Thankfully a lot more games beat the weather last weekend. Are we finally seeing the first blue skies of spring? It would certainly be a welcome relief to go to a match without getting soaked.
Things are beginning to hot up in all three divisions as we head into the final third of the season. Wycombe Wanderers, Denham United and Farnham Town still lead the way with the latter yet to drop any points. Southampton climbed to second in the Premier League whilst Penn & Tylers Green did the same in the North. Bemerton Heath still lead the chasing pack in the South.

Picture
​AFC Portchester v Reading
Portchy, who have only played eight league games so far, are five points adrift of Reading, but have three games in hand. Both sides have won their last three league games. This will be their first meeting of the season. Portchy have not lost at home in the league since September's defeat to Beaconsfield. Reading's last away defeat in the league was in November at Winchester.
Wicor Recreation Ground, PO16 9DP

Badshot Lea v Oxford City
Both have lost their last four league outings, although bottom side Badshot Lea are the more desperate for the points. City still have an eight point margin between themselves and the drop zone. The reverse fixture, City's last league victory, ended 7-3 to the hosts with both Ellie White and Yasmin Edwards hitting hat-tricks.
Westfield Lane, Wrecclesham GU10 4PF

Winchester City Flyers v Sholing
Flyers sit third, a point behind Southampton with a game in hand. Sholing, whilst having a five point gap on the bottom two, will still be looking for points to make their league status safe. This will be their first meeting this season. However, the teams are also scheduled to meet at Sholing on Friday evening in the SDFA Cup.
Hiller Way, Winchester SO23 7SU

Woodley United v Fleet Town
Having won last time out, Woodley will be looking to push away from the relegation zone. They sit nine points adrift of Fleet, but with a game in hand. Town won the reverse fixture 7-0 back in October, Layla Drury and Avery Tolley both scoring twice.
UofR Bulmershe Pavilion, ​RG5 3HE

Wycombe Wanderers v Southampton 
The current top two going head-to-head. Wycombe have an eleven pint gap at the top, albeit having played two more than The Sirens, and are yet to lose at home in the league. The first meeting this season, with the reverse fixture scheduled for early March, these two results could have a massive effect on the league title.

​Abingdon United Development v Penn & Tylers Green
Penn's win on Sunday kept them in contention with Denham, who are still holding on to their 100% record. The chasing pack can just keep winning and hope the leaders slip up at some point. Abingdon, themselves, are just two points behind Penn, but have played a game extra. Penn won the reverse fixture 2-1 in the middle of December.
The Northcourt, OX14 1PL

Ascot United Reserves v Chesham United Development
Despite winning last weekend, Ascot are still in need of more points to pull away from the drop zone. Chesham are very comfortable in mid-table but will still be looking to finish as high as possible, especially after losing their opening three games. Chesham won the reverse fixture 4-0 with the aid of a Sophie Bishop hat-trick.
The Racecourse Ground, SL5 7LJ

Larkspur Rovers v Farnborough
A first meeting between these two this season. Rovers currently sit third, only six points off top spot. Farnborough are 12 points worse off than their hosts but have played three games fewer. Borough are eight points above bottom side Kidlington, reasonably safe, but a few more points would certainly be useful.
Lord Halsbury Memorial Playing Fields, UB5 5FE

Slough Town v Denham United
A local derby and a chance for Slough to avenge the 6-1 defeat suffered at The Den back in September. Denham are exactly halfway through their league fixtures and, as yet, still have an unblemished record. Slough's recent good form came to an end last weekend when they lost to Penn & Tylers Green (Rebels Felled)
Arbour Park, SL2 5AY

​AFC Stoneham v Farnham Town
After going out of the League Cup and Capital Cup in the last two weeks, Farnham now have full focus on their 100% league record. They've only conceded four goals at home all season, but 50% of those were scored by Stoneham in their 4-2 defeat at The Mem in October. The Purps trail the leaders by seven points currently but have games in hand on the teams immediately above them.
Stoneham Lane, Eastleigh SO16 2PA

AFC Varsity v Wimborne Town
Despite there being six places between these two, the gap is only six points in a tightly congested table. Varsity are looking for their first win of 2026. The reverse fixture, in November, ended 3-2 to Wimborne after Varsity had led 2-0 after 52 minutes. Georgie Mitton popped up with the winner with 5 minutes to go.
Hatches Farm Sports Ground, Romey. SO51 6EA

Andover New Street v Bursledon
If you want to see goals, Bursledon are the team to follow at the moment. A total of 46 goals have been scored in their last five games, including scoring 13 and conceding 13 in consecutive matches. The teams have met twince already, a win apiece with six goals scored in both. Bursledon won an early FA Cup game 4-2 whilst New Street won 5-1 at Bursledon in the league.
Foxcotte Park, SP11 0TA

Bournemouth Sports Reserves v Shaftesbury
Sports will attempt to win a league game at home at the seventh attempt. Shaftesbury are looking for their first point on the road, so something has to give. Bournemouth won 4-1 at Coppice Street in November after coming from a goal down.
Chapel Gate, BH23 6BL

​Kidlington Youth v Barton United
These two will try again after the rain put paid to last weekend's clash. Although these two teams are separated by a division, they are effectively just one place apart with Kidlington bottom of Division One North and Barton currently heading Thames Valley Division One. Barton are unbeaten this season and full of confidence. This could be an interesting tie.
Yarnton Road, OX5 1AT

Wimborne Town v Poole Town
Another rescheduled tie after last weekend's postponement. South West Premier side, Poole Town, make the short trip over to Wimborne and start as slight favourites in this one, although they have yet to play in the competition, having received a bye in the previous round, as did Wimborne.
Wyatt Homes Stadium, BH21 2FU
