2014–15 FA Women's Premier League Plate

FA Women's Premier League Plate WPL Plate 2014–15 England 33 Preston North End Huddersfield Town 29 124 2015–16 The 2014–15 FA Women's Premier League Plate was the inaugural season of the Premier League Plate, which was introduced as a secondary League Cup competition of the FA Women's Premier League (FA WPL). Preston North End became the first ever winners of the Plate, beating Huddersfield Town 3–0 in the final at Guiseley's Nethermoor Park to win their first major trophy. The teams that took part in the WPL plate were decided after the first qualifying round of the WPL Cup, known as the Determining Round. The winners of Determining Round matches continued in the WPL Cup, while the losers moved into the WPL Plate. Background Due to a restructuring of elite-level women's football in England in 2014, the WPL had doubled in size from three divisions to six. With this in mind the league opted to introduce a new cup competition to run alongside their existing League Cup competition, the Premier League Cup, to cater for the increased number of teams.http://www.thefa.com/wpl/about-the-fa-wpl https://archive.today/20151129104659/http://www.thefa.com/wpl/about-the-fa-wpl dead 29 November 2015 About the FA WPL The Football Association 22 February 2016 Seventy teams were entered into the Determining Round of the FA WPL Cup, with the 35 match losers being eligible for the Plate, but two teams (Keynsham Town development and Norwich City) withdrew from the competition, meaning only 33 teams took part.http://www.shekicks.net/news/view/10485 Premier League Cup Round-Up 31 August 2014 She Kicks 6 June 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20160531104923/http://www.shekicks.net/news/view/10485 2016-05-31 dead Results All results shown here were published by The Football Association.http://full-time.thefa.com/ProcessPublicSelect.do?psSelectedSeason=95852224&psSelectedDivision=0&psSelectedCompetition=691247014&psSelectedLeague=872938 FA WPL Plate Full Time The Football Association 22 February 2016 Games are listed firstly in chronological order, and then by alphabetical order of the home team.
