SoReg Review - (25/26) - Edition 30 - Leaders Leading From The Front

31/3/2026

0 Comments

 
The top team in every division won at the weekend. Wycombe lead their table by eight points, Denham by fourteen, and Farnham by six. However, none are yet guaranteed the title as we come into the final straight. Things are also tight at the bottom in the Premier and the North. Woodley and Badshot Lea are locked together at the bottom of the Premier League with Woodley having a slightly better goal difference and a game in hand. In the North Kidlington are three points adrift of Ascot, but have two games in hand. In the South, Shaftesbury are unfortunately all but certain to remain bottom.

Results - Sunday 29th March 2026

​Badshot Lea 0-7 Reading
Reading scored seven in under 30 second half minutes after this game was goalless at the break. Five minutes after the restart Tyra Wilson opened the scoring. Three minutes later Kezia Banduka made it two. Nat Cowell got the third after 68 minutes before Ava Broke-Smith, Bella Rowden and two from Tia Johnson, all within 6 minutes, rounded off the scoring.

Beaconsfield Town 1-1 AFC Portchester
Portchester took the lead in this game in the 72nd minute, through Kim Fuller. They were seconds away from claiming all three points when a brave header from Henna Hussain looped in the snatch a point for The Rams. Listen to Rams manager Brian Harris's post-match comments.

Southampton 2-3 Winchester City Flyers
Saffi Rae topped a PotM performance with a first goal for Flyers after 44 minutes. However, Eliska Lynn levelled for The Sirens before the half-time whistle. Emily Wernham then put the visitors back in front just after the restart, only for Liv Glover to equalise again. Charlie Snelling popped up with the winner for City in the 74th minute.

Woodley United 0-5 Wycombe Wanderers
Wanderers returned to winning ways in the league, scoring five without reply, even without the services of top scorer Kayla Potter. Jess Watkins closed the gap on Potter, making it 24 for the season with a brace. Chloe Melton grabbed her 22nd of the season with Emma Kern and Anisha Hill adding the other two goals. Watch the goals courtesy of Wycombe's X feed - 0 and take a look at the match photos from Andy Wicks.

​Larkspur Rovers 0-1 Penn & Tylers Green
Penn left it late, but an Annalise Scott-Green goal took the points lifting Penn above Rovers into second spot on goal difference.

Tilehurst Panthers 1-6 Denham United
Denham are now just five league games away from completing a perfect season after victory number 15 at Scours Lane. Annie Hewitt and Niamh Cashin both grabbed braces with Jem Potter and Sofia Harris adding the other two goals. Eve Rhind hit a late consolation for Panthers. Read the Denham match report on Instagram.

​AFC Varsity 1-3 Andover New Street
Brooke Suddaby scored her first New Street goal since the move from Wimborne Town. Freya Twigg added her 14th of a very productive season and Zoe Ridley made it six goals in nine games, as New Street returned to winning ways after three straight draws. Varsity remain third from bottom, but are mathematically safe from the drop zone.

Bemerton Heath Harlequins 2-3 Guernsey
After a goalless first half Harlequins took the lead just past the hour mark through Imogen Brady. However, Ruby Smith equalised four minutes later, and Donna Gallienne put the Green Lionesses in front on 73 minutes. Brady thought she had snatched a point for Quins with a 90th minute leveller, only for Ruby Smith to grab a dramatic winner four minutes into added time.

Farnham Town 3-1 Bournemouth Sports Reserves
Liberty Dieppe scored twice, her first goals since the dual registration signing from Maidenhead United, Iesha Swaby made it 27 for the season, and Francesca Thornton took over in goal, as Farnham continued their 100% record. That's now 12 from 12 and a six point lead with four games in hand. Emma Whall hit her second of the season just past the hour, but it was only a consolation for Sports. Watch the goals on the Farnham X feed.

Shaftesbury 0-5 Havant & Waterlooville
The Hawks pushed themselves into second spot with a five-star performance at Coppice Lane. Emma-Jane May led the way with a hat-trick. Evie Griffiths and Isobel Humphrey added the other two goals.

Wimborne Town 0-0 AFC Stoneham
The Purps dropped league points for the first time in March, conceding second place to Havant in the process. This was Wimborne's third straight draw and second 0-0 in three games. Stoneham now have four away games to finish the season, including a trip to Westleigh Park. Safe in midtable, The Magpies have a Dorset County Cup Final date with Sherborne to look forward to at the end of the month.

Fixtures - Sunday 5th April 2026

​AFC Portchester v Southampton
Despite dropping points to Beaconsfield's late equaliser last weekend, Portchester still have their title hopes in their own hands. Win every remaining game and win the league. Of course, it's not that simple. First step is to try to overcome a Southampton side who they have already drawn 2-2 with in the reverse fixture. The Sirens have drawn four of their last five games, but went down 3-2 to Winchester City last Sunday.
Wicor Recreation Ground, PO16 9DP

Badshot Lea v Wycombe Wanderers
After their League Cup Final victory, Wanderers also returned to winning ways in the league last weekend. Their 5-0 win at Woodley, even without top scorer Kayla Potter, saw them maintain their 8 point lead. However, both Winchester and Portchester could overtake them, in theory, with their games in hand. The Baggies are still rooted to the bottom, but are only there on goal difference. They need to stay in contention to set up a big final day with second bottom Woodley United.
Westfield Lane, Wrecclesham GU10 4PF

Fleet Town v Reading
Two teams safely positioned in mid-table. Reading are two places and ten points above Fleet, also with a game in hand. Reading can still make inroads into the top three, especially with four of their last six being at home. They could also have a big say in the title, with two games against Portchester still to come.
Crookham Road, GU51 5FA

Oxford City v Winchester City Flyers
Flyers beat City 3-0 in the reverse fixture earlier this month. After winning their last three in the league, Winchester are still in  a position to challenge Wycombe at the top. All they can do is try to win every game. City are safe from the drop, but will be looking to finish the season as high as they can. Of course, they've also got a county cup final and Chairman's Cup semi-final to look forward to.
Marsh Lane, OX3 0NQ

Woodley United v Sholing
Still just above the drop zone on goal difference, Woodley will want to avenge their 5-1 defeat in the reverse fixture on the opening day. Sholing are not completely safe themselves, having an 8-point advantage as it stands, but having played one more than Woodley. Defeat on Sunday would drag them back into danger.

​Abingdon United Development v Tilehurst Panthers
Neither team has too much to play for, although Abingdon could still book themselves a top three finish, even if the title is out of reach. The reverse fixture was played on the opening day with Abingdon returning from Scours Lane with the points after a 7-0 victory.
The Northcourt, OX14 1PL

Ascot United Reserves v Farnborough
Farnborough, with eight still to play, could still affect the top three come the end of the season. Ascot remain just three points above the drop zone, but have played two more than Kidlington, who are yet to visit The Racecourse. Farnborough won the reverse fixture 2-1 thanks to a very late Ellie Stalley winner.

Kidlington Youth v Larkspur Rovers

The reverse fixture to the opening day. Larkspur won that one 4-1, an early signal to how the season was going to go for both sides. Rovers, who lost second spot last Sunday, have had a very successful season, leading the chasing pack for much of it. Kidlington, conversely, have struggled and remain bottom, three points adrift of Ascot, with two games in hand.

​Bournemouth Sports Reserves v AFC Stoneham
Stoneham's 0-0 draw at Wimborne last weekend saw then lose second spot to Havant.  With The Hawks not in action, the Purps have the opportunity to go back above them with any kind of result at Chapel Gate. Sports could also climb the tightly congested mid-table should they reverse the 2-1 defeat suffered a Stoneham Lane on the opening Day.
Chapel Gate, BH23 6BL

Bursledon v Shaftesbury
The bottom two go head to head. However, The Dons are 12 points above the dotted line and have two in hand on Shaftesbury. This is the first meeting in the league this season. However, Shaftesbury will want to put aside their heavy Chairman's Cup defeat at the hands of The Dons back in February, in which Issy Pouncy hit a double hat-trick and Rosina Folkes scored four.
Priory Park, SO32 1SQ

Farnham Town v Andover New Street
Last weekend's victory made it twelve games without a blemish for Farnham. New Street climbed to fourth with their win at AFC Varsity, and will have their sights set on a top three finish. The teams are yet to meet this season, with Andover due to host Farnham on the last day.
Memorial Ground, GU9 7DY


Wimborne Town v Guernsey
The islanders have won two on the bounce now and have climbed back up to sixth after suffering a bad run over the winter. Wimborne sit one place and one point above them, but have played a game more. On the opening day The Magpies were the first to visit Guernsey, losing 7-5 in an extraordinary start to the season. Calleigh Hedley scored six that day and is still Guernsey's top scorer despite not playing since November.
