Jade Keogh celebrates her Fourth Round winner

Durham Ladies’ Beth Hepple has collected the latest FA Women’s Cup Player of the Round award following her performance against Sheffield.

With Durham trailing 1-0, the midfielder hauled her side back into the contest with an unstoppable 40-yard screamer.

Andy Thorpe’s charges kicked on and ran out 3-1 winners, but they slipped out of the competition at the Fifth Round stage, losing 2-1 to Portsmouth.

The England U19 midfielder was presented with her commemorative award by Durham FA's John Topping and Mike Birt from The FA Women's Committee.

Copsewood Coventry Ladies captain Jodie McGuckin picked up the inaugural award last month after her star turn against Larkhall Athletic.

Meanwhile, Julian Hart was judged to have taken the best photograph of the Fourth Round – Gillingham’s Jade Keogh celebrating her winner against Preston (above).
