In one half of the draw, Bletchley face familiar rivals Milton Keynes in a local derby that needs little introduction. With pride, bragging rights, and a place in the final at stake, form often goes out of the window when these two meet.

Both sides know each other well, and that familiarity is expected to make for a fiercely contested encounter. Fast starts, crunching tackles, and moments of individual brilliance could be the difference as each team looks to seize local supremacy and keep their cup dream alive.

Champions Defend Their Crown

Meanwhile, the spotlight turns to the reigning champions Buckingham Swans, who host a determined Old Northamptonians side eager to end the holders’ reign.

Buckingham Swans enter the semi-final with confidence and experience, fully aware of what it takes to win at this stage of the competition. However, Old Northamptonians arrive with nothing to lose and everything to gain, hoping to spoil the party and book a historic place in the final.

With a fiery local derby and a classic champions-versus-challengers clash, the Women’s Alliance Cup semi-finals have all the ingredients for a memorable chapter in the competition’s story. Only two teams will progress—but all four will leave everything on the pitch in pursuit of silverware and glory.
