FC United 3-2 Stockport County. 13 May 18. Argyle cup final

Another day with the FC women's team, another piece of history and this time is was not only the double-double, but also the treble after FC had gained promotion the previous week, and once again the killer blow was delivered late on by captain marvel herself, Kirsty Chambers. In the opening half hour, the Reds had not performed to their own high standards, but never fell behind in this tough final, taking the lead on 10 minutes direct from a perfectly weighted Fran Sullivan corner. County waited a quarter hour before striking back, once again from a corner with Nicola Connor quickest to the ball to poke it in for the equaliser. United regained the lead just before the break through the unerring boot of Jess Battle as she pounced on a ball being knocked clear and the in-form forward leathered her shot inside the near upright for a 2-1 lead. The majority of the second half was quite scrappy, with neither side able to eek out any good chances and it fell to the final nervy 10 minutes for the action to ramp up in this tense Argyle cup final. The blues hit first from a free-kick which wasn't cleared properly and in the middle of the melee was the trusted foot of ex-United striker Shellby Wolstencroft to level the exploits on 83 minutes. But cometh the hour and 26 minutes, cometh the woman, in the shape of ultra-trusted Chambers as she danced inside the area, forging a space for herself on the favoured left and rifling home a winner as good as any to give FC the 3-2 winning scoreline and the treble was now completed.
