Derby County needed extra-time to see off Sheffield United off the North East League. The Blades stunned the Rams with a 1st-minute goal and it was 52 minutes before they equalised through Molly Johnson’s long-range strike. Sheffield soon restored their advantage. only for Ellie May to reply on 61 minutes. Camilla Newton came off the bench for County 6 minutes into the added half-hour and promptly hit the decider.
Keynsham came away from higher division C&K Basildon 3-1 winners. Keka Vega, Geovana and Justine Lorton-Radburn got the goals for the Somerset side.
Cardiff City were defeated for the first time this season in a 2-0 reverse at Lewes. Rebecca Carter broke clear to slot the ball home and Katie McIntyre then played in Leeta Rutherford for the second goal on 37 minutes.
Leicester City Women’s Kim Farrow missed a penalty at Middlesbrough before making amends with a deflected shot to go in 1-0 up at the interval. Boro then forced extra-time with a dramatic late leveller but eventually fell to a goal from a deep corner kick 2 minutes short of penalties.
Brighouse won a seven-goal thriller away at Long Eaton, where Jodie Redgrave got all their goals. But her first couple were wiped out by the halfway mark, afterwhich the Derbyshire side went in front. Redgrave replied on 65 minutes and won it 4 minutes into added time.
Gillingham had the best of the first-half chances at Spurs but fell behind on 5 minutes to a Maya Vio effort. Two minutes later and Bianca Baptiste gave the hosts some breathing space with a second goal, before scoring another late on at the second attempt.
Charlton enjoyed their afternoon at The Valley by putting five past Portsmouth. A glancing Kim Dixson header opened the scoring, while a powerful Kit Graham headed goal doubled the lead. Katie Bottom nodded in the third after the break, with Graham going on to complete her hat-trick, as the Addicks proved troublesome for Pompey with their corners and in the air.
Hull held Blackburn for virtually the whole first half until Jess Holbrook broke the deadlock in add time. Ella Toone made it 2-0 soon after the restart, with Natasha Fenton then lobing home from distance, Toone netting a free-kick and Faye McCoy’s header finishing off the scoring at 5-0.
