The girls were due to play their Lancashire FA Challenge Cup tie at home to Blackburn Eagles last weekend but the opponents withdrew from the fixture. Dale will now face FC St Helens away in the next round on 15th November.
That means we go back to a fortnight ago, when they travelled to Atherton Laburnum Rovers. Despite Sophie Coates equalising from the penalty spot, Dale were subject to their second consecutive defeat in the North West Regional Division.
Visitors Salford City have since leapfrogged Lee Atkinson’s side, following their fine start to the campaign. They picked up a fifth win from six on Sunday, dismantling Altrincham 4-1 with ten players to move up to second behind Wythenshawe Town.
Supporters are free to attend the fixture, with-kick off at 2pm. The address is Kingsway Park High School, Turf Hill Rd, Rochdale OL16 4XA
