Sunday was a solemn day all across the region with a minute's silence being observed around the grounds as teams and officials paid their respects to Amelia Aplin, the young Oxford United player who tragically passed away earlier this month. In the Premier League, Portchester's Charmaine True struck the only goal as they took all three points at Wycombe. Winchester City, who are also in pursuit of the leaders, hit twelve whilst Oxford City and Southampton battled out a draw. Denham are still perfect in the North after winning Ascot, who are still in deep in a relegation fight. Stoneham kept a little pressure on Farnham in the South Results - Sunday 15th March 2026 Oxford City 2-2 Southampton A hard-earned point for City and a fourth consecutive league draw for The Sirens. Danielle Kjaer got the visitors off to a great start, scoring the opener after 9 minutes. However, a Yasmin Edwards double on 20 and 33 minutes had the hosting Hoops in front. Eliska Lynn pulled the Sirens back level five minutes before the break, and that's the way it stayed. Read the match report on the Southampton web site. Winchester City Flyers 12-1 Woodley United Sumayah Zayadi put Woodley in front after only 3 minutes. However, that just woke up the Winchester machine ands, in particular striker Chelsie Hay. Top scorer Hay equalised after 18 minutes before goals from Charlie Snelling, Shayne Prasad and another Hay strike, put Flyers 4-1 up at the break. Soon after the restart Snelling hit her second and then completed her hat-trick just before the hour. On the hour Chelsie Hay completed her hat-trick and proceeded to go on the rampage, adding four more with a 9 minute spell, taking her personal tally to seven for the match. Prasad then rounded off the dozen with a minute to go. You can view both Shayne Prasad goals here and check out the match photos from the Winchester web site. You can also view all seven Chelsie Hay goals. Wycombe Wanderers 0-1 AFC Portchester Cat, meet pigeon. A single Charmaine True strike was enough for Portchester to inflict a first home defeat of the season on Wanderers. The victory means that both Portchester and second placed Winchester City Flyers can now catch Wycombe should they win their games in hand. Having said that, The Chairgirls still have an eight point gap at the top. True's goal, however, has certainly breathed some life back into the title race.

Abingdon chalked up their first league maximum since the end of November thanks to two goals from April England and another from Beth Hawtin. Larkspur can now be caught by Penn, with their game in hand. However, Pen and Rovers still have to meet twice. Ascot United Reserves 1-6 Denham United United went twelve points clear with this victory which also increased the relegation worries for Ascot. Both Niamh Cashin and Brogan Moore each added two more goals to their season's tally. Annie Hewitt and Jemima Potter also got onto the scoresheet. Denham are now six games away from completing the perfect league campaign. Oxford City Development A-A Penn & Tylers Green Penn were two goals up in this game, thanks to Holly Wyncoll, before the match was abandoned due to a neck injury to an Oxford player. Best wishes go to the player in question. Hoping for a swift and full recovery. Slough Town 0-2 Farnborough An unfortunate own goal and a composed Poppy Hawkin finish gave Farnborough all three points at Arbour Park. Borough could now climb as high as second should they win their games in hand. Slough now have just one game remaining, but are safely positioned in mid-table.  AFC Stoneham 4-2 Bemerton Heath Harlequins Hollie Keating and Ellie Hayward helped Harlequins into a 2-1 lead at the break. However Stoneham were not to be denied, coming back to take all three points. Two goals each rom Aimee Gritt and captain Mia Flood, sealed the deal for The Purps. AFC Varsity 2-1 Bursledon Gurinder Rayat scored a goal in each half to give Varsity the points and lift them up to eighth in the table, above Guernsey and Bursledon. Take a look at the winning goal courtesy of The Terrace Traveller (@TerraceTrav) Farnham Town P-P Shaftesbury Wimborne Town 0-0 Andover New Street There's little to separate these teams in the league table and that proved to be the case on the pitch too. Both are very safe from any worries, but could still have an effect on the top three, especially New Street, who still have two games against the league leaders to come. First of all, though, the reverse fixture of this game awaits the teams next weekend.  Badshot Lea 2-1 Tilehurst Panthers The Baggies found some welcome relief from the league woes and booked themselves a meeting with Sholing in the net round of The Chairman's Cup. After a goalless first half, Gemma Luke opened the scoring on 49 minutes. However, Panthers were soon level through top scorer Leah Why. Holly Montgomery sealed victory for Badshot Lea with five minutes remaining. Bournemouth Sports Reserves 1-1 (p4-2) Havant & Waterlooville Sports, who have struggled to win at home in the league, took the lead in this game through Morgan Hill's 28th minute strike. However, Jodie Burchell levelled things for The Hawks. Sports went on to win 4-2 in the penalty shootout. Kidlington Youth 0-1 Sholing The Greens showed more of the fight that earned them a league point last weekend, but were ultimately defeated by Sophie Lee's 69th minute winner. Sholing now face a trip to Badshot Lea in the next round. Fixtures - Thursday 19th March 2026NHDFA Cup FinalWinchester City Flyers v Farnborough A tough assignment for Division One North Farnborough as they face up to a Flyers side who have been scoring goals for fun recently. BotP was at the semi-final between Andover New Street and Winchester last month (New Street Knocked Out By A Haymaker) in which Chelsie Hay hit a hat-trick. The Flyers striker scored seven last weekend, to emphasise her current form. Farnborough, however, have won four on the bounce in all competitions and will no doubt be up for the challenge. All being well, BotP will be there to witness the game. Longmeadow (Whitchurch United), RG28 7RB Fixtures - Sunday 22nd March 2026 Beaconsfield Town v Fleet Town Something of a mid-table battle between two sides who have not met each other yet this season. It's fair to say that both have been inconsistent and will be looking to finish strongly in preparation for the next term. The Rams are still only a couple of points off third spot. Holloways Park, HP9 2SE  Abingdon United Development v Oxford City Development City are probably looking to take at least three more points from their remaining three games in order to guarantee survival. United are secure in mid-table but could still push for as top three finish. Abingdon won the reverse fixture 3-0 with goals from April England, Beth Hawtin and Jessica Exell. The Northcourt, OX14 1PL Ascot United Reserves v Penn & Tylers Green Penn won't have given up the title chase, but it's looking increasingly like they are playing for second spot. Ascot are only three points above Kidlington, at the bottom, and have played three more games. The reverse fixture was awarded as a home win to Penn. The Racecourse Ground, SL5 7LJ Farnborough v Larkspur Rovers Borough could still make a dent in the top three with their games in hand. They'll be looking to begin reeling in second placed Larkspur on Sunday. However, first they have the NHDFA Cup Final against Winchester to look forward to on Thursday. This is their first meeting with Larkspur, who trail leaders Denham by eight points. Westleigh Park, PO9 5TH Tilehurst Panthers v Kidlington Youth A first meeting of the season between these two. Panthers sit in eighth, ten points above the Greens. Like Oxford, Tilehurst will feel that one more win would see them safe, especially if it came at the hands of a team currently below them. A win for Kidlington could take them level with Ascot. The Rivermoor, Scours Lane, Reading, RG30 6AY  Andover New Street v Wimborne Town After their 0-0 draw at Wimborne last Sunday, these two face up again. separated by a point, but with Andover having two games in hand. The home side have a good defensive record at home, so this one is likely to also be quite a tight encounter, although Town average almost 3 goals per game on their travels. Foxcotte Park, SP11 0TA Bemerton Heath Harlequins v Bournemouth Sports Reserves Since beating Stoneham to go second, Bemerton have only taken one point from their last five league outings. Sports, somewhat conversely, have won their last three in all competitions and sit just above Bemerton on goal difference. The reverse fixture ended in a 2-2 draw with all four goals coming in the opening 28 minutes. Barry Jackman Sports Pavilion, RG28 7FS Farnham Town v AFC Varsity With ten wins from ten games, Farnham lead the division by three points and have four games in hand on second placed Havant. Varsity's defeat of Bursledon last weekend lifted them well clear of trouble. The reverse fixture saw 12 goals scored, ten of which came in a manic 32-minute spell in the second half, as Farnham won 8-4. Memorial Ground, GU9 7DY Guernsey v Havant & Waterlooville The Hawks are still on the tail of Farnham but, with games running out and Town showing no signs of weakness, it's beginning to look like a race for second place. Guernsey's form has dipped in the latter part of the season, after a good start. However, they are safe from any trouble. The reverse fixture ended in a 0-0 draw. Victoria Avenue, Guernsey GY2 4BB Shaftesbury v AFC Stoneham Stoneham are another side who will not be giving up the chase of Farnham until it's mathematically impossible. They make the trip to Shaftesbury who, twelve points adrift at the bottom, have only pride to play for in reality. The reverse fixture, played at the start of this month, ended in an 8-1 Purps victory. Coppice Street, SP7 8PD  Semi-FinalsReading v AFC Portchester Oddly, given how late in the season we now are, these two have yet to meet. Portchy come into the game fresh from inflicting Wycombe's first home defeat of the season. However, you have to remember that Reading also drew at Wycombe and beat the league leaders at home. Both will be keen to get to a cup final and the chance to add some silverware. Arbour Park, SL2 5AY Winchester City Flyers v Wycombe Wanderers A third meeting of the season between these two teams. Wycombe have the upper hand in the league, having done the double over Flyers. However, the Chairgirls come into the game on the back of a home defeat to Portchester, whist Winchester were smashing in a dozen against Woodley. Hiller Way, Winchester SO23 7SU  Badshot Lea v Sholing
The teams have already met twice in the league this season, with both encounters ending in away wins. The Baggies won 3-1 at Sholing in November, their only three-pointer of the season so far. Sholing had a morale-boosting win against Reading at the weekend, a win that put them eight points clear of the Baggies. Westfield Lane, Wrecclesham GU10 4PF Bursledon v Denham United A tough ask for The Dons, up against a Denham side that is still defending a 100% league record. Bursledon are relatively safe from danger in the league, so can concentrate fully on this competition. Priory Park, SO32 1SQ Woodley United v Oxford City United's only league victory of the season came at Oxford back in February (Super Stalley's Goal Statistics Make Woodley So Vivacious). However, they'll need to shake off Sunday's heavy defeat to Winchester before taking on City again. Oxford earned a creditable draw at Southampton on Sunday and are still fighting on two cup fronts, this competition and the Oxfordshire FA Women's Cup. UofR Bulmershe Pavilion, RG5 3HE
