Paget Lions determined to extend dream FA Cup run (Royal Gazette)

Jaime Ramsay, the Paget Community Club president, expressed his pride over the team's “dream” run in the FA Cup after they were pitted against North Village ...

“We are taking one step at a time,” Ramsay said. “Hopefully, we can hold on and continue the run.” “We are looking forward to great things and are just honoured to be here.” “We are honoured to be in the semi-finals, so we are looking to take on Goliath and, hopefully, be victorious.” “When nobody believes in us, we believe in ourselves and in our community; we are looking to overcome. “We are a small team among giants but I believe in David and Goliath, so we are going to put our best foot forward,” he added.

There also remain plenty of opportunities for upsets, with seven sides from outside the WSL among the 16 teams still in the competition. Here are some of the ...

There are three all-WSL ties in round five, including Aston Villa travelling to West Ham in good form. Such is the case this week with Bristol City and Manchester City. Villa manager Carla Ward praised Nobbs at her media conference on Friday, saying: "She's been brilliant, she's an experienced winner. United have won only one of their past five meetings with Durham. Coventry are five points from safety in the second tier but have found some form. They will face each other yet again next week in the League Cup final, before a final league match on 21 May. "We are not performing to the level we can and I take responsibility," he added. We have to be serious, and have full focus on this game." The difference, other than gender, comes in the form of the respective Bristol teams - while the men are firmly mid-table, the women are battling for a return to the WSL after two years away. On Tuesday, Championship side Bristol City host top-flight title-chasing Manchester City in the men's FA Cup. On Sunday, Championship side Bristol City host top-flight title-chasing Manchester City in the women's FA Cup. After losing their first 11 league matches, they have now won two of their past three, and travel to a Brighton side with the leakiest defence in the WSL - 39 goals conceded in 11 matches,

City tasted success in the FA Cup for the first time in their history in 2021, but were knocked out at the fourth round stage by Nottingham Forest last season. City meanwhile will look at the FA Cup as the most realistic route to playing European football again next season. City overcame Gillingham and Walsall, with Kelechi Iheanacho getting the winning goals in 1-0 victories. [comments section](https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/blackburn-rovers-plan-leicester-city-8187648#comments-wrapper) Two players in Ben Brereton Diaz and Harry Pickering, who are doubtful for the game against QPR will also travel with the squad. While the two games are played at home for City, Blackburn will be on their travels this weekend.

Both Spurs and the Royals will be aiming to return to winning ways this Sunday as they turn their attention to the FA Cup.

The 34-year-old provides bags of experience, and has useful attributes in midfield and attack, so the Tottenham backline will have to be well aware of her in the cup tie.

Scoring in all but one game should fill the 28-year-old with confidence, especially having got on the scoresheet in the last three, and she will look to continue her fine form in an attempt to guide Spurs through on Sunday. [Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.vavel.com/en/data/tottenham-hotspur) and [Reading](https://www.vavel.com/en/football/2023/02/04/womens-football/1136734-manchester-united-vs-everton-womens-super-league-preview-gameweek-13-2023.html), prepare to clash for the third time this season on Sunday, but on this occasion, a place in the Vitality Women's FA Cup Quarter-Finals is up for grabs.

[Manchester United,](https://www.vavel.com/en/data/manchester-united) albeit they did mark down their last victory with an emphatic thrashing of London City in the previous round of the FA Cup. Putting all that aside, neither of these two teams have lifted the prestigious FA Cup trophy, nor have made it to the Wembley stage, so a win here would be a huge morale boost. In fairness to the Royals, they have only played a single game since their penalty shoot-out win over Leicester in the Fourth Round, however, that materialized to be a two-goal beating by Liverpool.

‘I’m not on the panel but I think there would be plenty of decisions where perhaps we could all have a case for that over the course of a season. ‘That’s why you prepare squads which are going to be ready for the whole season.

[After] long haul flights they are not going to be at their best immediately and then they have to perform two days later. ‘Everybody could argue a case for lots of situations. ‘All that teams ever ask for is consistency,’ Hayes said.
