This fixture presented a huge opportunity for Sheffield Wednesday Ladies to gain an important three points, as opponents Kiveton Park sat 11th in the table on three points.

Moving onto the line-ups, coaches Gary Wilson and Andy Gilligan started once again with Kirsty Tonner in net. In front of the Wednesday shot-stopper was Maisie Gilligan at right back, Beth Ayrton at centre half joined by Imogen Yeardley and rounding up the back line was Eleanor Vessey.

In the middle of the park was Maisie Brennan, Harriet Lloyd and Molly Crossland.

In attack, Wednesday ladies started with Nicole Shaw, Heidi O’Reilly and Rachel Norsworthy.

Despite a strong start from Wednesday, a hopeful ball from Kiveton Park found their striker who tucked it into the net.

Kiveton won a set piece on the right side of the box and whipped it across goal before tapping it in for a second.

Frustratingly, another strong spell of possession from Wednesday couldn’t produce a goal, Kiveton Park then found the ball wide before firing a curled effort round Tonner and into the net.

Wednesday nearly scored following a save from the Kiveton Park keeper however the chance went just wide. Following the chance, the ref blew for half-time.

Wednesday started the second 45 fast and hit a shot from the edge of the box following a fumbled save by Kiveton, however Norsworthy was able to follow it in to get the Owlesses’ first of the game

After mounting pressure from Wednesday, a low through ball found Shaw, who calmly placed it round the keeper to make it 3-2.

Wednesday continued to pile on the pressure into the final few minutes.

In the dying moments of the game O’Reilly finally found the equaliser with a world beating shot from outside the box into the top corner, notching her first of the 2024/25 NERWFL campaign, and that was the final action of the 90.

Next up, Wednesday Ladies will play Ossett United FC.
