Liverpool Feds will get the opportunity to test themselves against Women's Super League oppposition should they triumph in their FA Cup third-round tie this weekend.
It's been an impressive season for the club, who gained promotion to the third-tier of the women's game last May following a stellar campaign in which they lost just one game. Having been born out of the Liverpool Institute of Higher Education (now known as Liverpool Hope University) in 1990, the club has spent the last three decades on a measured upward trajectory.
Despite being an independent club, with a team made up of police officers, teachers and doctors, the Feds are now competing against clubs like Wolves and Nottingham Forest, who are backed by Premier League outfits. And they are holding their own; the club is currently seventh in the table with three wins and three draws from ten games.
