Second-placed Belles must win their remaining four games and hope for the best.

They travel to Peterborough United on Sunday.

Andy Butler’s side lost 1-0 to Huddersfield Town, who play one level higher, in the Sheffield & Hallamshire County Cup quarter-finals last weekend.

Belles lost 12-0 to the Terriers in the same competition two years ago which is a mark of the progress made under Butler.
