Brentford Women will face Farnham Town in the Capital Cup final at Meadowbank Stadium on Sunday (3pm kick-off BST).

The Bees lifted the trophy last season following a 4-0 win over Leatherhead and could become champions for a second-successive year this weekend.

Nour Aboul Kheir said she was excited about the challenge and keen to play her part in adding another trophy to the club’s growing collection.

“This season we’ve had a lot of success in the league, so it’s nice to take a break and look at the cup and win one to add to the two we won last season - we’re really looking forward to it,” she said.

“We’ve all worked really hard for it. I’m quite excited because last season I wasn’t involved, so I’m quite looking forward to being involved in this matchday squad.”

The clash follows on from Tuesday’s tense 1-0 win at Denham United in the London and South East Regional Women's Division One North, providing a rare double game week for Karleigh Osborne’s side.

“The game on Tuesday was a really tough one so I think emotions were definitely high after getting that win," added Aboul Kheir.

"It put us in a really good spot in the league and we can hopefully seal promotion really soon with the next game.

“Everyone’s fighting for a spot in the squad, so we’re ready.”

Sunday's final will be the first time Brentford have played Farnham this term, but the west Londoners' preparations will remain the same as normal.

“I don’t think we prepare differently, we look at every team as it’s going to be a challenge, we shouldn’t drop our standards no matter what league they’re in,” she explained.

“We’re a tier-six team taking on teams in the leagues above and winning, so it shouldn’t be any different for teams below us to come and try to do the same thing to us.”

Last time out

The Bees played out a tense LSE Division One North clash with Denham United in midweek, with Chloe Logie’s second half-goal enough to secure a 1-0 win.

Brentford were forced to fight for 90 minutes under the lights at Windsor & Eton Football Club but Osborne’s group did enough to secure a vital three points in their quest for promotion.

Previously in the Capital Cup, the Bees cruised to a 5-0 win over South London at Bedfont Sports Club.

Despite going into half-time goalless, braces from Logie and Ashley Cheatley alongside one goal from Alissa Down were enough to book the side’s place in Sunday’s final.
