Hammers host Cup Final

The prestigious final will see runners-up for the last two seasons - Charlton Athletic - take on Everton and will be broadcast live on BBC One.

The Toffees beat Arsenal 3-0 in their Semi Final, while the Addicks overcame Bristol Rovers 1-0 in their match.  Both teams, currently occupying the top two spots in The FA Nationwide Premier League, will be looking to take home the trophy as part of the double - winning both The FA Women's Cup and The FA Nationwide Women's Premier League - and it should be a closely fought contest. 

Charlton will be hoping it will be 'third time lucky' for them in the Final, having lost 3-0 to Fulham in 2003 and by the same scoreline last season to Arsenal, when Julie Fleeting scored a hat-trick. Everton meanwhile will be hoping to take the trophy that they last lifted in 1989 under their former name, Leasowe Pacific.

Ray Kiddell, Chairman of The FA Women's Football Committee said: "We are delighted that The FA Cup Final will be held at West Ham United's Upton Park.  The two teams are closely matched and hungry for victory so it should be an exciting encounter.

"I hope that the players, officials and supporters of both clubs, as well as West Ham fans and girls teams from around the country will get behind the teams at a showcase Final, and enjoy a fantastic match."

Terence Brown, Chairman of West Ham United, added: "The FA Women's Cup has a proud tradition and we are delighted to have been asked to host this match at the Boleyn Ground by The Football Association.  We hope that as many of our supporters as possible turn out to support this fixture and see the strongest teams in the women's game in action."
