SAINTS Women will travel to arch rivals Portsmouth in an eagerly-anticipated Women’s FA Cup third-round tie later this month.

The two sides were pulled out of the hat together during Monday’s draw.

The clash is set to take place at Westleigh Park on Sunday, December 12.

The draw will set up two south coast derby matches on the spin between the sides, with their first league fixture of the season following on Wednesday, December 15.

Saints, who reached the last 16 of the FA Cup last season, earned their progress to the third round with a 7-0 success against Ilminster Town on Sunday.

Portsmouth progressed with a narrow 2-1 win over AFC Bournemouth.

Pompey beat Saints on penalties in the Hampshire Cup final back in May, in what was the delayed 2019-20 finale of the competition.
