The Whites had to overcome tough competition in their run to the final, beating Bradford Park Avenue, Harrogate Town and Bradford City along the way. 

Current holders Brighouse showed a lethal touch in front of goal as they set about retaining their trophy, on the way to the final. 

Games against Leeds United Women Under-23s, Brayton Belles Ladies and Altofts Ladies saw Town net a total of 27 goals in just three games as they emphatically made their way through the knock-out stages. 

Leah Jade Embley is leading the goalscoring charts for Town with an impressive 24 goals in 29 appearances. She will need to be watched closely, but for the Whites, they have a threat of their own in Laura Bartup who has scored 16 times in 25 outings. 

Brighouse are in the league above the Whites, after being promoted last season. They currently sit in 7th spot in the FAWNL Northern Premier Division, with nine wins from 18 matches. Leeds remain in 3rd place in the FAWNL Division One North, having also won nine times in 18 games. 

All form is off the table in a cup clash, and Thursday’s final promises to be an enthralling encounter between two teams looking to finish the season with silverware to their name!
