Steel City Wanderers 2-3 Sheffield United
Steel City Wanderers, ninth in FAWPL Midlands Division 1, bowed out of the Sheffield & Hallamshire Cup at home to East Midlands League title-chasing Sheffield United.
Kim Brown scored via a 16th-minute free kick for the Blades, with Zoe Beresford swiftly levelling but Tania Marsden sending the Regional League side in 2-1 up at the interval with an injury-time goal.
Beresford netted a second against her former club 2 minutes after the restart, only for Cara Hopkinson to slide Lucy Darbyshire in to hit the decider on 56 minutes.
Sheffield Wednesday are also into the last four after they sent Harworth Colliery to a 7-2 defeat. They will be joined in the hat by either Rovers Foundation or Huddersfield Town, plus Barnsley or the winners of the 3rd Round tie between Millmoor and Beighton Magpies.

Eastleigh 4-2 Shanklin
Eastleigh managed to span three division to eliminate FAWPL South West basement side Shanklin in the Hampshire Cup quarter-finals.
Paige Seeley bagged a brace, with Katy Rawlinson replying for the Isle of Wight team by the break.
Sam Hide restored the two-goal cushion and although Marika Bebere got a second for the visitors, Hollie Agombar sealed the victory with a volley from Carys Thornton’s cross.
Eastleigh will now visit with winners of the tie between Southampton Women and Team Solent on 19th February, when Portsmouth – 5-2 winners over Basingstoke Town – host either Southampton Saints or Winchester City Flyers.
