Sunday’s meeting with Oxford United Women had been scheduled to be played at the Keepmoat Stadium.

But a fixture clash with Doncaster RLFC means Belles will not get to lift the league trophy at their home ground.

Belles said in a statement: “The move came after the club were informed that the Keepmoat Stadium would no longer be available due to a rugby league fixture.

“Our friends at Sheffield FC have been kind enough to host us once again after previously helping the Belles during the summer of 2016 when we hosted Sunderland in the Continental Tyres Cup.

“With champions status already secured, it should be a fantastic game and with it comes the chance to witness Leandra Little and the Belles lifting the FA WSL 2 title.”

Tickets will be priced at £6 for adults and £1 for concessions at the turnstile.
