The Women’s FA Cup 2nd Round will determine which 24 sides join the WSL2 teams in the next draw on Monday evening.

Dulwich Hamlet versus Portishead Town was chosen as the featured broadcast, airing live on TNT Sports 1 and HBO Max on Saturday, 14 November, with coverage beginning at 2.30pm.

While ninth-placed FA WNL Division 1 South East side Dulwich play a level above their Somerset visitors, Portishead are the South West League leaders with a 100% record.

Eight other Regional League teams remain in the competition, but only Barking and SJR Worksop have home advantage, over Cambridge United and Halifax respectively.

One delayed 1st Round tie sees Lye Town face Peterborough United for the right to host Rugby Borough.

Mangotsfield United’s Helena Constantinou remains at the top of the Mitre Golden Ball standings, having scored 12 goals in the competition so far.

Of teams left in the competition, Barking’s Shawna Harvey and Bridgwater United’s Megan Jarvis are the highest goalscorers, both sitting on 6 goals each.

The draw for the Third Round Proper will take place on Monday 16 November at Ipswich Town, streamed live on the Women’s FA Cup YouTube channel at 7pm, as well as on TNT Sports Football YouTube and Channel 4 Sport YouTube.
