There's a possibility that all three division titles could be settled by the end of this coming weekend. If Wycombe win at AFC Portchester they will be Premier League champions. If Farnham beat Bournemouth Sports Reserves, they will be champions in the South. In the North it could all be settled on Thursday evening when Penn & Tylers Green face Denham United. Anything less than a Penn win will see United take the title. Results - Thursday April 9th 2026 Farnborough 0-3 Denham United Goalless at the break, Denham took control in the second half, even after losing Lauren Cox to the sin-bin. Chelsea-Rose Keary opened the scoring. Back on the pitch, Lauren Cox them doubled the advantage before Daisy Baranowski sealed the points. That makes it 16 from 16 for Denham now. Four more games to compete the perfect league season. Results - Sunday 12th April 2026 AFC Portchester 1-1 Reading In a game that saw plenty of chances at both ends, both goals came within a two minute spell midway through the first half. Georgia Hayes put the visitors ahead after 21 minutes, but a penalty for handball was put away by Becky Bath two minutes later. The result means that Portchester must beat Wycombe at home on Saturday to maintain their slim title hopes. Badshot Lea 0-5 Winchester City Flyers Flyers maintained second place and the slimmest of title hopes with a resounding win at The Baggies. The returning Shayne Prasad opened the scoring after 12 minutes. Somewhat inevitably Chelsie Hay added two more goal to her impressive tally. Sian Wylie and a last minute Annie Northwood goal completed the scoring. Check out Emma Pearmine's post-match thoughts. Woodley United 0-1 Southampton A 50th minute Julia Pietrzyk goal, on her first start for the Sirens, capped off a POTM performance. Southampton maintain their hold on third place, although some of the teams below them do have games in hand. Woodley stay three points above the drop zone and it's increasingly looking like the game at Badshot Lea on May 10th will be a relegation shootout. Larkspur Rovers 2-1 Farnborough Two goals in six second half minutes sealed the points for Larkspur, keeping them in second spot. Top scorer Savana Fearon got their first after 65 minutes with Calleigh Wright adding a second in the 71st minute. Slough Town 1-4 Chesham United Development Amber Saunders gave Slough an early lead, but Wede Akpata levelled just before half-time. Bo Edwards, five minutes past the hour had Chesham 2-1 in front. However, the game was not made completely safe until Oana Filip scored in the 89th minute and Bo Edwards added a fourth two minutes into added time. Tilehurst Panthers 1-7 Penn & Tylers Green Tara Woodward scored five of Penn's seven goals at the weekend making it 29 for the season. Molly Woods and captain Rachael Harnby added the other two goals. Penn remain a point behind Larkspur with three games in hand on Rovers going into Thursday's massive clash with Denham.  AFC Varsity 2-2 Wimborne Town Goals from Lucy Roberts and Sheree Bell-Jack, her 12th of a productive season, gave Wimborne a point in their penultimate game of the season. Havant & Waterlooville 2-2 AFC Stoneham A draw in this game was the perfect result for leaders Farnham, who now just need to win next weekend for the title. Emma-Jane May hit her thirteenth of the season, from the spot with Evie Griffiths also scoring foe The Hawks. Shaftesbury 0-9 Farnham Town Farnham responded to losing their 100% record with a resounding nine-goal haul at Shaftesbury. Top scorer Iesha Swaby led the way, notching four more goals including a 14-minute first half hattrick. Echo Barrett, Francesca Thornton and Lilly-May Varney were also on the score sheet. Emilie Miller grabbed her first goal for the club, from the spot and then manager Anya Kinnane subbed herself on and added the ninth a minute from time.

Denham United 1-1 (4-2p) Bournemouth Sports Reserves Emma Whall put Bournemouth one up after just 8 minutes. However, a swift response from United saw Brogan Moore level the scores. Both teams created some chances in the second period, but were unable to break the deadlock. Denham goalkeeper Zara Butt made two saves from the spot to help United thorough to face Oxford City in the final. Sholing 2-6 Oxford City City progressed to the Chairman's Cup Final for the second consecutive season with a comprehensive victory at Sholing, despite goals from Sophie Lee and Siena Millen for the Boatwomen. Emily Harris bagged another two for Oxford, backed up by strikes from Grace Craven, Yasmin Edwards, Willie Walecki and Ellie White. Fixtures - Wednesday 15th April 2026SDFA AFC Varsity v Bursledon Whilst neither Varsity or The Dons have had the league season they would have liked, they are both safe from the drop and can focus on this SDFA Cup encounter. Both league encounters have ended in home wins, 2-1 for Varsity and 6-0 for Bursledon. Romsey Town FC, SO51 8GJ CCLC AFC Portchester v Eastbourne Borough A small matter of a Combined Counties of a Quarter-Final to warm Portchy up for the game of the season on Sunday. Eastbourne currently top Division 1 South of the London & South East Regional League and have yet to be beaten in the league. A 5-0 win at Hastings United got them through to this stage. Wicor Recreation Ground, PO16 9DP Fixtures - Thursday 16th April 2026 Penn & Tylers Green v Denham United Denham make the short trip up to Penn to take on the only tea that can still pip them to the title. A point will do for United but, of course, they'll want to win the game and preserve their 100% record. Penn lost the reverse fixture 3-2 but came from behind twice before eventually going down to a Liana Horwood penalty. No doubt that this is going to be a cracker. French School Meadow, HP10 8LG  AFC Portchester v Wycombe Wanderers A massive game in the title race. A win for Wycombe seals the deal. A win for Portchester would leave it in Portchy's hands, and would also allow some hope for Winchester, depending upon their result at Sholing. Portchester won at Wycombe in mid-March at Adams Park and remain the only team to have beaten Wycombe in the league on their own patch. Wicor Recreation Ground, PO16 9DP Badshot Lea v Oxford City Bottom side Badshot Lea are rapidly running out of games in which to find the points they need to escape the drop zone. They go into this match three points adrift of Woodley but with a significantly worse goal difference. City reached their second consecutive Chairman's Cup Final on Sunday, and go into this game full of confidence, unbeaten in their last four. They also won the reverse fixture 7-3 back in November. Westfield Lane, Wrecclesham GU10 4PF Fleet Town v Beaconsfield Town It's only been a couple of weeks since the reverse fixture to this encounter. That was an entertaining and ultimately close game, ending in a 4-3 win for The Rams, who led 4-1 at the break and held on after a fine second half effort from Fleet. Although there's nothing hanging on the result of this game, it promises to be far from an end of season dead-rubber encounter. Crookham Road, GU51 5FA Reading v Woodley United A local derby, even though Reading currently play in Slough. The reverse fixture was handed to The Royals as an away win. However, Woodley won't be handing the points over too easily in this one. They need another win, at least, to secure their Premier League status. Reading, with five games left, will still have ambitions of a top three finish. Arbour Park, SL2 5AY Sholing v Winchester City Flyers Flyers need to win this game and hope that Portchester do them a favour by beating Wycombe. That would leave them with an outside chance of overhauling the leaders in their remining two games. The reverse fixture ended 4-0 to Winchester, who were three up by half time. Sholing are still not mathematically safe, but it would take a minor miracle for both Woodley and Badshot Lea to catch them now. The Mortgage Decisions Stadium, SO19 9PW Abingdon United Development v Kidlington Youth Kidlington remain two points adrift of Ascot at the bottom, although they do have a game in hand. Abingdon won the reverse fixture 2-1 and still have an outside chance of finishing second. Kidlington are yet to pick up a point on their travels. The Northcourt, OX14 1PL Ascot United Reserves v Farnborough With six games remaining, Farnborough can still make a dent in the top three should they win them all. Ascot, meanwhile, are only two points above the drop zone and will be looking to get a few more points on the board before the relegation six-pointer with Kidlington. Farnborough won the reverse game 2-1 after coming from a goal down and winning it in the 94th minute. The Racecourse Ground, SL5 7LJ Penn & Tylers Green v Oxford City Development If Penn win on Thursday, they will still be in with a shout of the title in this game. If they have lost or drawn, then they are just playing for second spot. This is the first meeting with City, who they also play on the first Sunday of May. City, for their part, are not mathematically clear of danger, but have a seven point gap over bottom side Kidlington, albeit having played four more games. French School Meadow, HP10 8LG Tilehurst Panthers v Larkspur Rovers Rovers are hanging on to second spot at the moment, a point ahead of Penn who have three games in hand. Whatever happens in the remaining two games, it's fair to say it's been a good season for Larkspur. Tilehurst are safe from the drop and, with five to play, could yet make an impression on the top half. They'll want to put right the 3-1 defeat suffered at Larkspur. The Rivermoor, Scours Lane, Reading, RG30 6AY  AFC Varsity v Guernsey
Guernsey will be looking to avenge the 4-1 defeat inflicted on the by Varsity when they visited the island in March. Neither side has anything more than personal pride to pay for, although both have the opportunity to improve their league position. This will be the Green Lionesses last game of the season. Varsity will have one more to play. Romsey Town FC, SO51 8GJ Andover New Street v AFC Stoneham After ending Farnham's 100% record, New Street are still able to catch the leaders, in theory. However, in reality they'll be more focussed on overhauling Stoneham and Havant to take the runners-up spot. Stoneham are currently third, level on points with The Hawks, who have played a game fewer. The Purps took the reverse fixture 3-0 back in November. Foxcotte Park, SP11 0TA Bournemouth Sports Reserves v Farnham Town Farnham go into this game knowing that a victory will see them crowned champions. They also have the knowledge that they beat Sports 3-1 at The mem only a couple of weeks ago. However, the following week, Sports beat Stoneham at Chapel Gate and have not lost at home since early February. Chapel Gate, BH23 6BL Bursledon v Havant & Waterlooville The Hawks will be hoping that Bournemouth do them a favour on Sunday, allowing them to close the gap on Farnham with a win. They can still overhaul Farnham's points tally, but require Town to lose all of their remaining matches. The reverse fixture with The Dons was a thrilling 4-3 home win for Havant back in October. Priory Park, SO32 1SQ
