Gwalia United host Cheltenham Town Ladies at Newport Stadium on Wednesday, 12 February 2025, in a crucial FA Women’s National League Southern Premier clash. Kick-off is 19:45. Gwalia come into this fixture with mixed results in recent weeks. Their last league outing saw them lose a pulsating encounter to Watford 3-0 but secure a 2-0 victory against Milton Keynes Dons. However, a 1-1 draw against Exeter City on the road indicated an ability to compete with the best teams in the league.
The two sides last met on 27 September 2024, in a thrilling encounter that ended in a 2-2 draw. Cheltenham took a 2-0 lead through goals from Doris Greenwood and Una Lue, but Gwalia United mounted a spirited comeback with strikes from Ellie Sargent and Kylie Nolan to share the spoils. For Gwalia United, forward Kylie Nolan’s pace and finishing ability will be crucial for the hosts, as well as the control and tenacity of captain Chloe Lloyd.
