“They thoroughly deserved to only go into half-time only 1-0 down. I really don't want to take anything away from Acle but we were really didn't perform well today, especially in the first half, but the girls knew that and came out for the second half much stronger.
“It is fantastic for us to reach another cup final and to face our Suffolk rivals Ipswich for the third time this season, I know the girls will be determined than ever to keep hold of the cup and once again bring it back to Norfolk.”
