Harworth play two levels below the Owls and could take enormous pride from a last gasp 3-2 preliminary round defeat at SHU Sports Park on Sunday.

Wednesday had led 2-0 after an hour but goals from Georgia Walker-Ellis and Dani Thompson got Harworth on level terms.

The visitors then pressed strongly for a winner – only to succumb to a late Jess Morrison goal at the other end.

Harworth play in tier seven of the women’s game, Division One of the Sheffield & Hallamshire Women’s League.

Sheffield Wednesday are in tier five, the North East Regional Women’s League.
