Charlton have been drawn away to Doncaster Belles in the quarter-finals of the FA Women’s Cup.

The National Division leaders are now favourites for the cup having beaten holders Fulham – a repeat of last season’s final – in the fifth round.

Substitute Carmaine Walker and captain Casey Stoney grabbed the goals for Charlton and they held on to win despite Rachel Yankey pulling one back late on.

Doncaster, meanwhile, thrashed Wolves 4-0.

Arsenal, winners in 2001, romped to a 6-1 win at Middlesbrough despite having Faye White sent off and now face giantkillers Cardiff who recorded a 2-1 home win over Everton.

Jayne Ludlow, Jo Potter and braces from Lianne Sanderson and new signing Julie Fleeting did the damage, with Louise Ford replying from the penalty spot.

Nottingham Forest, the only other side from outside the Nationwide Premier League to reach the sixth round following their penalty shoot-out win at Chelsea, face Bristol Rovers, who thrashed Reading Royals 9-1.

The remaining quarter-final tie will be an all-National Division affair with Tranmere taking on Birmingham.

All ties will be played on Sunday February 8.

Sixth-round draw in full: Doncaster Rovers Belles v Charlton Athletic, Tranmere Rovers v Birmingham City, Nottingham Forest v Bristol Rovers, Arsenal v Cardiff City.
