Harworth Colliery are on the brink of finishing Division One champions following their biggest
win of the season, 5-1 away to Rotherham Utd Whitehill. Sophie Thompson (2), Abbie France,

if the other title contenders drop points before their own final game of the season against AFC

Rotherham’s consolation goal. Connie Dyson scored for Sheffield Utd Community
