After a day of mixed weather conditions, Sun, Sleet, Snow it was a chilly evening for the spectators to watch this sintilating Sheffield Hallamshire Womens Challenge Cup Quarter final.

Here is the Reds, which includes Jodie Michalska who has thankfully recovered following her injury withdrawal just before half-time on Sunday. But Brett is not on the subs bench for this one. And the Sheffield side

20:04 and the Game is Underway.
7’ Good work by Michalska to progress the ball up the pitch, but she loses the ball, it falls into Ashton’s path 20 yards from goal, she shoots but it’s saved
17' A couple of very good quality chances, including a Michalska shot that struck the inside of the post and rolled back out, and a goal-mouth chance which Barnsley squander
20' Michalska aggressively presses the goalkeeper, she makes a block but it edges ever so close past the post for a goal kick, you could feel the crowd collectively hold their breath
22' Pierrepont wins a corner with a trademark dribble, dazzling the Sheffield FC defenders
31’ GOAL!!! Shaw opens the scoring with a volley’d effort from outside the box Keeper should have done better. 0-1
39’ GOAL!! We’ve got another, Ashton’s shot, Michalska chases in on the goal-mouth to make sure, guess which of the 2 girls scored. On closer examination it was Shaw? 0-2
41’ Liquid football from Barnsley, interchanging passes in the final third, Shaw is laid off and shoots from the edge of the box, the goalkeeper saves

Half-Time : Outstanding first half performance by each and every Barnsley player, now about retaining the advantage

SUB: Jex-Oldfield makes way for Watson
21:04 second half is underway
54’ Barnsley carrying their first half momentum into the second, Pierrepont a ball for Michalska behind, but the ball is hit with slightly too much venom
57’ Another good combination between Pierrepont and Michalska, the former with a pass across goal, the latter’s shot ends in the side netting, goal kick
60’ SUB: Ashton makes way for Millar for Barnsley’s second substitution
64’ Watson receives a pass from Csomor following a great dribble from Shaw, Watson’s shot is struck with plenty of power, but aimed just over the goal
This match is proving to be great advertisement for Womens football, high technical level, crunching tackles, and great work ethic from both sides, The weather unfortunately is not so generous as the snow starts again.
81’ SUB: Brace scorer Nat Shaw makes way as Rebekah Coe is brought on
