As top-flight FA Women's Premier League clubs, both Charlton Athletic and Everton entered the competition at the fourth round stage. Charlton Athletic beat Wolverhampton Wanderers, West Ham United, Sunderland and Bristol Rovers to reach the final. Everton faced Bristol City, Leafield Athletic, Chelsea and Arsenal before reaching the final.[citation needed]
Charlton Athletic won the game 1–0, with a 58th-minute goal by Eniola Aluko.[1][2][3][4]
The match programme cover was designed by 15-year-old Gillian Prescott, whose illustration won a competition in the Sunday Express newspaper. From a family of noted women's football supporters in the North West, Sheila Parker was her godmother. Prescott, who had cerebral palsy, died in January 2010.[5]
