They will be looking to climb the table once the cup action is out of the way with several games in hand on all of the sides above them in the current standings.

Marc Surtees’ women’s side take to the pitch for their mouthwatering FA Women’s Cup tie with Oxford United on Sunday (2pm kick-off).

The Kestrels were also successful via a penalty shootout in the third qualifying round which saw them triumph over Aylesford.

Woodley have made a superb start to life in the Southern

Region Women’s Premier Division with four wins, a draw and a loss putting them in third after six matches.

The team now faces a tough test up against the FA Women’s National League South side.
