompey got a crucial boost a minute later.

McDonnell raced away down the left and sent in a lofted cross-shot from close to the touchline which drifted over keeper Lauren Graves and dropped in at the far post to double Portsmouth's advantage on 65 minutes.

Hard as Wasps probed for an opening, it was always the visitors who had control of the midfield, moving the ball with great fluency at times without creating any further clear openings.

As the match entered the fifth minute of additional time, Wasps finally opened up the Pompey defence with a good break and Haughton was penalised as she challenged the attacker. Naomi Cole converted the spot kick but there was barely time for a restart as the visitors claimed a deserved victory and the exciting reward of a home Solent Derby tie in the New Year, a repeat of the Hampshire FA Cup Quarter Final in 2018-19 which attracted a ground record crowd at Baffins Milton Rovers FC.

Build the right environment at Essex The Essex County FA are running a free 'Female-Friendly Club Training' event in Ilford on Wednesday 29th January for clubs looking to grow new girls’ teams or find out more about what an ideal female-friendly environment looks like.

Running from 6.30pm - 9.45pm, the Barclays-supported, interactive workshop will provide practical advice for clubs to help develop an environment which encourages women and girls to get involved in football. The training at the Jack Carter Centre (also known as Frenford Clubs) is aimed at committee members and coaches to help grow participation.

Attendees will understand and discuss real life case studies to enable them to build their own game plan for growth. Female football is a major part of the Essex County FA ‘Moving Forward’ Strategy, with a target to deliver bespoke development and meet the annual needs of the women's and girls' game for 5,104 players and 115 Wildcats Centres by 2021.

Spaces can be booked online at www.essexfa.com. Information on female football is also shared on Twitter by @EssexCountyFA and by searching for ‘EssexFootball’ on Facebook.

Vacancy at Manchester working group The Manchester FA are now recruiting a for role within their Women and Girls' Working Group.

The Independent Chair will lead the Women and Girls’ Working Group and assist the FDO (Women and Girls’) strategically, helping to support the development of our broad football offer for female participants.

We are looking for individuals who have a credible knowledge and understanding of Women’s and Girls’ football and have a passion for grassroots football within Greater Manchester.

To apply, please visit the Manchester FA website. The deadline for applications is 12 noon on .

Former Chair of the Women & Girls' Working Group, Kate Ramsey, adds: "Over the last couple of years, we have laid strong foundations for the Women and Girls' Working Group, with some of our key successes being: ● increased profile and social media reach for the female game across Manchester ● significant increase in the number of Wildcats delivery centres ● innovation fund bid creation and idea generation “UK-wide, we are seeing record attendances at elite women's games and increased television coverage, both of which are helping to grow the fan base for the sport. Manchester FA is committed to increasing access, participation and retention across the grassroots game, as well as providing clear and supported development pathways for talented players.

“There is now a real opportunity for the right person to further develop the Women and Girls Working Group on the back of the 2019 World Cup and moving towards the UEFA 2021 Women's competition. With Manchester as a host city for this event, we must maximise the opportunities to showcase all that is good about the women's and girls' game whilst celebrating Manchester's very special place as a sporting city.

“It is with regret that I am having to stand down from the group, but I will remain involved, firstly by directly supporting the process to identify my replacement and then by ensuring a full handover.

“It has been an honour and a pleasure to work with so many dedicated people in this role, and I am really pleased with the progress made by the group since it was established.”
