Two milestones were passed on Sunday. Shaftesbury finally got a point on the board (three to be exact), after beating Andover New Street, and Wycombe Wanderers made it an entire year since they lost a league game. Southampton, Winchester, Beaconsfield and Portchester (who clocked up double figures) all won to keep the pressure on the Premier League leaders. In the North, Penn were the big winners, coming from behind to put seven past Kidlington. BotP was at Larkspur to see them beat Slough Town (A Double At The Rovers), and Chesham also won, 3-2 at Oxford. Farnham retained their 100% record in the south, Havant and Guernsey drew 0-0, whilst there were wins for Bursledon and, of course, Shaftesbury. Results - Sunday 11th January 2026 AFC Portchester 10-1 Badshot Lea In their first league game for nearly two months, Portchy let rip on Badshot Lea clocking up double figures. However, the result does not lift them up in the table after wins for Beaconsfield and Southampton. Charmaine True, April Hill and Kim Fuller all scored twice, with Sophie Bell, Becky Bath, Millie Bradbury and a own goal making it ten. Charlotte Keenan grabbed the consolation for The Baggies, who remain three points above the drop zone. Take a look at the match action photos courtesy of Dave Haines. Oxford City 1-2 Wycombe Wanderers A Jess Watkins penalty and a Kyla Potter strike put Wycombe two in front inside the opening 16 minutes. City pulled a goal back on 65 minutes, through Ellie White, but Wanderers held tight for the three points. It's now a year since Wycombe last lost a league game, home or away.

Reading 2-3 Winchester City Flyers Reading took a one goal lead into the half-time break thanks to Tyra Wilson's 42nd minute goal. However, Flyers were back on level terms three minutes after the restart thanks to Chelsie Hay. Just past the hour, Hay scored her second to give Flyers the lead. Emma Whitlock made it 3-1 on 86 minutes and, despite an added time goal from Nat Cowell, Flyers took the points back to Hampshire and stayed in second spot. Watch Chelsie Hay's goals and Emma Whitlock's third goal. Listen to Shayne Prasad and Emma Pearmine's post match thoughts. Sholing 3-5 Beaconsfield Town After a couple of heavy defeats, Beaconsfield returned to winning ways, coming from behind twice. Sophie Elmes and Danielle O'Leary put The Boatwomen 2-0 up inside 18 minutes. However, Alix Todd pulled a goal back just before the break, before Evie Bloxham-Phillips levelled the scores a minute after half-time. Elmes then restored Sholing's lead, only for Mia Parkin to equalise on 67 minutes. Henna Hussain then took over the show, scoring two goals in four minutes to seal the points for The Rams.

Southampton 4-2 Woodley United The Sirens had to come from a goal down twice in this game as Woodley gave them an early shock. Sumayah Zayadi put United in front after 6 minutes only for Liv Glover to level it 10 minutes later. However, Summer Major put the visitors back in front, a lead they held until just before the break, when Isobel Conti equalised again. Three minutes after the restart Emily Wilson put the hosts ahead for the first time and when Lucy Mear added a fourth, the points were sealed.  Kidlington Youth 1-7 Penn & Tylers Green Kidlington's miserable season continued at the hands of a rampant Penn side at Yarnton Road, despite taking the lead through a superb Kiera Isaac strike. The League's leading scorer, Tara Woodward, helped herself to five more goals, two in the first half and a hat-trick in the second. Interspersed between Woodward's goals, Ellie Lovelock added two more to her tally. Watch the highlights courtesy of Penn's Facebook feed. Larkspur Rovers 3-0 Slough Town BotP had the pleasure of watching this game (A Double At The Rovers). Two very hard-working sides who put on a good show in difficult conditions. In a tight first half, a Shivani Bedi goal was the only difference. However a blistering start to the second half saw Rovers take control with goals from Savana Fearon and Ashleigh Kinsey. Even the dismissal of Charlotte Workman, on 78 minutes, couldn't stop the home side taking the points. Oxford City Development 2-3 Chesham United Development After defeat to Farnborough before Christmas, Chesham returned to winning ways against an Oxford side looking to capitalise on their defeat of Kidlington before the winter break. However, goals from Megan Fillary and Faith Kingdon, were not enough for the Hoops as Ruby Slade, in the first half, and late goals from Bo Edwards and Amy Gunn, saw the points heading back to Buckinghamshire. Tilehurst Panthers P-P Farnborough  Havant & Waterlooville 0-0 Guernsey The Green Lionesses halted a run of three defeats with a valuable point at Havant, the teams first-ever goalless draw. A very tight encounter saw the points shared, lifting both teams up in the league. Guernsey went from seventh to sixth, whilst The Hawks jumped from sixth to fourth after defeats for Bemerton and Andover. AFC Varsity P-P Bournemouth Sports Reserves Bursledon 4-2 Bemerton Heath Harlequins The Dons blasted Bemerton with four goals in a ten minute spell either side of half-time. Laura Barton opened the scoring on 40 minutes with Rosina Folkes adding a second just before the break. Two minutes into the second period, Isobel Pouncy made it three before Folkes added her second on 50 minutes. Harlequins staged a mini-comeback through Paige Brazier, after 65 minutes, and Hollie Keating on the stroke of full-time, but it wasn't enough to stop the home side taking the points. Farnham Town 2-0 Wimborne Town Wimborne's five wins on the bounce came to an end as Farnham maintained their 100% record in the league. The Magpies held the leaders until ten minutes into the second half when two goal in three minutes, the first from Emily Foss, the second from Echo Barrett, secured the points for Town. Watch the highlights here. Shaftesbury 2-1 Andover New Street What a way for Shaftesbury to start the new year. In their ninth league outing of the season they not only picked up their first points, but also their first win. Two first half goals from Fleur Dixon and Katie Marshallsay were enough to give Shaftesbury the points, despite Imogen Mullins pulling a goal back for New Street.  Abingdon United Development P-P Fleet Town Fixtures - Sunday 18th January 2026 Beaconsfield Town v Woodley United Woodley remain at the bottom of the table, but their three games in hand on Badshot Lea gives them hope of getting out of trouble. However, they make the journey to Beaconsfield still looking for their first win of the season. The Rams had a good win at Sholing at the weekend, and will be looking to replicate their 6-0 win at Bulmershe Pavilion back in November. Holloways Park, HP9 2SE Fleet Town v Badshot Lea The Baggies need to put their heavy defeat at Portchester out of their minds as they take on local rivals Fleet on Sunday. Town are two places and six points above Badshot Lea, having played two fewer games. The reverse fixture ended in a 4-0 win for Fleet Crookham Road, GU51 5FA Reading v Wycombe Wanderers Wycombe take their unbeaten league records to the only team who have taken points off them this season. Reading drew 0-0 at Wycombe at the start of December. However, Sunday's home defeat to Winchester saw Reading slip to sixth place. Arbour Park, SL2 5AY  Abingdon United Development v Slough Town United are still hanging on to second spot in the table but have Larkspur and Penn breathing down their neck now. Slough, who lost at Larkspur on Sunday (A Double At The Rovers), will be looking to avenge the 2-1 home defeat suffered to Abingdon earlier in the season. The Northcourt, OX14 1PL Chesham United Development v Ascot United Reserves A first meeting of the season between these two. Ascot are just one place and three points above bottom side Kidlington, albeit with a game in hand. They'll be looking to put some distance between themselves and the doted line. Chesham got back to winning ways on Sunday with a 3-2 win at Oxford. Chiltern Hills Academy, HP5 2RG Larkspur Rovers v Oxford United Development Rovers, who beat Slough 3-0 at the weekend (A Double At The Rovers), are just a point off second placed Abingdon, with a game in hand. However, they did lose the reverse fixture to this game 4-1 in September. That was Oxford's last win before going on a run of six defeats, ended with a 3-2 defeat of Kidlington Before Christmas. Lord Halsbury Memorial Playing Field, UB5 5FE Penn & Tylers Green v Tilehurst Panthers Two more sides meeting for the first time this season. Panthers have only played once since mid-November and that was a 2-1 defeat at home to Slough. Both teams are catching up on league fixtures having only played eight and seven respectively. Penn won last season's corresponding fixture 5-1 and had Lydia Vettese (now at Beaconsfield) sent off. French School Meadow, HP10 8LG  Guernsey v Bemerton Heath Harlequins This will be the first meeting between these sides, who are tied together on 14 points in the middle of the table. Harlequins, however, have played a game fewer then their hosts. Quins have scored twice in each of their last three games but have only taken one point. The Green Lionesses will be looking to Codie Le Flem to keep up her goal scoring after scoring twice in the last three. Victoria Avenue, GY2 4BB Wimborne Town v Shaftesbury Although these two have not yet met in the league, they have faced each other in the FA Cup. The game, played at Wimborne, ended in a 1-1 draw after 90 minutes, with Wimborne going through 3-0 in the penalty shootout. Shaftesbury will be hoping that last week's defeat of Andover was the start of a good run. Wimborne will be looking to get back to winning ways after going down at Farnham. Wyatt Homes Stadium, BH21 2FU  AFC Bournemouth v Sholing
A very tough task ahead for Sholing as they attempt to bridge a two division gap against National Southern premier Division leaders AFC Bournemouth. The Cherries are unbeaten across all competitions this season and still fighting on four fronts, including the FA Cup, in which they face Manchester City, which is scheduled for the same day as this game. Both games still show as 'on' in FA Full-Time currently. Venue: AFC Bournemouth Women AFC Stoneham v Winchester City Flyers Flyers make the short journey down to Eastleigh to face Southern Division high-flyers AFC Stoneham. Both teams come into the game in good form. The Purps have won their last three, a run going back to early November. Winchester, meanwhile, are on a run of five consecutive victories in all competitions and sit second in the Premier League. Stoneham Lane, Eastleigh SO16 2PA Andover New Street v Farnborough After losing to Shaftesbury last Sunday, Andover will be looking to get back to winning ways as Farnborough pay a visit to Foxcotte Park. Farnborough's only defeat since September came at Premier League Winchester City Flyers in the League Cup, a competition that had already see them knock out New Street's league-mates Bursledon. Foxcotte Park, SP11 0TA Bournemouth Sports v Southampton Women These teams were in the same division last season. The Sirens suffered relegation whilst Sports finished two places above them. Both are in a better place this season. Sports midway in the National League South-West and Southampton third in the Southern Region Premier. They met three times last season, Sports drew at Southampton in the league and won the home tie. However, Southampton beat Sports 1-0 at home in the League Cup. Chapel Gate, BH23 6BL Bursledon v AFC Portchester Portchester earned promotion to the Premier League the same season that Bursledon were promoted into Division One South, so they have not shared a division since the 2022-23 season, when both were in the Hampshire County League. The Dons have been picking up a few points recently, winning two of their last three in the league. Portchy, after their FA Cup exploits, got back into league action by putting 10 past Badshot Lea last weekend. Priory Park, SO32 1SQ Havant & Waterlooville v AFC Varsity Division One South league-mates, Havant and Varsity, come face to face for the third time this season. The previous two league meetings have been tight affairs. Havant won 1-0 at Varsity in October thanks to Emma-Jane May's goal. The reverse fixture ended in a 1-1 draw. Westleigh Park, PO9 5TH Farnham Town v Denham United This promises to be the game of the week. Both teams have 100% league records after eight games each and have similar scoring record. Denham just about have the edge there, having scored four more than Farnham and conceded one fewer. Both have four players in the top 11 scorers in their respective leagues. This is going to be a fascinating tussle and BotP will, all being well, be there to witness it. Memorial Ground, GU9 7DY
