The girls, who were representing Derby County Under-13s, beat competition from 10 other schools in the area finals in Nottingham to progress to the Northern Regional final.
And, if they are triumphant again, they will get the chance to play on the hallowed turf of Wembley Stadium before this year's Johnstone's Paint Trophy final on April 7.
