CREWE Alex Ladies are through to the next round of the Vitality Women's FA Cup after a morale-boosting win over Sunderland.
While their male counterparts suffered a chastening defeat at the hands of the Black Cats (0-4) last week the ladies enjoyed success at the Cumberland Arena on Sunday afternoon.
In a closely-contested match Cerys Griffin scored the winner with a 25-yard volley in the first half.
It proved to be an exciting and competitive game played in showery conditions.
Crewe goalkeeper Hannah Holloway showed a safe pair of hands and was awarded the man-of-the-match.
The Alex now host West Brom in the first round proper of the competition on November 14.
