Sutton Coldfield Town (5) 1-1 (4) Shifnal Town

A game very much of two halves, the Royals dominated the first-half scoring in the 5th minute thanks to an excellent counter-attack finished off by Caitlin Hopwood following good work down the left and a low cross from Brittany Civil

Other opportunities fell to Caitlin Hopwood and Brittany Civil in the first-half

A disappointing second-half invited Shifnal back into the game who took their chance well

With the score even after 90 minutes, the Royals were clinical in their shootout scoring all 5 penalties and Charlotte McElroy saving 1 as they put their name in the hat for the next round

Player-of-the-Match was debutant Georgia Murphy who showed strength, determination and desire in midfield

The Royals Woman have been drawn at home against either Long Eaton United or Leafield Athletic in the first round proper on 13th November
