Chatham Town Women took part in the club’s awards evening on Saturday but are back in cup action tonight.

It’s two and a half weeks since Chats last played a competitive game, rounding off their league campaign with a 3-0 away win at Luton Town on Sunday, April 26.

Keith Boanas’ side face Sutton United Women in the quarter-final of the Women’s Combined Counties Midweek Cup.

If Chats get through against Sutton, the semi-final at the Bauvill will be on either May 19 or 21.

AFC Porchester have already made it through to the final, patiently waiting for their opponents. That final has been scheduled for Wednesday, May 27 at Cobham FC’s Reg Madgwick Stadium.

They return to action after a night of celebration at the Bauvill Stadium on Saturday. Chats finished third in the league, won the Isthmian League Cup and were Kent Cup finalists.
