    MATCH RESULT – FA CUP FINAL: BRIGHTON 0-4 MAN CITY

    A first ever FA Cup Final for Brighton & Hove Albion Women, and only the second in the entire club’s history – what a moment it was to be a fan of the Seagulls yesterday. The result didn’t go our way, but that doesn’t take away our pride in the team and the journey they…

    Match Review: Brighton 1-2 Spurs

    An FA Cup Final in two weeks time, undefeated in seven games, on target for a record points total in the WSL – it all made sense. Maybe too much sense. Only Spurs could put a dampener on proceedings and they had literally nothing to play for but pride. Surely they couldn’t rain on the…

    Match Result: Liverpool 2-3 Brighton

    What a day, what a game, what a win. I’m rather glad I’m not ‘reviewing’ this one with my journalistic hat on, because this was all about emotion, passion, agony, ecstasy, and many other feelings in between. I needed to be up and out of the house by 4am with my eldest daughter, who generally…

    Match Review: Brighton 1-1 Arsenal

    The tough fixtures at the end of this season just keep on coming – this time with the rescheduled WSL fixture against Arsenal at the Broadfield. With doubtless one eye on Sunday’s Women’s FA Cup Semi-Final against Liverpool, Head Coach Dario Vidosic shuffled the pack against the Gunners, with several regular substitutes pressed into starting…

    Match Review: Manchester United 1-1 Brighton

    After the victory over City last week, the sense among the fanbase was that anything was possible as Brighton travelled North to play the red half of Manchester. Could the Albion find a way to put Spurs under pressure in 5th place of the WSL table or at least make serious push to better last…

    Match Review: Brighton 3-2 Manchester City

    Looking toward the final stage of the season would have made anyone anxious. With four of the top five teams in the WSL left to play and an FA Cup Quarter-Final tie against Arsenal, away from home, many predicted an unfortunate lack of points and progress to finish the year. That’s the funny thing about…

  • Match Review: Brighton 0-0 Liverpool

    Match Review: Brighton 0-0 Liverpool

    With a win Brighton would have leapt up to 6th and left Liverpool adrift in 10th. The visitors would have held their position but gone a point behind Aston Villa and just two behind the Albion. Bearing all that in mind, of course it was always going to be a draw… Brighton & Hove Albion…

    Homegrown Heaven – Part One

    The ‘FA Home Grown Player Rule’ adopted by the Women’s Super League mandates that in each 25-woman squad there must be at least 8 players who have been registered with an English/Welsh club for three years before the end of the season in which they turn 21. That equates to effectively a third of the…

    Match Review: West Ham 3-2 Brighton

    The bare minimum you need to do to progress up the table in the Women’s Super League is to beat the teams below you. After comfortably despatching West Ham 4-1 at the Broadfield (we won’t mention the Subway Cup) and an excellent performance despite the scoreline last week against London City, hopes were high of…

    Match Review: Brighton 1-2 London City

    This was always going to be a battle of togetherness against individuality – such are the mercurial talents Michelle Kang has attracted to the Lionesses since she took over. Away from home that teamwork and grit won out and the Albion came home with three points, but they couldn’t repeat that feat yesterday despite restricting…
