Penalty shootout joy for Yachtswomen

Penalty shootout joy for Yachtswomen

Richard Giles6 Oct 2025 - 09:04

The Yachtswomen advanced to the 1st round proper of the Women's FA Cup after beating Dunstable Town 5-4 on penalties

Wroxham got off to the best possible start taking the lead after just 13 seconds with Hannah Fuller converting. However the lead lasted just 10 minutes after a defensive lapse allowed Dunstable to equalise as the side went in level at the break.

Fuller completed her brace with solid finish in the 53rd minute before a powerful header from a corner saw the hosts level again. Wroxham dominate the latter stages, hit the woodwork but were unable to find the winner as the game went to the dreaded penalty shootout.

The Yachtswomen changed their keeper in the final minute of normal time replacing Walford with Willams for the shootout and she saved the second Dunstable spot kick.
Wroxham scored all five with Fuller sealing the tie with the fifth penalty as the whole team and supporters celebrated.

The draw for the 1st round proper will be released at 7pm today
