The two opposing teams will converge at the New Bucks Head once again for the second Black Country derby of the year, fiercely contending for a spot in the finals against Rugby Borough.

The Challenge Cup belongs to the Wolves team. They have won the tournament for two consecutive seasons. Their most recent victory was in 2022/23 when they defeated Stourbridge 3-0 in the final game held at Molineux.

The Old Gold team emerged victorious over Sutton Coldfield Town and Boldmere St Michaels, securing themselves a spot in the semi-finals where they will face off against their local rivals.

Dan McNamara's team are set to play a match soon. They played against a strong team called Brighton & Hove Albion in the fifth round of the FA Cup last weekend. Although they played well, unfortunately, they lost after Brighton & Hove Albion scored three goals near the end of the game.

On the other hand, the Baggies couldn't continue their winning momentum after defeating Derby County 2-1 at the beginning of the month as they lost against Halifax in the league last Sunday. Despite being only four points behind in the league, West Brom has played three more matches compared to their opponents.

Wolves and West Brom faced each other in a past game. McNamara's squad was able to secure a victory of 3-1 in the league. This win marked the eighth consecutive success for the Old Gold in the Black Country derby.

The arena, called the New Bucks Head, is located in Telford.

The statements from the manager were disclosed.

We have been performing exceptionally well in this competition for the past few years and we are determined to maintain that level of success.

"We are aware that the Rugby Borough team is waiting for us and this will be a great challenge because they are performing exceptionally well in the south."

As it's a derby match in the Black Country, I don't think I need to say much. Even though it's a semi-final, the importance of this game speaks for itself.

Albion has been enjoying a positive change in their recent results. The previous weekend's outcome was unsatisfactory, but luckily, the team performed excellently in their match against Derby at home a week earlier.

The team has recruited some impressive individuals, namely Jess Reavill and the well-known Lucy Newell. It appears that these two players will work together harmoniously to create a dependable defensive partnership.

In my opinion, this upcoming game will be the most challenging one in recent years. The team not only has the goal of reaching the cup final, but they're also actively enhancing their lineup. Siobhan Hodgetts-Still, also known as "Shev," has been doing an impressive job managing the team with the limited resources available. As a result, they're developing a strong roster.

I anticipate a very challenging match and believe that the result will be decided by very small differences. I hope that our team can end up on the winning side of these tiny differences, just like we saw in last week's game.
