FA Women’s National League



Northern Premier Division


Yasmin Mosby was on target twice as leaders Rugby Borough ran out 5-1 winners over Boldmere St Michaels. The Mikes had actually taken a thirteenth minute lead through Natasha Bailey before Rugby hit back with Mosby's double, as well as further goals from Lily Greenslade, Nicola Potts and Mai Moncaster.


The result leaves Rugby with a three point lead from West Bromwich Albion, whose steady climb up the table continued with them taking second place by beating Loughborough Lightning 3-1 at the Alexander Stadium. A second half hat-trick from Monique Robinson handed Albion a fifth straight victory, whilst Lightning's consolation came from Isabelle Conway.


Stoke City now complete the top three following their 3-0 victory away to Liverpool Feds. Stoke were quickly out of the blocks as Delphi Cole and Olivia Edwards putting them two ahead inside the opening fifteen minutes, with Roisin Kivel adding the third goal after the break.


Despite a second half fightback, Huddersfield Town saw their unbeaten start come to an end when they went down 3-2 to Peterborough Utd. Ellie May, Lauren Wilshaw and Evie Driscoll-King all scored as the Posh Women raced into a three-goal lead during the first half. After the break, Laura Elford and Louise Biggins pulled goals back for Town but Peterborough held out for a second win in successive weeks which leaves them just below mid-table.


Derby County join Peterborough on nine points after they defeated Hull City 2-1 at Pride Park. Sian Gibrill-Keating did give Hull the lead midway through the first half but Georgia Stevens levelled for Derby with a 30-yard free kick and Ewes captain Emily Joyce completed the turnaround six minutes later when she headed in the winning goal.


Middlesbrough ended a run of four straight defeats when they shared a 1-1 draw with Norwich City, which was enough to take them off the bottom of the table on goal difference. The Canaries, who have climbed up to fifth, went in front through a Freya Symonds penalty, before an own goal sixteen minutes from time earned 'Boro a share of the spoils.


Southern Premier Division


Oxford Utd now head the table by six points after notching up their seventh straight victory, beating Swindon Town 1-0. Shaunna Jenkins scored the only goal of the game in the nineteenth minute as the U's maintained their perfect start.


Fulham meanwhile leapfrogged AFC Bournemouth into second place by beating them 2-1 in their meeting at the Bob Lucas Stadium. Sophie Gillies gave Fulham a sixth minute lead which was cancelled out ahead of half time by Clarabella Hall, but Gillies' second goal on the hour proved to be decisive for the Cottagers, who possess a game in hand on leaders Oxford.


Portsmouth stay in fourth place but lost a little ground on the top two as they drew for the second successive week. Pompey battled out a goalless draw with Hashtag Utd who edged a little closer towards mid-table with the point they gained.


AFC Wimbledon meanwhile kept up their good run of form by picking up their third win in four matches, 4-1 away to Exeter City. The bulk of the damage was inflicted in the opening quarter of the match as they scored three times, with Freda Ayisi and Ellie Dorey each netting twice overall, whilst Exeter's consolation came from Ellie Sara.


Lewes are up into the top half of the table after sweeping to a 5-2 victory against Real Bedford. Emma Jones, Ella Stephens, Ylenia Priest and Paul Howells all scored as the Rookettes raced into a four-goal lead in the first half and after Anele Komani and Ellie Head reduced the arrears for Real, Breon Grant crowned the win for the home side with a fifth goal late on.


Cheltenham Town chalked up their first league win of the season at the seventh attempt and are out of the bottom two following their 4-1 victory over Plymouth Argyle. Charlotte Salisbury-Williams' early strike for Cheltenham was cancelled out by Laura Curnock but Emily Owen put them in control of the game with goals either side of half time and Chloe Snook sealed the points on the hour.


Division One North


Six of the best from leaders Leeds Utd as they extended their winning run with a 2-0 success against Norton & Stockton Ancients. Both goals came in the first half, Amy Woodruff putting Leeds in front and Drew Greene scoring the second just after the half hour mark.


Leeds therefore remain two points ahead at the top from AFC Fylde, who were also 2-0 winners away to Blackburn Rovers. The Coasters went in front on the quarter hour through Ocean Flanagan, with Lauryn Wood wrapping up the points with the second, sixteen minutes from time.


Halifax FC Women remain close at hand in third as they registered a fifth win in a row, 4-1 against York City. Farah Crompton spearheaded the win for Halifax by hitting a hat-trick and an own goal completed the scoring, whilst the MinsterBelles' consolation came from Hope Knight.


Stockport County are starting to pick up some momentum and they have replaced Thornaby Women in fourth place after beating them 3-0. Megan Parker gave County an eleventh minute lead which was doubled on the half hour by Ellie Fletcher, before Imogen Porteous-Williams rounded off the scoring midway through the second half.


Durham Cestria picked up their second league win of the season with a 5-2 success away to Chorley. Ellie Atkinson and Lleucu Mathias both bagged doubles for the Wildcats and Francesca Ward added their other goal, whilst the Magpies' replies came from Aimee Hodgson and Olivia Ellinson.


Chester-le-Street Town meanwhile ran out 5-1 winners over Bradford City to join them on six points. Georgia Gibson and Laura Hockaday each netted twice and Anna Cowie was also on target to help the Cestrians to a second win in three matches, whilst Emily Gill replied for Bradford.


Division One Midlands


The top of the table clash went the way of leaders Leafield Athletic, who have gone three points ahead at the top following their 1-0 win over Barnsley Women. Charlie Stanford supplied the only goal of the game just ahead of half time, to earn Leafield a fifth win in six matches.


Defeat for Barnsley means they have been replaced in second place by Sporting Khalsa, who were 3-0 winners away to Sutton Coldfield Town. Eva Cassidy opened the scoring for Khalsa in first half injury time, before a double after the break by Ruby Millington wrapped up the points.


Notts County are only four points off the pace in fourth place following their 3-2 success against Wythenshawe. Shoniqua Barnes netted a goal in each half and Emily Brett was also on target for County, with Olivia Dixon and Rachael Dunlop replying.


Chesterfield have gone level on points with Worcester City in mid-table after winning their meeting 1-0 at the Sixways Stadium. Imogen Fowler scored the only goal of the game on the half hour to give the Spireites their third win of the campaign.


A three-goal second half blast steered Kidderminster Harriers to a 4-1 victory over Northampton Town. Talia-Jay Warren did give Northampton a first half lead but Beth Grady equalised on the stroke of half time and after the break, Olivia Mitcham bagged a brace and Chelsea Tague added the other goal as Harriers carried off the three points.


Lye Town are finding their feet at the higher level and won for the second league match in a row when scoring six times without reply past Sheffield FC. Natasha Baptiste, with a double, and Annie Highway scored as Lye raced into a three-goal lead during the first half, with Octavia Ullah adding a fourth on the half hour. Baptiste completed her hat-trick from the penalty spot two minutes after the restart and Sian Johnson rounded off the scoring late on.


Division One South East


Niamh Cashin led the scoring with a hat-trick as London Bees took a lead of two points at the top of the table with an 8-1 victory over Billericay Town. Grace Stanley weighed in with a brace and there was one apiece from Che Thomas and Sandra Martin with an own goal completing the tally, the visitors' consolation coming from Nia Evans.


Actonians are back up into second place following their 1-0 success away to Luton Town. Steph McCaffrey netted the only goal of the game for the As, twenty minutes from time.


The result takes Actonians back above Queen's Park Rangers, who started the day in second but were held to a 1-1 draw by Stevenage Women. Sarah Wiltshire gave Stevenage an early lead, which they held onto until five minutes from time, when Shannon Albuery salvaged a point for Rangers.


Saltdean Utd moved up into fifth place, their highest position of the season so far, after they defeated Cambridge Utd 4-1. Danielle Lane and Georgia Bridges put Saltdean two ahead at half time, with Georgia Tibble adding a third after the break. Mollie Coupar pulled one back for the U's but Saltdean were to have the final say, with Emily Linscer rounding off the scoring in injury time.


The spoils were shared at Dartford where the home side and Chatham Town battled out a goalless draw. The result was perhaps an unsurprising one due to Dartford drawing for the fourth time in six matches, whilst the Chats shared the points for the third time this season.


Dulwich Hamlet have moved up into a mid-table position, thanks to a 3-1 victory away to Milton Keynes Dons. Cruz Fagan netted a first half brace and Kizzanna Fergus put the seal on the win wih the third after the break, despite Lucy Webster replying for the Dons late on.


Division One South West


Bridgwater Utd have taken a strong grip on the title race, even at this early stage, after they defeated Moneyfields 4-2 in their top of the table clash. This did not tell the whole story of the match though, as the Moneys took a second minute lead through Amber Howden and Megan Fox added a second just before half time. After the break, Megan Jarvis quickly reduced the arrears and Beatriz Kretteos brought Bridgwater back on level terms on the hour. Jarvis then put her side ahead for the first time from the penalty spot and Aimee Kingdon wrapped up the win with four minutes remaining.


Moneyfields hold on to second place on goal difference from two teams, headed by Wycombe Wanderers after they scored six times without reply past Ascot Utd. Hattie Kettle, Megan Arnott and Abigail Hayes sent the Chairgirls into a three-goal lead going into the interval and in the second half, Jessica Watkins netted a brace and Molly Peters scored from the penalty spot to round off a good day for her side.


Bristol Rovers meanwhile made it three wins in a row with a 2-0 success away to Abingdon Utd. Ellie Preece opened the scoring for Rovers on the stroke of half time and Libby Davies, who has made a big impact with the team since her arrival, got on the scoresheet again with the second goal, twelve minutes from time.


A win would have taken Gwalia Utd into second place but they were left frustrated as a second half fightback from improving Keynsham Town earned them a 2-2 draw. Gwalia looked to be on course for their fourth victory of the season when Daisy Ackerman fired them ahead and Esme Kilburn-Thompson added a second in first half injury time, but after the break, Abi Todd gave Keynsham renewed hope when she pulled a goal back and captain Mia Mugford netted a penalty to earn her side a valuable point.


Torquay Utd meanwhile returned to winning ways with a 3-0 success away to Bournemouth Sports. Beth Everson and Katelyn Bell put the Gulls two up inside the opening eleven minutes and they crowned the win in injury time when Sarah Stacey netted the third.


Marine Academy Plymouth were moments away from their second league win of the season but were foiled by an injury time reply in their 1-1 draw against Maidenhead Utd. Sam Drewery gave MAP the lead in the eleventh minute and they remained in front until deep into injury time, when Izzy Stockton struck to earn Maidenhead a share of the spoils.
