Blackburn Rovers Ladies have been drawn away to Preston North End in the semi-finals of the Lancashire Cup on January 18.

Rovers booked their place in the final four thanks to a thumping 4-1 victory over Manchester City in the last round, whilst Preston ran out 5-1 winners away to Wigan.

Adam Lakeland’s side, who are looking to lift the county crown for the sixth year in succession, defeated Preston at this stage of the competition last season.

“It will be a tough game, because there is a massive rivalry between the two teams,” said Lakeland.
