4-1 winners over Socrates. Staveley, with a 100% league record, are arguably too strong for
their division, while Socrates moved up in the summer. Carly Rowlands bagged a hat-trick to
take her on to 42 for the season and the half century is very much within her grasp. Sammy
Stokes was Staveley’s other scorer, while Amber Wilson was on target for Socrates. The other
Division One team in the last 16 also bowed out, Victoria Egege and Sophie Eyre were the
Sheffield Utd Community Development scorers in their 2-0 win at Rotherham Utd
Whitehill. Last season’s Shield runners-up Charnock Ridgeway were 3-0 winners over
Eckington Belles thanks to goals from Aaliyah Boreland, Kerry Clifford and Georgia Skitt.
Hannah Barden and Stacey Leigh netted for Kiveton Park Res who lost 5-2 at Penistone
Church. Goals from Brooke Chappell, Charlotte Marshall and Ellen Smith saw
Swallownest advance via a 3-1 win at Wickersley Youth, Ellen Key the home scorer.
Danielle Burrows gave Dearne & District the lead away to Mosborough who levelled
through Sadie Smith before the interval, while Shannon Marriott netted in the second half to
see the hosts progress. Yasmin Bird, Lydia Rae and Amelia Symons were the Mexborough
Athletic scorers in their 3-2 win at Mind Over Matter, Chloe Flude and Elizabeth Smith
with the home goals.
