Chesterfield Ladies host Rotherham United Women on Sunday afternoon at the Chesterfield Panthers Rugby Club ground in the East Midlands Women’s Premier Division.
Mike Noon’s side must win this game in order to keep the title race alive. A draw or a defeat would leave the Blues mathematically unable to leapfrog league leaders Notts County Women and secure automatic promotion.
This will be Chesterfield’s first game of any kind in 24 days and will be the first time they’ve competed at the Chesterfield Panthers Rugby Club ground since the fourth of December last year.
