Leeds United in FA Cup final!

Leeds United Ladies have the biggest game in the club's history in the FA Cup Final against Arsenal.


The match takes place on Monday 1 May 2006 at Millwall's New Den (1pm kick-off). There will be full match commentary with Adam Pope and Julie Callaghan on BBC Radio Leeds.

Arsenal will go into the game as favourites having already been crowned Nationwide Women's Premier League champions for the fifth time in six seasons, with an unbeaten season.

It's Leeds United's first ever Cup Final, while the Gunners will be aiming for their third League and Cup double in six years and their 24th major trophy in 15 seasons.

However centre back Lucy Ward is confident about United's chances:

 "It's a one-off game. Yes, Arsenal are a strong team but they're expected to win and that's a lot of pressure. We need to just go and play and we know we can beat them. We know we can score goals against them."
