The two 100% teams, Denham United and Farnham Town, both maintained their records with excellent away wins, Denham at Slough and Farnham at Stoneham. In the Premier League Wycombe came from two down at home to Southampton to snatch a draw in added time. There was utter madness at Bulmershe Pavilion where Fleet edged out Woodley 5-4 in a game that saw five goals scored in eight minutes. Penn continued their pursuit of Denham in the North, winning at Abingdon whilst, in the South, Havant & Waterlooville leapt above Bemerton into second spot. Both Kidlington and Wimborne booked county cup final places. It's also great to have Wandering Tractor back out there. You can read about Dave's latest visit to Woodley United below.

However, they were eclipsed by Layla Drury and no fewer than four goals from Lily Martin.

Abingdon United Development 1-4 Penn & Tylers Green A Sasha Scott goal for Abingdon was the consolation as Penn scored four at The Northcourt.

Ascot United Reserves 1-5 Chesham United Development Chesham got back to winning ways after losing to the leaders last weekend, condemning Ascot to a ninth defeat of the season.

Bishop added her second on the hour before Annabelle Stanbridge scored the fifth with ten minutes remaining. Larkspur Rovers P-P Farnborough Slough Town 0-3 Denham United Denham maintained their 100% record with a three goal haul at Arbour Park. Two from Brogan Moore and a Sofia Harris goal gave the visitors the points, keeping them five clear at the top with a game in hand. Slough now only have two league games left to play, both at home, and will be looking to push for a top half finish.  AFC Stoneham 0-6 Farnham Town Farnham's 100% record remains intact after this win at Stoneham Lane. The league leaders went ahead in the 23rd minute through Iesha Swaby and were two up just before the break thanks to Nicole Leys. Swaby then scored again just after the restart, before an own goal made it 4-0 after 56 minutes. Swaby's hat-trick was completed with two minutes remaining and Francesca Thornton made it a half-dozen a minute later. Watch the goals on the Farnham X feed. Havant & Waterlooville 4-1 Bemerton Heath Harlequins The Hawks leapfrogged their opponents into second on the back of this win. Millie McNamara had given the home side the lead early on, but Imogen Brady squared it up in first-half added time. Second half goals from Calla Swain, Jodie Burchell, and Ruby Harris-Pitt gave the points to Havant. Andover New Street 3-1 Bursledon Bursledon led at half-time through an Issy Pouncy penalty. However, New Street stormed back in the second period. Freya Twigg levelled the scores and then the same player put the home side in front. Zoe Ridley added the third and sealed the points, moving Andover 12 points clear of the bottom. Bournemouth Sports Reserves 3-0 Shaftesbury An eleventh defeat of the season for Shaftesbury as Sports lifted themselves from eighth to fourth. Shaianne Vakatawa started it all in the 17th minute. Isobel Weatherly then made it 2-0 eight minutes later. It took Bournemouth until the 85th minute to really seal the points when Weatherly added her second of the game.  Kidlington Youth 3-1 Barton United Some respite from a disappointing league season for The Greens. They'll now take on Oxford City in the final for the second year running. Despite moving the game to Barton's home ground, Kidlington were still too much for their lower-ranked opposition. Bethany Chapman scored the consolation for United. Wimborne Town 1-1 (p3-1) Poole Town A great result for Wimborne, putting out South West Premier League side Poole Town to progress in the VEO Women's Cup. Goalless at the break, the teams traded goals through Abigail Buck for The Magpies and Poole's Lucy Coalter, sending the game into a penalty shootout. Town held their nerve to win 3-1 from the spot. Wimborne will take on Sherborne Town in the final. Fixtures - Sunday 1 March 2026 Beaconsfield Town v Badshot Lea The Baggies remain bottom of the table on goal difference. Beaconsfield sit in fifth spot, but just tree points off second place. The Rams won the reverse fixture 5-1 back in September thanks in the main to a Freya Harris hat-trick in the first half. Holloways Park, HP9 2SE Fleet Town v Oxford City City are one place and four points below Sunday's hosts, but they do have a game in hand. Fleet scored five second half goals on Sunday, coming from behind to beat Woodley 5-4. Oxford are looking for their first league victory since their 6-1 victory at Beaconsfield in December. The reverse fixture ended in a 2-2 draw thanks to late City goals from Katherine parsons and Ellie White. Crookham Road, GU51 5FA Reading v Southampton A big game for both teams who currently sit fourth and third respectively. The Sirens held leaders Wycombe to a draw last Sunday, after leading 2-0 early in the second half (Wycombe Survive The Sirens Call). Reading have won their last four in all competitions, including a 1-0 defeat of Wycombe. The Royals also came from behind to win the reverse fixture by 3-1. Arbour Park, SL2 5AY Woodley United v AFC Portchester United will need to shake off the disappointment of Sunday's narrow home defeat as they welcome Portchester to Bulmershe pavilion. With six games in hand on the leaders and an 18 point deficit, Portchester will not be counting themselves out of the title race. This will be their first meeting this season. UofR Bulmershe Pavilion, RG5 3HE Wycombe Wanderers v Winchester City Flyers For the second weekend running Wycombe host the team directly below them in the league and, if this is anything like last week's clash with Southampton, it should be a classic. The reverse fixture wasn't too shabby in itself. Wycombe came from 2-0 down at the break to snatch a 3-2 victory. Should Flyers win this match it would put them in a position to overhaul the leaders with their games in hand. 18i78 Stadium, SL1 8JG  Ascot United Reserves v Tilehurst Panthers Neither side is completely clear of the dreaded drop zone, but with just a three point gap, Ascot are the team in the most need of points. The reverse fixture, in September, was awarded to Panthers as a walkover. Tilehurst have not won a league game since their 2-1 win at Oxford City Development in October. Ascot recently broke their losing streak by defeating the same team 4-1 at The Racecourse. Racecourse Ground, Ascot, Berkshire SL5 7LJ Kidlington Youth v Denham United When you are bottom of the table and have only picked up one point form the last 30 available, a visit from the league's leaders, together with their 100% record, is probably not that enticing. However, that's the task that faces Kidlington this weekend. This will be the first meeting of the teams this season after the reverse fixture was postponed. Yarnton Road, OX5 1AT Larkspur Rovers v Abingdon United Development Third versus fourth with just a point separating the teams. Abingdon have stumbled a little recently, taking just one point from their last three games. Larkspur have managed six points in the same timeframe. This will be their first meeting of the season. Lord Halsbury Memorial Playing Fields, UB5 5FE Penn & Tylers Green v Oxford City Development Five wins in the last six games has established Penn in second place and as the main challenger to Denham's title pursuit. City have only won once in their last ten league outings and have not managed any points on the road since winning back to back games in September. French School Meadow, HP10 8LG  AFC Stoneham v Shaftesbury
One point from their last three league games has seen Stoneham drop out of the title race, but they'll be looking to get the season back on track against the bottom side on Sunday. Shaftesbury have lost all of their away games so far and are now nine points from safety. This is the first meeting of the teams this season. Stoneham Lane, Eastleigh SO16 2PA Bemerton Heath Harlequins v Andover New Street After a few disappointing results, Andover bounced back to form on Sunday with a good win over an in-form Bursledon team. Harlequins, meanwhile, lost second spot to Havant after going down 4-1 to The Hawks. New Street won the reverse fixture in some style, putting eight unanswered goals past Bemerton. Barry Jackman Sports Pavilion, RG28 7FS Farnham Town v Bursledon The Farnham machine blasted six at Stoneham last Sunday, making it nine league games without dropping a single point. This will be their first meeting with Bursledon, who were beaten by Andover last Sunday, ending a good run of form. This game sees the division's top two scorers going head-to-head. Iesha Swaby has scored 22 for Farnham so far. Issy Pouncy has 17 for Bursledon. Along with Rosina Folkes and Emily Foss, the two sides have four of the top five scorers in the league. Memorial Ground, GU9 7DY Guernsey v AFC Varsity Both teams have won just once in the last six, although Varsity have drawn two of those to Guernsey's one. They are yet to meet this season. Varsity, second from bottom, are still nine points clear of the drop zone. Guernsey are a further five points better off. However, I'm sure both will be looking to finish as high up as they possibly can. Victoria Avenue, Guernsey GY2 4BB Havant & Waterlooville v Wimborne Town Five points and three places separates Havant, in second, from Wimborne. The reverse fixture only took place at the beginning of February, and was Wimborne's last league outing. Goals from Jodie Burchell and Isobel Humphrey won that one for The Hawks. Westleigh Park, PO9 5TH
