Only two games in D1N this weekend, both Champions Woodley United and runners-up Milton United ran up big scores. Woodley ended their season by scoring five at Kidlington. Milton, still with one game to go, put six past Eversley & California.
Kidlington 0-5 Woodley United
Woodley signed off their league season in some style by putting five unanswered goals past Kidlington at Exeter Park. A Lucy Routledge brace and a first goal of the season for Mollie Steadman goal put United three up at the break. May Hamblin added a fourth before Steadman grabbed her second goal to complete the scoring.

Milton United 6-1 Eversley & California
They may have just run out of steam when it came to the the league title but there was no let-off from Milton as they put Eversley to the sword on Sunday. Sarah Saunders bagged a hat-trick with Mollie Dyer, Charlotte Comley and Georgia Winger adding to the Boar's woes, which were compounded with the news that top scorer Rebekah Pantony suffered a fractured collarbone during the game. Best wishes to Rebekah.
Comley and Dyer are now just one and two goals respectively behind May Hamblin in the race for the top scorer spot. This could make next Sunday's final game at Long Crendon interesting.
Three games this weekend, all 14:00 ko.
