Bradford City travel to leaders Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday desperately needing a win to maintain their own FA Women’s Combination title challenge.

Nearly 20 years ago the two sides met in similar circumstances in the race for the Premier League’s Northern Division title.

On that occasion a penalty save by Jo Tennison, resulting in a broken arm, earned City victory over the Owls.

Current goalkeeper Melanie Garside-Wight, a striker that day, will be hoping she is not called on to perform the same heroics.

But she was again on form in City’s last game at Middlesbrough as a hat-trick from Caroline Omboyi secured a 3-1 win to lift her side into third place, just four points behind Wednesday with a game in hand.

Huddersfield Town, having lost ground after a 6-3 defeat at Liverpool Feds, now travel to a Durham side who suffered their own shock setback when they crashed 7-3 at struggling Wakefield, who host Liverpool Feds this weekend.

Guiseley’s 2-1 win at Whitley Bay eased their relegation worries in the North East Regional League Premier Division.

But in Division One (South) the City A team slipped to second bottom after a 5-0 home defeat to Rothwell that lifted the Leeds side into second spot.

Ellie Dove, Claire Popplewell, Lauren Nicholls, Emma Speer, direct from a corner, and Amy Hoang were the Rothwell scorers.

Kirklees kept up their challenge with a 5-1 win at home to Wetherby.

Harrogate Railway lead the way in the West Riding League Premier Division after a 7-1 win over Leeds Medics and Dentists made it six wins from six.

Bradford Park Avenue will be looking to improve on their four points from four games when they visit the Medics on Sunday.
