F U L L - T I M E
Today, the unstoppable force met the immoveable mass, at least on paper. However, there was a clear winner with eight goals (including two hat-tricks), yet another clean sheet so it is the girls from E10 who move on to round 2 of the FA Cup and collect today's large pot of prize money. Such a win against the dominant club in the Southern region of Tier six must send a clear message to the folks in the Ivory towers of the FA that something must be done to correct the situation - by the season's end at the very latest.

11 mins
Leyton Orient, playing in their all-green away kit, are starting to look on top in terms of possession and time spent in their opponents' half. However, this is a good Farnham side who appear to be adjusting to the needs of the game.

!!! G O A L !!!
Lucy Porter shatters the deadlock (sorry Dulcet Dave) with a cracking hit to the top corner. No chance for the home keeper. We're away!!!
04 mins
A certain amount of probing and sizing up going on as these sides clearly have respect for each other's record. Orient looking calm, Farnham looking a bit rushed. Early days of course.
01 mins
A tense atmosphere as the game starts... COYOs!!!!
⇧ MATCH COVERAGE ⇧
2 mins to kick off
The teamsheet shows Jason Stephens has picked his strongest side (in our opinion) although a notable returnee Lois Heuchan is on the bench whose credentials mean she is probably disappointed not to be part of the starting 11. Gemma Baker also returns to take a bench seat. We're waiting for the off - after the usual few minutes delay....
5 mins to kick off
It's nice to see 104 people are already tuned in to this broadcast, can we beat the record set last week when 212 people were reading our updates during the first half? We don't know who you are because we don't use cookies, but please accept a warm welcome from us. The weather seems to be behaving itself so that's a positive. These games tend to start a few (or several) minutes late so if you don't see updates (above, don't worry, they will come). We're now waiting for a glimpse at the team sheet.
10 mins to kick off
A side-battle is going on today as the 1st round is contested throughout the country by teams from the far north to Cornwall. The current top scorers for the women's FA Cup are: [Cleo Rawlings - Millbrook Ladies - 11 goals] - [our own Sammy Rowland - Leyton Orient - 11 goals] - and [Keri Mallinson - Penrith - 10 goals]. Here's hoping Sammy can add to her tally of 11 goals and go on to win the FA's Mitre Golden Ball competition, a nationally recognised and prestigeous award given to the Cup's highest scorer. Sammy has already won it before, she could become the first double winner in history.
20 mins to kick off
Farnham will have heard about our 'new' Orient team and how it is dominating Tier 7 in the Greater London Area, however Farnham are similarly dominating their Tier 6 league in Surrey and all points due south. Both teams have an unshakeable belief in their own talents and expect their respective all-win 100% records to stay intact today - someone is going to be deeply disappointed!
30 mins to kick off
Good afternoon everyone, welcome to today's LIVE TEXT coverage of the O's women's first round cup tie away at Farnham Town. A possible big club awaits the winners in the next round (when Tier 3 clubs join in), there's also the matter of £6,000 prize money to the winners of today's game. We'll be back before the kick-off.
News from this morning....
It's a chilly start to the matchday, grey skies and single digit temps forecasted. Let's hope the rain stays away. There's no new team news although coach Stephens prefers to keep his team-sheet under wraps until the last moment. Something has to 'give' today, both teams have won every match so far this season, both are super confident... one of them is going to be disappointed come the full-time whistle.
We'll be back and 'live' at around 1:30pm. See you then.
