Sheffield & Hallamshire League
The third and final round of group fixtures before the competition splits into straight knock out
(League Cup for the main Cup competition and also Shield) were held last weekend.
Sheffield Wednesday Res finished top of Group One with seven points following a 2-2
draw against Handsworth. Jess Broadhurst, with four, and Abi Shepherd (2) were on target for
Rotherham Utd Whitehill who claimed second spot, a point behind, thanks to a 6-2 win over
Worsbrough Bridge Athletic. Rotherham made a strong start and the points were virtually
assured by the time Jo Marfleet netted the first of Worsbrough’s goals (to make it 4-1). Lucy Tindle
scored Worsbrough’s second.
SJR Worksop Development won all three of their Group Two games, Beth Gingell
netting both in a 2-1 win at Sheffield Utd Community Foundation to take her tally in the
games to 10. Tia Needham replied for United. The group’s other game ended with six goals being
shared. Valentina Basso (2) and Helen Kean were on the mark for Socrates, who finish second,
with Jess Barrow, Keeley Green and Caitlin Sammon scoring for visitors Penistone Church who
claimed their first point.
Handsworth Development made it three high scoring wins in Group Three with Mae
Spencer (2), Emma Thackeray (2) and Liv Winstanley on target without reply away to Dronfield
Town Development. Sheffield Wednesday Development recorded the group’s biggest win
overall thanks to a Molly Wilde hat-trick, Hannah Jackson (2), Kayha Williams (2), Millie Bethel
and Raqia Essa, winning 9-0 at Eckington Belles to finish second.
Mosborough dropped their first points when drawing 2-2 with Kiveton Park, for
whom Sarah Bunting and Zoe Parker were on the scoresheet, but still finished top of Group Four.
Oughtibridge Res finished second following a 2-0 victory over Bolsover Town.
Dani Walker scored all three in a 3-1 win over Sheffield Utd Community Foundation
Res for Wakefield Trinity Development who topped Group Five with a 100% record.
Wickersley Youth claimed second spot with Beth Forshaw, Ellen Key and Lori-Anne Tart on
target in a 3-2 success at Swallownest Swallows whose goals came from Lacie Dodsworth and
Tasha Lindley.
Not surprisingly, AFC Bentley won all three of their Group Six games in high scoring
fashion. Gemma Harte netted five times to take her tally for the trio of matches to 14, whilst Abbie
Walker (2), Sam Pidgeon, Jodie Shakespeare and an own goal completed a 10-1 victory at Dearne
& District whose consolation came from Chloe Hardy. Mexborough Athletic finished second,
also recording a 10-1 away win thanks to an Amy Booth hat-trick, Laura Ferguson (2), Tasha Bell,
Lauren Camm, Louise Harris, Megan Jones and Lauren Kerry at newcomers Millstone for whom
Jodean Wadsworth netted the consolation.
Barnsley FC Ladies were 100% in Group Seven. Ruby Jex-Oldfield netted four times
whilst Chloe Brammer and Kate Davies hit hat-tricks along with Sadie Hooper (2), Amy Lassu (2),
Amy Lyons, Steph Rigby and Carla Whitehead were on target away to the luckless Kiveton Park
Development who found themselves in a group with three much stronger opponents. Dronfield
Town finished second, Annabel Davies bagging a hat-trick with Becky Hill (2) and Ruby Burns
their other scorers in a 6-1 victory over Staveley Miners Welfare whose reply came from Carly
Rowlands.
Somerset League
Stockwood Wanderers are on the verge of the Division Two title after they ran out 7-1 winners
away to Pen Mill Res. Ashley Taylor and Melissa Wilkinson each scored twice and they were
joined on the scoresheet by Daisy Pearce-Lyons, Emily Stephens and Makenzie Wotton.
Stockwood would make sure of winning the division with a victory in their final game, away to
Wellington who kept their hopes of a top two finish alive by beating Porlock 7-3. Leah Morrell
hit a hat-trick for Wellington whose other goals came from Marie Barrow, Jess Regan, Amy
Sharkey and Lauren Smith whilst Kaylyn Porter scored a hat-trick in reply.
The race is over in Division Three as Wells City clinched the title with a 5-0 victory away
to Weston Mendip Res, their seventh straight win of the season. Burnham Utd meanwhile
replaced Mendip in second place by winning 3-0 at Cheddar, thanks to a Lucy Stacey double and
Mollie Croker.
