It was FA Cup First Round week on Sunday and six Southern Region teams were in there fighting. We knew there was a guarantee of one team getting through because Winchester had been drawn at home to Porchester. That proved to be fortunate after the four other teams were all beaten. So, following their 4-1 win, Portchester are the sole league representatives in Round Two, where they will face south coast rivals and National league Division One South-West side, AFC Bournemouth.
League-wise, Oxford City missed out on the chance to go top of the Premier, losing 4-1 at Wycombe. Beaconsfield came from behind to maintain their unbeaten start and increase their lead at the top of Division One North. Meanwhile, in the South, Fleet remain the only team with a 100% record but remain second after Havant & Waterlooville edged nine-goal thriller at home to Bournemouth Sports Reserves.

Selsey 2-2 Badshot Lea
Neither team had picked up a league point since sharing a 2-2 draw on the opening day of the season. Clearly the sides are very closely matched because that was again the case on Sunday. The Baggies got off to a great start when Emma Gregory-Barnes gave them an 8th minute lead. Isabelle Wheatley levelled things up ten minutes later and, a few minutes before the break, Nancy Sanderson gave the Seals the lead. Selsey held on until the 80th minute when Daniella Mitchell popped up to earn a point for Badshot Lea.
Woodley United 3-0 Sholing
After three defeats in all competitions, Woodley got back to winning ways at Bulmershe Pavilion. It took some time for the hoe side to break down a determined Sholing outfit. Sholing keeper Sarah Kelsall saved a 25th minute Chloe Melton spot-kick before, in the 36th minute, Sarah Lawrence put the hosts in front. Just past the break it was Lawrence on the mark again, doubling the lead for United. The scoring was rounded off by a scorcher from Chloe Melton in the 59th minute.

Wycombe Wanderers 4-1 Oxford City
The Hoops missed out on the chance to go top of the table after losing for just the second time in the league. Kayla Potter scored goal number eight of the season to put The Chairgirls in front. This was cancelled out just before the break by Ellie White. On the stroke of the hour Danielle Puddlefoot regained Wycombe's advantage from the spot. Five minutes later Kayla Potter got her second to give the home side breathing room. Jess Watkins completed the scoring in the 70th minute, liftin Wycombe above Sholing into fifth place.

Ascot United Reserves 1-2 Beaconsfield Town
It's still too early in the season to be talking about the title, but this game had the feeling of being a big pointer to the final destination of the trophy. Sarah Jones put Ascot ahead midway through the first half a lead they held until just before the hour mark. That's when the returning Freya Harris got the Rams back on level terms. Nine minutes later Dom Carrington added her fourth of the season to give the visitors the lead and, ultimately, a crucial three points. Beaconsfield now have an 8 point gap at the top of the table and are still unbeaten. Penn, in fourth, can draw level on points should they win all of their four in hand. Watch the match highlights courtesy of the Beaconsfield Town YouTube channel.
Chesham United Development 1-3 Kidlington Youth
Kidlington put the brakes on Chesham's recent mini-revival with their second away win on the bounce. Courtney Sumner and Keira Isaac both scored their fifth goals of the season. Emily Keal was also on the mark, grabbing her second of the campaign. Emma McNamee had scored to take the sides in all-square at the break.
Milton United 5-7 Abingdon United Development
It's not often that a team will score four goals in the first half of a game and go on to lose it, but that's exactly what happened to Milton on Sunday. Charlotte Bigmore gave the visitors a third minute lead only for Lily Black, April England and Mollie Dyer to put Milton 3-1 up. Beth Hawtin pulled one back just before the break, only for April England to make it 4-2 at half-time. Hawtin then scored again to make it 4-3 before Isobel Hughes levelled it on 55 minutes. Ten minutes later it was 4-5 thanks to Olivia Ward, only for a second from Mollie Dyer to square it at 5-5. Ward scored again with 10 minutes remaining to give the visitors a 6-5 advantage. An own goal two minutes from time concluded the scoring on a breathless afternoon of football.
Slough Town 0-3 Wycombe Wanderers u23
Wanderers leapfrogged their hosts after this convincing win on the road. Slough managed to keep Wycombe's top scorer, Shannon Read, off the score sheet but were undone by two goals from Meira Ashby and one from Elena Mitchell. You can see all of the goals on the Wycombe X feed
Tilehurst Panthers 1-1 Caversham United
Caversham's new look squad earned their first point of the season following a come-from-behind draw at local rivals Tilehurst. Panthers had taken the lead in the 31st minute through Kloe Peters. However, Caversham earned a 71st minute penalty which was duly converted by Caroline Charlton. Luckily for us all, @7352tommy (Clive Parker Photography) was on hand to capture some great photos of the action (Link 1, Link2, Link3)

Abbey Rangers 2-8 Wimborne Town
The Magpies maintained the pressure on the top three in the division with a commanding performance at The Moor. Jessica Wollington, Hannah Campbell and Sadie West all scored for the visitors in the first half. Just after the break Imogen Rowley added a fourth. Emily Nieman and Sheree Bell-Jack were also amongst the goals. Brooke Suddaby then added two inside the final three minutes to complete Town's eight goal haul. Isobel Saunders added her fourth and fifth of the season for Rangers.
AFC Varsity 1-6 Fleet Town
Fleet made it five wins in five league games as they jumped up to second spot. Amy Granger and Keira Simpson had put Town two goals to the good inside the first 15 minutes. Isabella Moffett scored the first of her hat-trick on 40 minutes, adding to that in the 47th and 82nd minutes. In between, Lily Martin was also on the mark for Fleet. Hear the post match views of Fleet manager Craig Hayman and three-goal Isabella Moffett.
Havant & Waterlooville 5-4 Bournemouth Sports Reserves
The Hawks came from two goal down twice in a game that had everything. Nine goals, including a hat-trick, plus a red card. Sophie Lee was the hat-trick hero for Havant, aided by a penalty from Emma-Jane May and a late winner from Laurie Potvin. Isobel Wheatley had given Sports the lead on 19 minutes, but her game was to take a swing for the worse in the second half, picking up two yellows in five minutes. Anastasia Hnatiw had the visitors two ahead after 24 minutes. Lucia White on the stroke of half-time and Charlotte Kerr on 70 minutes, also scored for Sports, before The Hawks staged their second comeback to take the points.
QK Southampton 0-3 Woking
The Cards finally chalked up their first league win of the season at the eighth attempt, consigning QK to their eight straight defeat. Laura Mitchell gave Woking an early lead in the 5th minute, but they were made to wait until midway through the second half before they could make the points. Gabriella Hobday doubled their advantage after 65 minutes, before Jasmina VanVooren made it completely safe six minutes later.

Aylesford 3-1 Reading
The home of (allegedly) Britain's oldest working sauna proved too hot for Reading as they went out of the FA Cup at the hands of London & South East Division One South side Aylesford. Kara Richardson put the home side in front three minutes before the half-hour mark. However, just six minutes later Reading were level thanks to a Jordanne Hoesli-Atkins penalty. It looked like the teams would go into the break level, but Rebecca Keyte restored Aylesford's lead a minute into added time. A second penalty, this time for Aylesford, converted by Alex Witham in the 75th minute, secured a famous victory and giant-killing. Aylesford now face a 2nd Round home tie with Worthing of the National League Division One South-West.
Brentford 4-2 Ascot United
The Bees pulled off something of a cupset as they put out SoReg Premier leaders Ascot United. Brentford have been in glorious goal-scoring form this season, and this continued on Sunday. The deadlock was broken in the 31st minute by a superb overhead kick from top-scorer Ashley Cheatley. The same player then doubled the advantage just before the break. When Chloe Logie made it 3-0 immediately after the restart, the game looked gone. However, Ascot hit back with two goals in two minutes, through Leah Robertson and Olivia Glover. The Yellas could not quite complete the comeback and, when they conceded a 70th minute penalty, Chloe Logie sealed progress for The Bees. You can read Neal Jeffs' account on the Ascot website as well as the Brentford match report and match highlights on their web site. Brentford's reward is a home tie with National League Division One South-East side, London Seaward.
Bursledon 0-4 Marine Academy Plymouth
South West Region Premier League outfit, Marine Academy made club history after ending brave Bursledon's FA Cup journey, progressing to Round Two for the first time. The damage to The Dons was done in the first half as the visitors stormed into a three goal lead. Two goals from Elizabeth Overton and one each from Abbie Woodward and Carmen Morison, sealed the victory for Marine, who will now face National League South-West side Bristol Rovers in Round Two.
Penn & Tylers Green 0-3 Queens Park Rangers
QPR took an early lead in this game through Courtnay Ward-Chambers in the 8th minute. However, Penn didn't cave in, and held the National League side for the next 33 minutes. A two goal burst just before the break finally put some serious daylight between the teams. Anna Maria Dzyadyk scored the first in the 41st minute and, as if that wasn't enough, Stevie Kennedy added a third on the stroke of half-time. Penn came out fighting in the second half, but were not able to get themselves back into the game, the two step difference between the sides proving to be a little too much for them. QPR will now face Saltdean United in the next round. You can read the QPR account of the match on their web site.
Winchester City Flyers 1-4 AFC Portchester
Portchester made club history by progressing to the Second round for the first time, although this game was nowhere near a s clear cut as the score suggests. The hosts took the lead very early on through Libby Wilkinson, but were pegged back just a few minutes later when Sam Jennings headed in. Gemma Hillier then put the visitors ahead with only just over a quarter-hour played. The game was still not completely over, even after Hillier made it 3-1 around the hour mark. However, when captain Eilidh Currie gave Portchy a three goal cushion, it looked a mountain too tall for City. They did manage few late attempts at goal, but ultimately the difference between the sides was in the final third. Portchester were clinical, Winchester didn't make the most of their chances. You can read the full BotP match blog here (Flying The Flag), or get an alternative view from Tim Shots ATFC (TimboATFC). You can also hear City manager Emma Pearmine's post-match thoughts. Portchester now face a tasty looking south coast derby against National League outfit AFC Bournemouth in Round Two.

FIXTURES - Sunday 10th November
DIVISION ONE SOUTH
AFC Stoneham v Havant & Waterlooville
There may only be one league game on Sunday, but it's a real cracker. The Hawks took over top spot last weekend, after edging out Bournemouth Sports in a nine-goal thriller. Former leaders Stoneham dropped to third after Fleet Town also won at the weekend. However, the Purps have a game in hand on Havant, meaning a win would put them back on top. Last season both clashes ended in away victories. Stoneham won 3-2 at Westleigh Park whilst The Hawks, through a Jodie Burchell goal, won 1-0 at Stoneham, a game that saw both Stoneham's Chloe Melton and Havant's Megan Gratton see red.

LEAGUE CUP
AFC Portchester v Wimborne Town
Two sides who gained promotion last season and are making quite a splash in their respective leagues this season. Portchy will still be on a high following their FA Cup triumph at the weekend, whilst Wimborne were 8-2 winners at Abbey Rangers. So, both sides come into the game in good form. Wimborne's 19 goals this season have been spread across eleven players, eight of which have one goal apiece.
Venue: AFC Portchester Womens
Ascot United v Woodley United
This will be the third meeting between these teams this season, with another league encounter yet to come. It's probably not the draw Woodley would have wanted, having already suffered two heavy defeats at The Racecourse Ground. On the opening day of the season they lost 11-0 to Ascot, then went on a run of five straight victories in all competitions before encountering the Yellas again in the FA Cup. They lost that game 8-2. Last season Ascot put Woodley out of this competition at the quarter-final stage before losing to eventual winners, Bournemouth Sports, in the semi-final.
Racecourse Ground, Winkfield Road, Ascot, Berkshire SL5 7LJ
Badshot Lea v Fleet Town
You couldn't make these cup draws up. After many Fleet players left for Badshot Lea in the Summer, these sides have already had one encounter this season, an 8-2 FA Cup win for Fleet, and now they find themselves thrown together again. They are having contrasting experiences in their respective leagues. The Baggies are yet to find a win, but did pick up their second point with a draw at Selsey on Sunday. Fleet, meanwhile, are yet to drop a point in Division One South.
Westfield Lane, Wrecclesham GU10 4PF
Beaconsfield Town v Caversham United
The Rams and The Goats butt heads in this encounter. Currently at opposite ends of Division One North. Beaconsfield are yet to taste defeat, Caversham are yet to taste victory. They have already met in the league at Mapeldurham Recreation Ground, where doubles from Lucy Casey and Sarah Davern helped Beaconsfield to a 6-0 victory.
Holloways Park, Windsor Road, Beaconsfield HP9 2SE
Bournemouth Sports Reserves v Milton United
South versus North. Milton had an awful start to the season, looked as if they had turned a corner, but were then beaten at home on Sunday in a topsy-turvy twelve goal thriller against Abingdon. Sports were also involved in a thriller, although there were only nine goals in their game. They eventually went down 5-4 to Havant & Waterlooville. So 21 goals shared in their last matches. It's going to be 0-0 isn't it?
Chapel Gate, Nr Hurn Airport, East Parley, Hampshire BH23 6BL.
Oxford City v Sholing
This all Premier League tie is a reverse of the opening league fixture. That one ended 1-1 thanks to goals from Catherine Browning for Sholing and Ellie Walecki for City. Both teams come into the game on the back of league defeat on the road last weekend. The Hoops will, no doubt, be glad to be back at the Raw Charging Stadium, where they have a 100% league record so far.
Marsh Lane, Marston, Oxford, Oxfordshire OX3 0NQ
Penn & Tylers Green v Bursledon
Both of these sides went out of the FA Cup to higher-ranked opposition at the weekend. Penn are currently unbeaten at home in the league, Bursledon are unbeaten on the road in the league. The cup defeat on Sunday ended Bursledon's run of five unbeaten in all competitions. However, Penn's defeat to QPR was their first reversal in any match this season, a total of nine games (if you count the home walkover in the FA Cup 2nd qualifier).
French School Meadow, Elm Road, Penn HP10 8LG
QK Southampton v Slough Town
A welcome break from a tough league campaign for QK. Slough's last four games in all competitions have alternated between winning and losing. They lost on Sunday, so they are due a victory this weekend. However QK, who really struggled in the opening few games, suffering some heavy defeats, have been slowing improving their results. They still have not managed to gain a point but the flow of goals conceded has certainly slowed a little. Wil this be the week they turn it around?
The Hive, Redbridge Lane, Southampton SO16 0XN
Selsey v Abbey Rangers
Two teams who will welcome the chance to get a win against their name. Selsey are yet to register a win inside 90 minutes, although they did edge past Leatherhead on penalties in a September FA Cup tie. The draw against Badshot Lea last Sunday was their second point of the season. Abbey have not won since the end of September when the beat QK Southampton 4-0. Having said that, they have only played twice in that time, losing both.
Seal Bay Resort Stadium, PO20 0QG
Tilehurst Panthers v Reading
Reading get another chance to play in Reading again, after their county cup clash with Caversham last month. Cup games have been something of a relief to Reading this season, as they try to rebuild their squad in the Premier League. Panthers, after a good start to the season, have failed to win in their last four in al competitions, but did take a point on Sunday at home to Caversham.
Venue: Tilehurst Panthers Women
Woking v Kidlington Youth
Kidlington had a good win at Abingdon on Sunday, their second successive away win in which they have scored three times in both. The Greens do score a lot of goals, but they also have a tendency to concede a few. Woking, who won for the first time at the weekend, are the opposite. They only average one goal per game in the league but, on the other hand, rarely concede too many.
Venue: Check with home team
Wycombe Wanderers v AFC Varsity
Premier League versus Division One South. Wycombe had a very good 4-1 win over Oxford City at the weekend, Varsity lost heavily at home to Fleet. However, one thing in favour of Varsity is that their away form is better than their home form. Six of their seven pints so far have come on the road. Wycombe have the second tightest defence in the Premier League, which may pose a problem for Varsity, who are second lowest scorers in their league.
18i78 Stadium, Wymers Wood Road, Burnham SL1 8JG
Two sides who gained promotion last season and are making quite a splash in their respective leagues this season. Portchy will still be on a high following their FA Cup triumph at the weekend, whilst Wimborne were 8-2 winners at Abbey Rangers. So, both sides come into the game in good form.

Oxford City v Sholing
This all Premier League tie is a reverse of the opening league fixture. That one ended 1-1 thanks to goals from Catherine Browning for Sholing and Ellie Walecki for City. Both teams come into the game on the back of league defeat on the road last weekend. The Hoops will, no doubt, be glad to be back at the Raw Charging Stadium, where they have a 100% league record so far.

Penn & Tylers Green v Bursledon
Both of these sides went out of the FA Cup to higher-ranked opposition at the weekend. Penn are currently unbeaten at home in the league, Bursledon are unbeaten on the road in the league. The cup defeat on Sunday ended Bursledon's run of five unbeaten in all competitions. However, Penn's defeat to QPR was their first reversal in any match this season, a total of nine games (if you count the home walkover in the FA Cup 2nd qualifier).

QK Southampton v Slough Town
A welcome break from a tough league campaign for QK. Slough's last four games in all competitions have alternated between winning and losing. They lost on Sunday, so they are due a victory this weekend. However QK, who really struggled in the opening few games, suffering some heavy defeats, have been slowing improving their results. They still have not managed to gain a point but the flow of goals conceded has certainly slowed a little. Wil this be the week they turn it around?

Selsey v Abbey Rangers
Two teams who will welcome the chance to get a win against their name. Selsey are yet to register a win inside 90 minutes, although they did edge past Leatherhead on penalties in a September FA Cup tie. The draw against Badshot Lea last Sunday was their second point of the season. Abbey have not won since the end of September when the beat QK Southampton 4-0. Having said that, they have only played twice in that time, losing both.

Tilehurst Panthers v Reading
Reading get another chance to play in Reading again, after their county cup clash with Caversham last month. Cup games have been something of a relief to Reading this season, as they try to rebuild their squad in the Premier League. Panthers, after a good start to the season, have failed to win in their last four in al competitions, but did take a point on Sunday at home to Caversham.
Venue: Tilehurst Panthers Women
Woking v Kidlington Youth
Kidlington had a good win at Abingdon on Sunday, their second successive away win in which they have scored three times in both. The Greens do score a lot of goals, but they also have a tendency to concede a few. Woking, who won for the first time at the weekend, are the opposite. They only average one goal per game in the league but, on the other hand, rarely concede too many.

Wycombe Wanderers v AFC Varsity
Premier League versus Division One South. Wycombe had a very good 4-1 win over Oxford City at the weekend, Varsity lost heavily at home to Fleet. However, one thing in favour of Varsity is that their away form is better than their home form. Six of their seven pints so far have come on the road. Wycombe have the second tightest defence in the Premier League, which may pose a problem for Varsity, who are second lowest scorers in their league.
