Andover New Street ended Farnham Town's 100% record in Town's 13th match, winning 3-1 at The Mem. That leaves Denham United as the sole team with a 100% record. In the Premier League it was a case of advantage Wycombe, as the leaders won whilst their two nearest rivals, AFC Portchester and Winchester City Flyers, both lost. Kidlington were seconds away from a vital three points in the North, but were eventually held to a draw. In the South, despite their defeat, Farnham are still massive favourites for the title, especially after Stoneham were defeated by Bournemouth Sports Reserves. Results - Sunday 5th April 2026 AFC Portchester 1-2 Southampton Portchy opened up well in this game but found themselves two down before the break after Liv Glover and Chloe Ball got on the score sheet. They did finally get a goal back through Becky Bath in the 82nd minute, but The Sirens held firm for a hard-earned three points. Portchester now need to win all of their remaining games and hope that Wycombe drop points in their final league fixture.

Bursledon 4-0 Shaftesbury The Dons went back above Varsity into 9th spot with this win. With five still to play, they could hope for a mid-table finish.

Fixtures - Thursday 9th April 2026 Farnborough v Denham United After Farnham lost their 100% league record, Denham continue to pursue their perfect league season at Farnborough on Thursday evening.

The Easy As HGV Stadium, GU14 8UD Fixtures - Sunday 12th April 2026 AFC Portchester v Reading Portchy's defeat last weekend has left them in the position of having to win all of their remaining games to have any chance of catching Wycombe.

Finally) Wicor Recreation Ground, PO16 9DP Badshot Lea v Winchester City Flyers Flyers won the reverse fixture 4-1 back in September and will need a similar result if they wish to maintain any kind of pressure on Wycombe. However, The Baggies are now fighting for their Premier-League lives, three points adrift at the bottom and running out of games. Westfield Lane, Wrecclesham GU10 4PF Woodley United v Southampton United's 2-1 defeat of Sholing last Sunday saw them move three points clear of Badshot Lea with a game in hand. With a visit to Wrecclesham still to come, they'll be looking to extend that gap before that 6-pointer. The Sirens put a big dent in Portchester's title aspirations last Sunday, winning 2-1 at the OnSite Group Stadium. They won the reverse fixture 4-2 in January, coming from behind twice to earn the points. UofR Bulmershe Pavilion, RG5 3HE Larkspur Rovers v Farnborough Rovers are still hanging on to second spot but with Penn only a point back with three in hand, they need to continue winning if they won't to hold on. Farnborough will also be looking to finish as high as possible. Depending on their result on Thursday evening, they could even still have a mathematical chance of top spot, albeit it very slim. The reverse fixture, just 2 weeks back, ended in a 1-1 draw. Lord Halsbury Playing Field, UB5 5FE Slough Town v Chesham United Development League position and local pride to play for in this one. Three points currently separate 5th placed Chesham from their 7th placed hosts. They drew 1-1 at Chiltern Hills in September. Slough levelled the game with 99th minute Megan Duffy goal. Arbour Park, SL2 5AY Tilehurst Panthers v Penn & Tylers Green If Denham win on Thursday evening, anything less than a victory for Penn in this game would mean that United would be crowned champions.

They won the reverse fixture 5-3 thanks largely to a Tara Woodward hat-trick. The Rivermoor, Scours Lane, Reading, RG30 6AY  AFC Varsity v Wimborne Town Although Farnham showed they were beatable last weekend, they are still looking very likely to win the league. Wimborne are one of the chasing pack who could still finish second and are only three points off that position now. Varsity are still second from bottom, but are safe from the drop. Hatches Farm Sports Ground, SO51 6EA Havant & Waterlooville v AFC Stoneham Second versus third, with the teams level on points and only a two goal difference giving Havant the edge. They have, however, played one game fewer. Both are six points adrift of Farnham, so only a win will do for either team. The Hawks still have to play Farnham, so they'll want to stay in touch to possibly set up a shootout. Stoneham won the reverse fixture 4-1 back in November. Westleigh Park, PO9 5TH Shaftesbury v Farnham Town Bottom versus top and these two have not yet met this season after their previous fixture was postponed. A win for Farnham would effectively put Stoneham out of the title race, leaving Havant & Waterlooville as the only challengers. To put the scale of Shaftesbury's task in perspective, three Farnham players have scored more goals individually than Shaftesbury have managed in total this season.

Still in pursuit of the perfect league campaign, Denham also have a chance to make a cup final.

The Den, Oxford Road, Denham, UB9 4DW Sholing v Oxford City City, last season's beaten finalists, look to give themselves another pop at the cup. First of all they'll need to get past a Sholing side who they have already met twice in the league. Both games ended in home wins, 3-2 to Sholing on the opening day and 3-1 to City in December. Recent form is fairly similar with both sides having won two of their last six. However, Oxford had a good victory over Winchester on Sunday, whereas Sholing lost to Woodley.
