Palace [Women] start Conti Cup with a win
Crystal Palace’s FA Women’s Continental League Cup campaign got off to the perfect start, with Dean Davenport’s side defeating Lewes 3-2, just two weeks after drawing 1-1 with them in the league.
Davenport made several changes for the cup clash, with club captain Freya Holdaway, Leeta Rutherford and Lucy Gillett dropping to the bench with the likes of Nicole Pepper, Emma Gibbon and Magda Mosengo coming into the starting line-up.
It was goals galore in both halves for the watching crowd, with the half-time whistle coming with the Eagles winning 2-1.
