Unsurprisingly given the weather on Saturday, only half of the games beat the weather on this first weekend back after Christmas. Both Milton v Kidlington and Penn v Caversham fell foul to the downpours. Luckily for those of us who were keen to get back to watching football, both Carterton v Woodley and Crendon v Eversley survived.
Carterton 0-9 Woodley United
Woodley were clinical and relentless in their pursuit of goals as they put Carterton to the sword. Four goals for Mollie Haines, including one in the first 40 seconds, and a hat-trick within the first 23 minutes. Top scorer May Hamblin added to her tally and there were also goals for Sarah Lawrence and Charley Evans plus first goals of the season for captain Ellen Surtees and Holly Wilkins. A full match report can be found on the BotP site - Call 999, Woodley Are On Fire as well as on the Reading Today site. You can also view the action, perfectly captured by Oakmist Photography.
Long Crendon 3-3 Eversley & California
The draw specialists were at it again. This result makes it five draws from eight games for Long Crendon, who are still unbeaten in the league since the first game of the season. Goals from Emma Leith, Amber Catell and Michelle Bailey for the Greens. Joanne Harfield, Mollie Tzanetis and the obligatory Rebekah Pantony strike gave Eversley a great point. They still have not lost a game in which Rebekah Pantony has scored.
Great to see that Eversley now have a Twitter account for their ladies team - @eversley_ladies

Sunday's Fixtures. All 14:00 ko
Carterton v Milton United
Carterton need to pick themselves up and get ready for another difficult task as they welcome league leaders Milton United to the Pavilion. They met back in October at the Heights with Milton running out 7-1 winners. Mollie Dyer (4), Charlotte Comley, Natalie Evans and Georgia Winger on target for United. Zoe Pugh got a consolation for the visitors.

Caversham United v Eversley & California
A first league meeting between these sides this season. However, they did meet at Mapeldurham in the FA Cup in October with The Boars gaining revenge for losing to the Goats at the same stage last season. Joanne Harfield put Eversley one up in the first minute and, despite Sumayah Zayadi getting an equaliser, Rebekah Pantony and Lilly-May Varney completed a fine 3-1 win for the visitors.

Kidlington v Penn & Tylers Green
Both sides will be looking to get their seasons back on track. Kidlington have not scored in their last three games in all competitions and Penn have lost their last two in all competitions, including a damaging defeat to Woodley in the league. They met back in October when goals from Sasha Smith for Penn and Courtney Sumner for Kidlington, saw the sides fight out a 1-1 draw.

Woodley United v Long Crendon
It's now five league wins on the bounce, 23 scored and zero conceded for Woodley, who continued the new year as they left off 2022. However, the last team to take a point and score against them in the league was Long Crendon back on October 30th. Two from Michelle Bailey looked as if they were going to be good enough for Long Crendon to take the points but Rebecca Gooch, who had scored in the first half, popped up in the 92nd minute to snatch a draw for Woodley.
