- I am going down and it wouldn't it be wonderful to see a big crowd to cheer our women's team to FA Cup victory.
 
Top match, real cup tie, had it all. Great first half strike from Middlesbrough Women no 11 Dawson, lashing home a rebound from the Bradford keeper. Middlesbrough had chances to double the lead either side of the half time break. Then again the visitors were never out of the contest. So there were plenty of nerves before the equaliser shattered everyone's Sunday calm.
Manager Andy Campbell drew his players together and told them in no uncertain terms to get back following the plan. Credit Middlesbrough, rather than buckling, the young strikeforce including Anthony Ormerod's daughter, took the fight back to Bradford.
Just like the Boro on Saturday, the winner arrived at the very end. The winner was forced home from a corner to the delight of players and supporters alike.
Middlesbrough now go into the 2nd Round draw hoping for a home tie and a pass through to the later stages and top flight opponents.
Chairman Ben Fisher runs a really professional set up here. The team is Teesside based, many are talented teenagers, some actually on England star Beth Mead's scholarship at Tees Uni.
The club has several sponsors and attracts crowds in the hundreds to the new facilities at Stockton Town's ground. There is the definite feeling something is taking off here. Well worth getting behind.
