Women's FA Cup: Two forces footballers through to round 4 with key coaches still in draw

Two military footballers are into the Women's FA Cup fourth round after successful results in the competition this weekend.

RAF captain Cat Beaver helped Fulham to a 2-1 win over Brentford at Bedfont Sports Club and was picked in the starting line-up.

Exeter City, with Army footballer Courtney Jones coming on as a substitute, are through after an extra-time 3-1 win over Worthing.

It was disappointment for RAF and Shrewsbury Town's Jeorgia Carr who started the underdog's clash with Wolves which they lost by a heavy margin 14-0.

Her Air Force teammate and usual Shrewsbury captain Pip Wilson was missing for that game, but the Wolves win means RAF Sergeant Dan McNamara will have a presence in round four as he is head coach of the FA Women's National League North team.

Elsewhere, UK Armed Forces head coach Karl Milgate's Oxford United will still be in the hat for the draw after their match against Bristol Rovers was called off with the away side deeming it unsafe to travel due to the effects of Storm Darragh.

That match has been rescheduled for 15 December.
