Liverpool FC Women’s U21s
Liverpool FC Women’s U21s are set to compete in the final of the Liverpool County FA Women’s Senior Cup on Tuesday night, taking on Mossley Hill Athletic Ladies at Walton Hall Park. The young Reds are hoping to end their season on a high note, having demonstrated a mix of promise and progression throughout their campaign.
A Season of Promise and Progress
The U21s have enjoyed a strong season, finishing third in their league and reaching the semi-finals of another cup competition. The team’s journey to the Liverpool County FA Women’s Senior Cup final has been particularly impressive. In March, they triumphed over Liverpool Feds in a thrilling 5-4 victory in the semi-final, showing their ability to compete against strong opponents and perform under pressure.
Head coach Simon O’Neill is full of praise for his players’ achievements this season. He acknowledges the hard work that has gone into reaching the final, especially after facing a tough Liverpool Feds team in the semi-final. “It’s a great reward for what’s been a pretty successful season,” he said. “They’ve done very well to reach it, especially beating a strong Liverpool Feds team.”

High Motivation for the Final
The final will hold special significance for the U21s, as it marks their last game together as a group. Many of the second-year players were part of the team that reached last year’s final but ultimately fell short, losing to Liverpool Feds. This time, they are determined to make up for that disappointment and secure the cup.
“It’ll be the last game for the girls as a group, so it’d be nice for them to win,” O’Neill explained. “We’ve got quite a few of the second-years who played in the final last year, so they know what it’s like to get all that way and not win. I’m sure they’ll do everything in their power to make sure it doesn’t happen twice in a row.”
Academy’s Impact on the First Team
The LFC Women’s Academy has played a crucial role in supporting the senior squad this season. Several U21 players have made their debuts or joined the first-team matchday squads, gaining valuable experience at the highest level.
Midfielder Mia Leath made her senior debut against Manchester City in the Barclays Women’s Super League, showcasing the Academy’s ability to produce top-tier talent. Eva Spencer and Charlie Chadwick have also been part of matchday squads, demonstrating the depth and quality of the U21 squad.
Additionally, Academy graduate Zara Shaw recently returned to training after recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury sustained during pre-season. Her comeback highlights the resilience and determination of the young players, as well as the supportive environment fostered by the Academy.

Connectivity and Aspirations at Melwood
The AXA Melwood Training Centre serves as the home base for both the senior squad and the U21s, providing an environment where the young players can learn and grow alongside their more experienced counterparts. The close proximity of the senior and Academy teams allows for a seamless transition and greater integration.
O’Neill emphasizes the value of this connectivity, stating, “It’s wonderful that we have the first team literally training on the next pitch, so they can have a look and see, ‘That’s where I want to progress to.’ The connectivity at Melwood is great for our girls. They can watch first-team training, see how they behave, and observe the differences in speed of play and physicality.”
The support and mentorship provided by the senior squad’s coaching staff also play a significant role in the development of the U21 players. O’Neill added, “The fact all the first-team staff know the girls is helpful – they come and watch. And seeing your peers and your friends doing it should give you extra motivation.”
Anticipation and Excitement for the Final
The Liverpool County FA Women’s Senior Cup final promises to be an exciting match, with the young Reds eager to secure victory and end their season on a triumphant note. The game kicks off at 7 pm BST at Walton Hall Park, with admission set at £3 for adults and free for children. Free parking is also available on-site.
The Reds’ fans will undoubtedly turn out in support of their young team, creating an electrifying atmosphere at the stadium. As the U21s seek redemption and strive to lift the cup, the players’ dedication and determination will be on full display.
Liverpool FC Women’s U21s have the opportunity to showcase their talent, resilience, and teamwork on one of the season’s biggest stages. With the guidance of their coaching staff and the support of their loyal fans, the young Reds are poised to put in a memorable performance in the final and bring the Liverpool County FA Women’s Senior Cup home.
