Aldershot Town Ladies will be hoping to make the semi-finals of the Hampshire Cup this Sunday afternoon, but must first overcome a potential banana-skin in the form of their lower league opposition.
Having gained success in the Hampshire League in recent seasons, Portsmouth were promoted to the Southern Region Women's League Division One - one below The Shots, at the start of the season and are more than holding their own - currently sitting in third position, just five points behind the leaders but with two games in hand.
Speaking to The Shots ahead of the match, striker Laura Wallman [pictured] who is in the second year of a Sports Science degree at the University said: "It should be a very good game and the fact that I study at the Uni makes it that extra bit special to me and I'm really looking forwards to it.
"Because I already played for The Shots when I started [at the University], I opted to play Basketball when I'm there, but I'm fairly sure that I will know a couple of their players because the sports teams interact quite a bit during term time.
"I believe that they are a good team and they will be a tough test for us, especially as we still haven't been able to play a fixture since early November due to the weather conditions.
"It would be great for the team to potentially go through to the Semi-Finals of the Hampshire Cup and on a personal level, to have the bragging rights over my own university!"
