Your votes and your comments from the SSE Women’s FA Cup Final 2015…
We really enjoyed getting your feedback on players that impressed you and your thoughts on games during the Women’s World Cup, so we got together with @teamsnap again to bring you the cup final #SKFANCARD.
A fellow forward won the official Player of the Match champers on the day but you fans watching in the stadium and on TV gave most votes/points to a the following top performer:
Your @teamsnap #SKFANCARD Women’s Cup Final Player of the Match was: Gemma Davison
Yes, collectively, you good people decided that the right-sided menace, who gave Alex Greenwood a headache (particularly in the first half) and who ran and attacked tirelessly throughout the full 90 minutes, was your pick of the players on the day. Davison (yes, we have whipped and beaten the SK monkey who typed in ‘Davidson’ into the fancard team list!) received 32% of the votes/points, while left-sided defensive rock Claire Rafferty received 23% of the votes for her so-solid display. Eni Aluko, the other thorn in Notts County’s side, constantly threatening down the left and carving out opportunities for her teamies, was third (with 17%).
Top of the Lady Pies was Desiree Scott (7%) for her battling play in front of the back four, while Jess Clarke (5%) received recognition for her strong-running, counter-attacking efforts.
We don’t just ask you to vote, we also ask for your comments on the game and as ever, you didn’t disappoint (including the one that tickled me: ‘I hate Chelsea’ – don’t hold back, folks!). The consensus was that it was the best of games but that the right team won and overall, that it was a great occasion. fitting of the venue and the place in history that it will take.

– Disappointing game. County seemed overawed by occasion. Chelsea worthy winners but average game.
– Chelsea where deserved winners
– Chelsea bossed it. Notts county were trying to press high but not together
– Has to be Davison, although I think Rafferty was an unsung heroine as very little got past her.
– crowd was hype, I feel that Notts deserved a goal with triangular passes, linkup not there though 🙁

– Poor game overall
– on the day best team won. Notts were poor
