Birmingham Challenge Cup final preview | Wolves vs Rugby Borough

Wolves Women face Rugby Borough in the final of the Birmingham Challenge Cup at Burton Albion’s Pirelli Stadium on Tuesday evening.

Dan McNamara’s side are in the final of the competition for the third successive season and have successfully lifted the trophy in the last two.

Victory over West Bromwich Albion at Walsall in 2022 was followed up last year as the Old Gold defeated Stourbridge at Molineux to be crowned champions in back-to-back seasons.

This time around, Wolves are going for a third title on the bounce and come into the game on the back of eight wins from their final nine league outings, but have Rugby Borough standing in their way.

Wolves progressed past Sutton Coldfield Town, Boldmere St Michaels and West Brom on penalties to book their spot at the Pirelli.

A late Jade Cross equaliser was required in the semi-final, before Wolves once again claimed the bragging rights over their rivals with a shootout victory.

Meanwhile, Rugby Borough, who finished third in the Southern Premier Division, have had to overcome Lye Town, Stourbridge and Aston Villa on route to the final.

Previously Coventry United, Borough have won the competition twice before under their Coventry name in 2017/18 and 2018/19.
