This however, still proved enough to advance to the quarter finals of the plate.
Abi Heaton scored the only goal in the group stage.
Abbeytown then faced Morecambe FC, a team four leagues above them! Kayleigh Wharton found the back of the net, to start her scoring for the day taking us to the semi-final.
Next up for the side in red and white was Blackpool FC Ladies in the semi-final.
Goals from Sadie Holliday was the difference between the two sides and a battling performance from Niamh Edmondson, Abbie Woodburn also contributed massively to the win.
Onto the final, the reds went in as underdogs against Altricham! A team again four divisions above.
In the opening few minutes Kayleigh Wharton put Abbeytown in front after a flick on from Abi Heaton.
A POTM performance from Amy Carr helped keep Altricham out.
