On Thursday, Leeds face sterner opposition in the form of Brighouse Town, who are competing their first season in the Northern Premier Division, the tier above the Whites, having successfully applied for upward movement last year after the pandemic prevented large parts of the women's pyramid from completing their seasons on the pitch.
With United's chance to claim the Division One North title having slipped away, this evening's final presents a great chance for Dan O'Hearne's side to get their hands on some silverware.
