council secures funding Sheffield City Council, working collaboratively with regional partners, has successfully secured £763,000 from the government for development of innovation-led opportunities connected to the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District (AMID).

Awarded through the Government’s New Development Corporation Competition, the money will be used to unlock and accelerate transformational economic development activity across the AMID, which spans both Sheffield and Rotherham. It

will also go towards improving connections to our communities, businesses and education providers. The AMID is home to the UK’s largest research-led advanced manufacturing cluster. It also boasts developing centres of innovation in health and wellbeing as well as vital energy research focussed on net-zero carbon processes. There are also proposals for further world-leading research in areas such as gene therapy, modern methods of construction and future mobility. With more than 30 nationally recognised

research and development facilities, backed by Sheffield’s two outstanding universities, the AMID’s applied research capabilities are unrivalled and continue to attract world leading businesses such as McLaren, RollsRoyce and Boeing. It also supports new and established businesses across South Yorkshire to adapt positively to new challenges and changing economic conditions. The AMID already hosts over 120 advanced manufacturing and tech firms which employ more than 2,300 people. Ambitious plans

being developed aim to generate 4,000 new jobs and 2,000 additional apprenticeships. Improving access to the emerging economic opportunities will also involve placebased regeneration including improving local amenities, building public spaces and creating over 8,000 new homes within the AMID and its surrounding communities by 2040 - creating sustainable neighbourhoods for the next generation. Sheffield City Council has worked closely with Sheffield City Region, The University of Sheffield, Sheffield Hallam

University, Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council and the Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park to secure the crucial funding.

Councillor Terry Fox, Leader of Sheffield City Council, said: “We are delighted to have secured funding for the development of the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District which will put Sheffield first and create many opportunities for businesses and the people of Sheffield, and our wider region. I am ambitious for Sheffield and the potential that we have, and I can’t wait for more people to see just how fantastic our city is and the exciting prospects ahead.”

raise your game for dementia gaming aficionados will have

Dementia UK’s fundraising event Raise Your Game is back again for more rolls of the dice, whilst aiming for a record number of fundraisers for more lifechanging support from dementia specialist Admiral Nurses. The event last year saw family-filled days of boardgame high jinks as well as wind downs with colleagues at the card table. The charity hopes to bring on board 1,200 fundraisers who are game this year. Raise Your Game will be running from October, but participants can host an event whenever they like.

Admiral Nurses are here when people need help. They have the time to listen and the knowledge to solve problems, and are a lifeline for families facing dementia. During a year of lockdown,

perfected their poker faces and will be looking to prove their mettle in the charity’s fundraiser. There are a number of events which families and people can get involved with – one of Dementia UK’s fundraisers last year took part in a 24-hour board game marathon, with another winner’s streak of enthusiasm and friendly competition expected amongst fundraisers for this year. Someone who took part in the event last year was Michal Madras from Coventry. Michal said of the event: ‘I love board games. I have played them my entire life. I passed that hobby to my daughter and we now play them together.

Apart from the obvious fun factor, they can teach you loads of stuff.

Raise your Game is a fantastic event supporting a great charity by

taking part in an activity that you love. And it’s as simple as that.’

Chief Admiral Nurse and CEO of Dementia UK Hilda Hayo said, “People with dementia can sometimes have difficulty concentrating on things they used to enjoy, such as reading or watching TV. Board games, especially ones they used to play, are a great way to help them have fun and communicate with people around them. I’m delighted to see so many game-changers taking part in our second ever Raise your Game event. Every dice thrown, counter placed and card played is helping to ensure our Admiral Nurses can reach more people facing challenging times.”

To find out more about taking part in Raise Your Game for Dementia UK, get in touch by emailing raiseyourgame@dementiauk. org or calling 020 8036 5475.

WE’RE OFF TO SEE A PANTO...

After amazing previous productions of Elf, Cinderella and Peter Pan, WIZARD OF OZ is the brand-new spectacular Christmas show set to lift the art of arena panto right over the rainbow and it arrives at the Utilita Arena in Sheffield on Friday 10th December.

It will be performed on the world’s biggest panto stage, (the equivalent of four London Palladiums), plus two mobile stages that travel around the arena as the yellow brick road unfolds in front of a 6,000 seat audience. Producer Jon Conway points out this is only half the normal arena capacity and with its vast foyers and high arena auditorium, he is confident

it will be one of the safest covid aware performance spaces this Xmas.

‘Country File’ and ‘One Show’ star Matt Baker plays the Wizard.

Matt says; “This Christmas I’m swapping the green fields of Our Farm in the Dales for the Emerald City!

I’ll be an acrobatic, laser wielding wizard and I might even bring the Children in Need Rickshaw along for the ride. It’s a show packed with spectacular entertainment and fun with a brilliant script and cast to boot. I can’t wait for my festive tour on the yellow brick road!”

Jenny Ryan is best known as ‘The Vixen’ on ITV’s hit show ‘The Chase’ but is also known for her fabulous

voice on ‘Celebrity X Factor’.

Jenny says ; “The spectacular size of the show is breathtaking. There are giant video screens with animated computer graphic backgrounds and an ice-covered Emerald city skating scene that is magical. With a ten-metre tall roof there is plenty of flying, with cirque stars as the crows and the witch actually flies on a broomstick around the arena. What’s also fun is that I am known as one of telly’s top TV quizzers, yet I have to contend with a man with no brains at all.”

This refers to the Scarecrow played by the new comedy star Jordan Conway.

Astonishingly, given the

pandemic, Jordan has worked non-stop every week since May, headlining his own show at Butlins, Blackpool’s Viva cabaret

and theatre tours. Jordan is the only cast member to have appeared in all four World’s Biggest Panto arena shows.

Jordan says ; “I can’t wait to get started, nothing beats the sound of thousands of family members all

laughing together.”

Wizard Of Oz The Arena Spectacular will visit 8 city arenas across the UK visiting Utilita Arena Sheffield on Friday 10 December 2021 with tickets on sale Friday 1 October 2021 9am from www. utilitaarenasheffield.co.uk.

sheffield celebrates summer in the city why not have a clearThe past few months have been a whirlwind with around 20,000 people visiting over the of activity across the city, as Sheffield has out for charity? weekend. Despite ongoing challenges of Covid celebrated Summer in the Outdoor City following the easing of Covid restrictions.

People have taken the opportunity to make the most of the sunshine and enjoy the fantastic food, nightlife, and outdoor spaces our city has to offer – all with the quirky and vibrant twists Sheffield is famous for. More than 1.65million people flocked to the city centre throughout August – with more than 50,000 on the busiest day, 28 August alone - keen for a change of scene at some of the fantastic events that have been taking place throughout the Summer: from artisan markets on Division Street and al fresco dining to the major festival weekend of Tramlines. As the city looks ahead to Autumn, the next few weeks are packed with events to get involved in. Last weekend saw the city centre come alive with the Amazon Prime Video premiere for Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, which was filmed in Sheffield, and the Sheffield Harvest Fayre in the Peace Gardens.

The Waterfront Festival at Victoria Quays and Attercliffe, and the first Pollen Market were packed out - both of which were part of Castlegate Festival, celebrating this historic quarter of the city.

Still to come there’s The Run for All Asda Foundation Sheffield Half Marathon and 10k, Off The Shelf literary festival, plus No Bounds Festival and the Creative Guild makers’ market to name a few. Many of the events taking place in Sheffield this summer have been funded by the council’s Economic Recovery Fund, aimed at supporting businesses to bounce back from the challenges of the pandemic. The funding has created the opportunity for creative, new initiatives to thrive, such as the Division Street Hedgerow and Pollen markets, live Music Trails across the city centre and an extended Bears of Sheffield exhibition.

Loz Barker, of Peddler Market and organiser of the Pollen Market, said: “As a team, we were (and still are!) amazed by the incredible reception the first Pollen Market received.

Seeing thousands of people descend on a once forgotten part of the city, and speak so highly about the positive changes that Grey to Green has brought to Castlegate confirmed we have chosen to perfect spot for our monthly market.

What better place to celebrate the great array of local plant, flower and produce traders than in one of the UK’s greenest cities! We’re incredibly proud to call Sheffield our home, and we’re prouder still that we get to be a part of its evolution into one of the country’s most exciting and welcoming cities.”

Bob Worm, of Events Collective Ltd, organiser of Sheffield Harvest Fayre, said: “The first ever Sheffield Harvest Fayre was a huge success,

and Brexit related issues we achieved great results and it was fantastic to see the city centre more vibrant and engaged.”

Councillor Julie Grocutt, Deputy Leader of Sheffield City Council and Executive Member for Community Engagement said: “Summer in the Outdoor City has had a fantastic impact, bringing vibrancy back into the city after months of lockdown. It’s been a great opportunity for our independent businesses, performers and creatives to showcase their talent and skills, and I’m really pleased and proud that so many people have got involved and helped us to celebrate our city. We’re really lucky to have green spaces in every part of Sheffield and the events over the Summer have shown how we can use them to their potential and encourage everyone to enjoy spending time outdoors. As we go from summer in to autumn there’s still plenty more to come across the city, so check out the upcoming events, don’t miss out, we want to see you all there enjoying the things that make Sheffield such a great place..”

nominate your doggy hero for national award

The nationwide search begins again to find the UK’s top heroic dog to be crowned the 2022 winner of The Kennel Club Dog Hero Award, formerly known as the Friends for Life competition, celebrating a lifetime of friendship and recognising the heart-warming ways that dogs transform our lives.

At Crufts 2020, Golden Retriever Leo and his owner Lyndsey Uglow were announced as the winners of The Kennel Club’s prestigious award, presented by the competition’s ambassador, James Middleton – who credits his dogs and their emotional support for saving his life. Crowned as the UK’s top hero dog, Leo heads up a team of therapy dogs who visit Southampton Children’s Hospital to provide animal assisted intervention. Leo, Lyndsey and friends have been visiting the hospital up to five times a week for the past seven years, helping more than 10,000 often critically ill children.

The Kennel Club, the UK’s largest dog welfare organisation, is now searching for more heartwarming and inspiring stories that showcase just how much dogs do for humans throughout their lives, and is calling for the public to nominate a canine companion who deserves to be recognised for what they do, for the newly-titled Kennel Club Dog Hero Award. The winner of the Kennel Club Dog Hero Award, which is supported by the Kennel Club Charitable Trust, will be revealed at Crufts 2022 in Birmingham on Sunday 13th March, and will be awarded £5,000 for a dog charity of their choice. Runners up will receive £1,000 for their chosen dog charity.. Vanessa McAlpine, Crufts Show Manager commented: “We are very much looking forward to holding the Kennel Club Dog Hero Award competition at Crufts in 2022. We want to hear from anybody who has a heart-warming tale about how their dog has changed their life for the better, or how a canine companion has made a difference for a friend or family member.

The winner will take centre stage at Crufts 2022, an event which is dedicated to celebrating the diverse role that dogs play in society and all the ways that they enrich our lives.”

Nominations can be made by visiting crufts.org.uk/ dogheroaward. Finalists will be announced next year, ahead of the winner being crowned Crufts 2022, taking place at the NEC in Birmingham from 10th to 13th March 2022.

New polling from Scope charity shops reveals the average adult has on average 29 unworn items of clothing and footwear in their wardrobe. That’s potentially 1.5 billion items taking up valuable space throughout the UK. Tops top the list of unworn items as people have an average of seven in their wardrobes and a foot-stomping 25 per cent have more than five pairs of unworn items of Footwear. The national figures suggest women hoard more footwear, having slightly more items at 6, compared to 4.

The research comes as the disability equality charity launches its National Stock Campaign, #ShareTheScope to encourage the public to clear out their cupboards and donate their pre-loved goods and garms.

The campaign calls for people to be ruthless, route out any items that they know deep down, they’ll never wear again and give them to Scope so they can go to a new home. Scope estimates every bag of donations is worth £20, allowing the charity to continue to run their vital support services for disabled people and their families.

The national research goes on to show: • Men match women as over three quarters have unworn trousers at home • 81 per cent of 18-34 year olds have unworn footwear.

• Research suggests women hoard more footwear with 77 per cent having unworn items compared to 72 per cent of women.

British men are also cottoning on to the thrill of thrift shopping and finding a bargain as Scope research shows.

In 2021, research shows 45 per cent of men would consider or strongly consider buying their work outfit at a charity shop compared to 51 per cent of women.

Grace Mandeville, content creator, says: “I was thrilled to be asked to support Scope’s new campaign #ShareTheScope. I love charity shops and am always up for searching through one for a new piece of clothing. I’ve also been a fan of Scope for a long time, it’s a charity doing great work supporting disabled people and campaigning for equality. I’m backing Scope in their call on the nation to clear out their cupboards and donate their pre-loved items to their nearest Scope shop. I’ve also had the chance to create some GIFS for a bit of social fun, so you can use them on your donation stories too. Scope’s campaign has spurred me on to do a spot of cupboard clearing. You can see some items I’ve decided to let go after a long love affair with them. Most of us have more than a few items that are really beautiful, but we just know in our heart they won’t be worn again. So, I say if you’ve fallen out of love with any of your goods or garms, give them a new lease of life and pop them into your local Scope charity shop, where they’ll find another good home.”

Ruth Blazye, Executive Director at disability equality charity Scope says: “Charity shops rely on the amazing

Whilst you’re dropping your bags off to your local Scope shop, you could always do a spot of treasure hunting in the shop too, there’s always a hidden gem to be found.”

Scope charity shops’ ten tips to help with a cupboard clear out 1. The three-year rule. If you’ve not worn it in three years, time to donate it.

2. If it looks better on your son or daughter than it does on you, you know it’s time to let it go.

3. One hit wonder styles tend not to make a comeback (the puffball tried hard recently, but thankfully failed). It’s highly unlikely you’ll ever wear it again.

4. Will you be able to drop three sizes to fit into that item you bought in hope or without trying it on? Probably not, but it will fit someone else.

5. If donating cash to a charity is a bit of a stretch for you, your old clothes can help raise money for Scope instead.

6. Do you even like this item of clothing anymore? Be honest with yourself and part ways.

7. Have you made changes in your lifestyle or work?

Is that outfit useful anymore? If not, time to give it a new home.

8. Being sustainably-conscious will make you feel good and give you valuable space back in your wardrobe. Give your garments the chance to live on with someone else and help save the environment.

9. Don’t have your clear out when you’re in a bad mood. As the saying goes, “act in haste, repent at leisure”.

10. Finally; don’t feel bad about giving away that novelty jumper Auntie Maureen bought you for Christmas.

Instead of it languishing at the back of your wardrobe, let it go, it could make a perfect Secret Santa gift for someone.

MAJOR FUNDING FOR ARTS, CULTURE & HERITAGE SECTOR IN SOUTH YORKSHIRE The arts, culture and heritage sector in South Yorkshire is set to receive a boost with the announcement from the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) of funding worth £1m.

The Fund is part of South Yorkshire’s ARG (Additional Restrictions Grant), which has so far provided South Yorkshire businesses with over £45m of support during the pandemic.

This is the first time that the Mayoral Combined Authority has made specific funding available to the arts, culture and heritage sector in recognition of the value it has to the local economy, by creating jobs, enriching the lives of local people and reinforcing South Yorkshire’s reputation as a tourism destination.

Mayor of South Yorkshire, Dan Jarvis, said: “There is no doubt that South Yorkshire is home to a wealth of creative talent. The arts, culture and heritage sectors have been hit hard by the impact of the pandemic and investing in these areas is an essential part of their recovery and

renewal. The fund will go a long way towards creating more sustainable communities, vibrant places and enhancing our strong local identities, as well as contributing to our economic recovery.”

The £1m Funding will be managed

by South Yorkshire’s local authorities, who will distribute the fund through the commissioning of cultural events, activities or projects, with some businesses potentially eligible for micro grants.

Dan Jarvis adds: “If supported and nurtured, the Creative Industries can help drive growth and realise untapped potential. Because, in its truest sense, levelling up is about more than just the economy, it’s about improving how people feel about where they live. Culture adds colour to people’s lives and makes a place somewhere people want to live, study, work, visit and invest in.”

The funding announcement comes at a time when the spotlight is shining on South Yorkshire with the worldwide film release of the

Sheffield success story, Everybody’s Talking about Jamie. To mark and celebrate this, the authority, in partnership with the Showroom/ Workstation Sheffield and Sheffield Theatres, are hosting a Cultural and Creative Industries Summit, with Mayor Dan Jarvis opening the event.

Darren Henley, Chief Executive, Arts Council England said: “As we emerge from the pandemic the creative and cultural sector will play a vital role in our country’s recovery. Culture is essential to our economic growth, as it revives our high streets, creates local jobs and most importantly builds a sense of belonging and pride in our communities. South Yorkshire is a hub of creativity and I very much welcome the opportunity to join the discussion about how we continue to nurture and grow the creative talent of the people living and working across the Sheffield City Region.”

The fund will be available soon through the local authorities in South Yorkshire.

LIVE EVENTS AT THE PARAMOUNT

Musician turned publican James Blunt pens foreword urging consumers to support pubs

Best-selling singer James Blunt has thrown his support behind the Great British pub and reflected on the industry’s struggles during the coronavirus pandemic, in his foreword for CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide 2022, due to be released on 12 November 2021.

Following 18 months of struggles for the industry in the face of restrictions and lockdowns, Blunt, who owns the 17th-century Fox & Pheasant pub in Chelsea, remarks that as both a musician and a publican, he has “pretty much chosen the worst two jobs for a global pandemic”.

However, with his trademark optimism, he highlights the importance of pubs to communities and encourages Brits to get back to the pub to support their locals, writing: “Whilst, in recent years, there

might have been a trend for people to drink cheap supermarket beer at home, those people have been locked away for the best part of a year, and now those people want out.

They can taste real beer from the tap, and food cooked by a pro, and they can meet legally and joyfully.”

Now available for pre-order, the Good Beer Guide is considered the definitive independent guidebook to good pubs that serve real ale across the UK. The Guide, which surveys 4,500 pubs across the UK, is considered the definitive beer drinker’s guide to the very best pints in the most picturesque and friendly pubs.

Despite being hampered by national lockdowns and restrictions, thousands of independent volunteers have worked together to compile this year’s entries, helping to identify significant trends and themes locally and nationally.

Blunt’s foreword reflects on the challenges the industry has faced, including the closure of pubs and the introduction of the furlough scheme.

The ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic are still being felt across the industry, despite the lifting of most restrictions. Last year’s edition

of the Good Beer Guide warned readers of the devastating impact on Britain’s pub culture, highlighting the first decline in the number of independent UK breweries in over a decade.

Nik Antona, CAMRA National Chairman, says: “We are thrilled to have James Blunt onboard, writing the foreword for this year’s Good Beer Guide. Having saved a pub from demolition and running the business, he can appreciate the struggles felt by thousands of publicans across the country during the pandemic.

“Pubs have faced a number of unique challenges since the first lockdown in March 2020, including long periods of closure, reduced turnover and higher overheads due to social distancing measures. As we begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel, we hope people will take James’ advice and use the Good Beer Guide to visit excellent pubs across the country.

They need your support now more than ever.”

Pre-orders of the Good Beer Guide 2022 with a foreword by James Blunt are available at: https://shop1.camra. org.uk/product/the-good-beerguide-2022

Follow Your Local Team Every Week In The Mercury LAST GASP PENALTY FOR BLADES Moore: Post-Ipswich Billy Sharp scores goals - and his stoppage time penalty saw United home against ten-man Derby County on Saturday afternoon.

The skipper fired home from the penalty spot in front of the Kop after Curtis Davies inexplicably handled the ball in the box, after goalkeeper Kelle Roos had earlier been sent off for denying Sharp a clear goalscoring opportunity.

Boss Jokanović made two changes for the home clash against Wayne Rooney’s side. Norwood and Ndiaye were recalled to the starting XI with Hourihane and Brewster dropping to the bench.

After something of a slow start from both teams, United had two chances in four minutes. Fleck’s effort was comfortably saved

by Roos, but then from Baldock’s ball over the top, Sharp beat the offside controlled the ball in one movement but his shot was high and wide.

Derby’s first real chance came from their first corner of the game, Sibley’s delivery was inviting, and Jagielka rose highest and headed against the bar, before Olsen was alert to the danger in the second phase as he beat away an effort by Lawrence.

Shodipo reveals Owls key factor ONLY A SHORT WALK FROM SWFC

Moments later, referee Webb felt the need to intervene following a disagreement between Gibbs-White and Shinnie, brandishing a yellow card to both.

Gradually the Rams were getting into the game and after Lawrence had seen an effort blocked, Baldock let a quick effort off and thankfully it went inches wide of Olsen’s far post, before the Swedish stopper pushed away an angled drive from Shinnie.

But right on half-time, United had good sight of goal themselves, Sharp’s cross saw Ndiaye headed

against Davies and on the rebound Osborn went down but the referee waved away appeals for a penalty.

The second-half turned decisively in United favour just before the hour as Roos was dismissed for a foul on Sharp after the Blades skipper got the better of the Derby stopper. Pressure unsurprisingly followed immediately, with United forcing a number of corners before Ndiaye was denied. McBurnie then replaced Norwood as the Blades threw another body up front.

County still carried a live threat and Lawrence saw a shot gathered by Olsen at the second attempt after Jozwiak broke dangerously down the left, but with 13 minutes remaining United could have hit the front, but from Baldock’s inviting cross Ndiaye headed wide at the near post from a promising position. The one-way traffic continued as United piled numbers forward, but after the ball broke nicely, Stevens fired over.

But just when it looked like the visitors were going to frustrate the

Blades, Davies handled under pressure from Hourihane’s cross with McBurnie threating in the box and from the spot, SHARP stepped up and fired the ball into the roof of the net to the delight of the majority of the near 28,000 inside the Lane, although the celebrations were almost short lived as Lawrence hit the post having latched on to a Davies flick on, but Stevens averted the danger and thankfully that was the last action of note.

Olamide Shodipo has cited Darren Moore’s style of play as a key driver in his loan move to Hillsborough.

The wideman arrived from QPR over the summer having declined offers elsewhere to be part of Moore’s S6

revolution.

And Shodipo has revealed exactly why the pendulum swung the way of Wednesday.

He said: “I was on loan at Oxford last season, we played Doncaster and I was really impressed by the way he set up his

team and the way they played.

“That and the size of the club means Sheffield Wednesday is the ideal place to showcase what I can do.

“Everyone here trusts the manager and believes in his style and system.”

But for a harsh offside decisionlast week against Shrewsbury, the 24-year-old would have scored the winner as well as opening his Owls account.

He continued: “I’m really happy to be back playing.

I wasn’t out for long but it’s still hard to watch from the sidelines.

“I haven’t shown myself fully yet, there is much more to come. I want to play every game. There’s loads of competition in this squad and everyone is on it in training because everyone wants that shirt.”

ON THE GAME I look at the positives from the game. We’ve come here and had to manage a difficult arena with the crowd.

It was a good football game with both teams at it. We weren’t going to come here and sit back and as the game went on we picked up the pace and controlled it in large periods.

We had to win our one on one battles today. It was a good shift by the team. If I had one small critique, I think our decision making could have been better.

I think in the game we could have made some better decisions when we had the ball, to be more threatening, but it was a solid enough performance.

ON DENNIS ADENIRAN It was a good goal and great to see him score again.

When he came to the club I felt he was a midfielder who could get up the pitch more, given that he had played a more defensive role previously. He put us in a good lead.

ON BAILEY PEACOCKFARRELL We concede as a team and score as a team and he’s a terrific goalkeeper.

There’s a real togetherness in this group and we put it behind us and get back on the road on Tuesday.

I can slash any talk now that he won’t play against Wigan, because he will be ready and he will play.

He’s a top, top goalkeeper

who will play in the Premier League.

ON BARRY BANNAN He took a knock, I think it’s just behind the knee.

The physios are looking at it. Hopefully it won’t be serious and he’ll be okay for Wigan.

ON HARD WORK We move on, we went to win the game but we didn’t lose it. It’s a solid point. Every week when the players put on the shirt for Sheffield Wednesday they have to work hard and I think the away supporters will have seen that from the team today.

All the players and the staff are working hard for this wonderful football club.

UNITED WOMEN GO TOP OF THE LEAGUE WITH WIN OVER WATFORD United Women went top of the FA Women’s Championship with a third successive win in comfortable fashion at home to Watford.

As it was last time out at Coventry, the Blades ran out 3-0 winners largely thanks to two early strikes inside nine minutes from Courtney Sweetman-Kirk and Lucy Watson, before the latter added another shortly after half-time.

Watford started well though and were enjoying the better of the game inside the first five minutes before a quick counter attack saw the goal scorers link up with Watson providing the low cross for SweetmanKirk to tap home the opener.

Three minutes later and it was this time Watson on the end of a low ball into the box, this time from Jess Clarke on the right wing, and the 17-year-old made no mistake in firing home for the third game in succession.

The rest of the first half passed by without too many chances for either side, before Watson sealed things with a powerful low effort into the corner just four minutes after the break to take her tally to four in her last three.

Watford did have chances to make a game of it but were denied by some solid Blades defending, including a goal line clearance from Sophie Walton, and an instinctive late save from Fran Kitching to ensure a second clean sheet in a row.

Sweetman-Kirk saw a powerful effort fly just wide while a heavy touch denied Watson her hat-trick, but the three points had long been sealed.

Blades: Kitching, Newsham, Robert, Lipka (Syme 82), Sweetman-Kirk, Cusack (Wilcock 90), Watson, Clarke (Rolandsen 62), Enderby (Bourne 46), Walton, Bradley-Auckland.

Unused: Morfitt, Taylor, Docherty.

Wellens plenty of positives in performance

Manager Richie Wellens believes there were plenty of positives to take despite defeat at Plymouth Argyle on Saturday.

Jordy Hiwula gave Rovers the lead ten minutes into the second half, but two penalties which were converted by Luke Jephcott and Conor Grant saw the home side come from behind to snatch the win.

On creating chances: “In terms of creating chances, I think that’s the best we’ve been.

“We could have had a lot of goals against a top four team away from home.

“Hiwula could have had a hat-trick, Joe Dodoo could have had one, Aidan Barlow comes on and could have scored a couple of headers, so we created lots of chances.”

On the performance: “I’m disappointed with the result but really proud of the performance.

“They’re fourth in the league so that’s the level we’re up against.

“In our shape and the way we played, I thought we were better than them. That gives me a lot of satisfaction.

“My players were so good but they’ve got nothing for it.”

On keeping a level head after taking the lead: “I thought it was a good performance. My only negative would be that we got a bit panicky when we went 1-0 up.

“We’ve got to get that maturity about us so when we go 1-0 up we realise what got us there and keep doing the same things.

Hiwula: More to come from Rovers Jordy Hiwula was disappointed his first goal for Rovers didn’t lead to three points as they fell to a narrow defeat to Plymouth Argyle.

Goals from Luke Jephcott and Conor Grant – both from the penalty spot – saw the home side come from behind to take the win.

On the performance: “I thought we did well up until about 65 minutes – after that we just got a bit nervous I don’t know if it’s because we’d taken the lead.

“When we went 1-0 up, we changed a little bit and it got a bit passive.

“If we were in a better league position now, I think we’d take that game and win by two or three but because of where we are, we were a little bit nervy and we let one moment affect us.”

get that second goal Warne

Paul Warne was left ruing his side’s missed chances after the 1-1 draw with Crewe Alexandra at AESSEAL New York Stadium...

“It was a penalty - I’ve got no issue with that. It is a second yellow card and it is a sending off.

“Overall, I thought our performance was very good, you might be surprised to know.

“I think they had three attempts at goal and we had 20.

“Unfortunately, we just didn’t get that second goal and we knew last year in the Champ that whilst it is 1-0 you’re still in the game.

“They were still in the game and Viktor had to make a good save but we just didn’t take our chances.

“I thought our set piece delivery was excellent, it just didn’t drop to us on any first or second contacts.

“I spoke to the lads there and they feel devastated. It feels like a defeat because it has been one-way traffic really.

“We’re disappointed but we’re still fifth. It just feels like points dropped and that we’ve lost a game.”

“It was a solid away performance up until then.

“We need to build on the performance in the first hour of the game and take that into Tuesday night.

“Defeat is hard to take especially when it’s in the last minute and it’s a penalty, but we’ve got a good group of lads here and we’ll just keep working.”

On creating chances: “We dominated the ball for large parts of the game, and we created a lot of chances – that’s probably the most chances we’ve created in a game.

“We probably should have scored a couple more.

“The front three is effective. We’re all quite different so I think it’s a good balance and there’s a couple of lads on the bench as well who are pushing us.”

We should have won it - Ollie

Ollie Rathbone shares his huge disappointment at not coming away with all three points aftr Crewe’s late equaliser.

“I thought we dominated from start to finish and could have gone in at half time three or four goals up.

“At the end of the game we’re all really disappointed that we haven’t taken our chances in a game we should have won.

“Scoring is a part of my game I’ve wanted to improve, so it was nice to get my first goal for the club and get the monkey off my back, so to speak.

“I think we created enough chances to win the game, we’re happy with the performance levels but of course gutted not to come away with the win.
