Just two points cover the top three in Division One North but Royal Wootton Bassett Town will be in the driving seat going into the last day following their hard earned 3-2 victory over Bath City. After Emma Vilday had put Bath ahead, an own goal levelled matters and Mia Mugford then put Bassett in front for the first time. Hannah Gulliver made it three but an own goal then reduced the arrears and Bath almost snatched a point late on when a 25-yard strike from Maddy Brown came back off the bar. Bassett's two other title rivals met each other with Corsham Town hosting Bitton who took a first half lead through Layla Soppelsa. They held on until injury time when Shannon Redhouse earned Corsham a share of the spoils in a 1-1 draw which neither team would have wanted. Bitton returned to action on Thursday evening with Hayley Honeywell, Tia Mahadevan, Layla Soppelsa and Bella Tweddle giving them a 4-0 victory over AFC Brislington and this means that Bassett have a lead of two points over Bitton and Corsham ahead of the final game.
