[3] In 2009–10, Sheffield lived up to their pre-season billing as title contenders and ultimately won the Division One East of the Yorkshire & Humberside League, the bottom level of the women's pyramid of football at the time until the formation of the County Leagues, thanks to a 3–2 victory in a title-deciding night match against runners up Barnsley at home in front of 150 supporters.

The team picked up silverware for the third season running, this time courtesy of a first win in the Sheffield & Hallamshire County Cup.

The first team went one better in 2012–13 as they lifted the FA WPL Northern Division title for the first time, crowning an incredible rise through the ranks of the women's game.

Sheffield were front runners from the start of the season, losing just one league match in total, and finishing nine points clear of Nottingham Forest.
