Chatham Town Women face Sutton United Ladies in the Isthmian League Cup quarter-final tie at the Bauvill Stadium on Wednesday night

Chatham Town beat Sutton United in the Women’s FA Cup third round on Sunday - and the sides meet again tonight in another knockout contest.

A 3-0 win for Chatham at Sutton’s Gander Green Lane came ahead of tonight’s Isthmian League Cup quarter-final tie where the two sides face off at the Bauvill Stadium for a semi-final spot.

Chats boss Keith Boanas plans to make a few changes to his team from the weekend, but is keen to keep their run going in a competition which they won last season, beating Billericay Town 5-0 in the final.

Boanas said: “It’s the cup we won last year, our first trophy as Chatham, and it isn’t one we want to give away.

“They’ve said they will be coming at us and give us a game. I will rotate one or two in the starting line-up, but it’s a cup that’s in our cabinet, and we don’t want to give it back.”

Chatham are on a high after their weekend success in the FA Women’s Cup, which was followed by the draw on Monday for the fourth round

They will play York City Ladies in the next round, in January. The Yorkshire side are the lowest-ranked team left in the competition, sitting just above the drop-zone in National League Division 1 North.

The Isthmian League Cup game against Sutton is Chatham’s final fixture of the year - with their scheduled league game against AFC Sudbury off after the opposition informed the FA that they would be unable to field a team.

A decision on what happens with that match will be down to the association.

Boanas will be without his regular goalkeeper Simone Eligon for the Sutton rematch, as the Trinidad and Tobago international is now away for the Christmas break.

Abby Bavarik will step in between the sticks while Boanas will consider whether to make changes elsewhere. Her debut
