Having already secured promotion to Tier 3 after clinching the FAWNL Division One Midlands title, Lightning now set their sights on adding the County Cup to a successful season.
Throughout their County Cup campaign, Lightning have used the competition to integrate and promote talent from their sister club, Loughborough Foxes.
Rising stars like Isabel Sheridan, and Ruby Freer have seized their opportunities, each finding the back of the net and showcasing the depth and future strength of the Lightning squad.
The cup run has been nothing short of dominant with four wins, 54 goals scored, and just two conceded, a record that underlines Lightning’s attacking firepower and defensive solidity.
Their opponents will be Leicester City Ladies PGA U21, a technically gifted side who have impressed in the PGA U21 Women’s League this season.
This will be the third consecutive County Cup final meeting between the two sides, with one win apiece from the previous encounters. Lightning will be hungry to reclaim the trophy this time and end their season in style.
With silverware on the line, anticipation is building for what promises to be a thrilling clash at Holmes Park. For Lightning, it’s a chance to complete a remarkable season with another triumph; for Leicester’s U21s, an opportunity to cause an upset against higher-tier opposition.
