The girls followed their first win up with another in the group stages, beating hosts Wigan 3-1.
A 1-1 draw with Stockport County meant that the girls won their group and progressed through to the semi-finals.
They faced Bolton for a place in the final, and an emphatic 4-1 win secured their spot to face Shrewsbury again, this time for the trophy.
The girls rose to the challenge excellently, coming away with a 3-1 victory to secure the trophy and their passage to the Regional Final.
Details of the Regional Final will be confirmed soon, with the girls hoping to go all the way and represent Rovers at Wembley before the final of the Papa Johns Trophy.
