Fulham Ladies and Doncaster Belles will play in the most prestigious
event in the ladies season as they compete for the F.A. Cup at Crystal Palace's
Selhurst Park.
Doncaster have been established since 1969 and they have a rich FA Cup
tradition, having won the competition six times and been runners-up five
times.

A win on Monday will equal Southampton's record of seven.
Fulham have had a fantastic season scoring 327 goals in all competitions.
The first professional side in Europe, they have just gained promotion
to the National League.
Fulham lost 1-0 to Arsenal last year and are desperate to gain their
first FA Cup.
Fulham Manager Gaute Haugenes said: "We are very, very happy with
the way things are right now and the way the season has gone so far, but
the FA Cup is the big event of the year for us."
Doncaster had to settle for runners-up as Arsenal secured the championship
last week, so they will be sure to give all to win some silverware this
season.
Last year's match had 14,000 in the crowd and it is hoped that an equally
big crowd will turn up on Monday.
