Dinnington's Jade Moore and Killamarsh's Millie Bright couldn't help England's Women team overcome the Netherlands in the Euro 2017 semi final in Enschede.
The pair both started for the Lionesses last night but they lost 3-0, with the third strike being an own-goal by Bright in injury time.
Here are the highlights of the match:
Wildlife presenter Chris Packham is campaigning for an end to grouse shooting on Ilkley Moor, calling it "moorland vandalism".
He made his comments in a statement to moor owners Bradford Council ahead of the grouse shooting season next week.
The council said it permits shooting for eight days each year, under a contract to be reviewed in 2018.
Ilkley Moor is the last publicly owned place in the UK to allow grouse shooting during the season.
Chris Packham addressed council leader Susan Hinchcliffe in a letter sent by the group Ban Bloodsports on Ilkley Moor.
He said the practice was "ecologically disastrous".
A council spokesperson said when the current contract ends all representations would be considered before a decision to renew or not was made.
People living in York will be able to have their say over plans for a new road into the city centre.

However, it's surrounded by railway lines so a new route to it will be needed - there are several potential options including a new bridge over the East Coast Mainline.
The plans go online in just over a fortnights time, and four public events for people to have their say are being held later this month and in September.
Sheffield should bid again for the title of UK City Of Culture according to a former council leader.

Lord Paul Scriven says the success of Derry and current host city Hull show the value of the title.
A bright and breezy day is expected, with some some sunny spells, but perhaps also the odd shower.
The showers will generally remain on the light side, and will be most likely across the Pennines.
Tonight any showers are expected to gradually fade during the evening, with winds also easing.
A dry night, with largely clear skies then follows.
Two teenagers have been charged with attempted murder following a series of shootings in Huddersfield.

A taxi driver was wounded in one of the incidents.
Campaigners in Sheffield are trying to raise the capital to refurbish their local pub.
Image source, GoogleThe Plough in Crosspool was registered as an asset of community value earlier this year and now locals are trying to raise £120,000 to refurbish the pub and get the business up and running.
They're looking for people to buy shares in the pub of between £250 and £20,000.
