Charlton v Lewes is a 2PM KO, on Sunday January 22nd at The Oakwood. 

THE OPPOSITION

Scott Booth’s side head into Sunday’s proceedings in impressive fashion having recently beaten Southampton 1-0 at St Mary’s last Sunday. The Rooks were also in action on Wednesday, just missing out on a Continental Cup quarter-final place after a narrow 1-0 home defeat to Bristol City.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

The last time these two sides locked horns was at The Dripping Pan back in October 2022 when goals from Paula Howells and Ellie Hack were enough to cancel out Kiera Skeels’ first half header and secure a 2-1 win.

Charlton edged out Lewes during their last league meeting at The Oakwood when a first half goal from Elise Hughes sealed a 1-0 victory in January 2022.
