The 1971 WFA Cup Final was the first final of the WFA Cup, England's primary cup competition for women's football teams. [3] The showpiece event was played under the auspices of the Women's Football Association (WFA). Southampton and Stewarton Thistle contested the match at Crystal Palace National Sports Centre in London on 9 May 1971. Southampton won the match 4–1. There was some controversy surrounding the match however. Accusations were made that Southampton were essentially a team of players taken from several different clubs in the Hampshire League and were misrepresenting themselves. Southampton were fined £25 by the FA but allowed to keep the trophy. [4] [5] [6] [7]
