‘We need to refocus on other competitions’

Joe Montemurro provided an honest assessment of our SSE Women’s FA Cup exit on Sunday, after slipping to a 3-0 defeat to Chelsea at Kingsmeadow.

on the overall performance…
They were just better than us. They have the squad capacity, they were better in front of goal and deserved to win the game.
