THEY may be considered the underdogs but Brighouse Town forward Jodie Redgrave is confident her side can upset the odds when they take on holders Bradford City in the West Riding County FA Women's Cup final.

The two teams clash at West Riding headquarters tomorrow, with City hoping to lift the County Cup for a fourth successive season.

Former Bantams player Redgrave was a part of that success previously but swapped the Northern Division One side for Brighouse last season.

Yet while her new team may ply their trade a league lower, Redgrave believes that is no reason to feel overawed.

She said: "We're looking to get a win there if possible and we'll give it everything. I think it will be a feisty match, to be honest. They're a strong, physical side – they're not small in stature.

"We've just got to give it our all. Obviously we're the underdogs but we're going to give it our best shot. They are my old team too, so that adds something.

"We've done all right this season. We've finished sixth in the table now. Considering we had a bad start, we've picked it up in the second half."

The campaign also saw Brighouse Town enjoy a record-breaking run to the third round of the SSE Women's FA Cup, where they eventually lost to 2010 winners Everton.

They scored 15 goals on that run, which started with a 2-1 win over Stockport County back in October and a thrilling 4-3 victory over Long Eaton in the second round.

All four of those goals in the latter game came via Redgrave, a performance which saw her named as the SSE Women's FA Cup player of the second round and subsequently receive tickets to watch last Saturday's final at Wembley between Birmingham and Manchester City.

The latter – and Redgrave's local team – triumphed 4-1 in front of a record crowd of 35,271, with the forward delighted to see the progress being made in the women's game.

"The FA Cup final is very important for women's football, especially for the youngsters – they've actually got a platform to strive for now," she said.

"When we were younger we were setting the platform for them and now they've got regional talent clubs to go through, they've got the elite programme to go through. It's really encouraging and to be part of it is just great.

"I was buzzing to be at Wembley having been awarded the player of the second round and getting tickets. My own football is getting in the way of watching Man City, my local club – but someone has got to score the goals."
