No live SoReg games for me this past weekend, although I did get to see the England v USA international at Wembley, a game that made me appreciate the Southern Region League even more. England's display, especially in the first half, was sleep inducing. My daughter's team also lost in Saturday morning, making it a pretty bad weekend for football all round. The remnants of the recent bad weather caused a few games to be postponed but, on the pitch, the top two in the Premier League both won. In the North, Beaconsfield didn't play, allowing Ascot the chance to take over at the top. Caversham kept their first clean sheet of the season to move off the bottom. In the South Fleet continued their 100% record, but had to survive a second-half renaissance from Abbey Rangers.

COMBINED COUNTIES CUP
Penn & Tylers Green 1-2 Beaconsfield
Nicole Jacobs saw red for Penn as Beaconsfield continued their great season by knocking their local rivals out of the Combined Counties Cup in a feisty Thursday evening encounter. Rachel Harnby was on the mark for the home side, but goals from Charlotte Hill and Lucy Casey were enough to see The Rams through. Visiting keeper Lisa Phillips earned a PotM for her contribution and Rams reserve keeper Audrey Wakefield finished the game playing up front for the visitors in a very eventful second-half.

Oxford City 4-2 Sholing
The Hoops kept up the pressure on Ascot at the top of the league with a solid 4-2 defeat of Sholing. Ellie White led the way with a hat-trick, whilst Isobel Bradley chimed in with her fifth of the season. Sholing's goals, both in the final 10 minutes, came from Emily Serridge and a Katie Shorter penalty. The visitors were hampered in their quest to get back into the game by being reduced to 10 players through sin-bins twice in the game.
The result was a reverse from the League Cup game between the sides a month ago, when the Boatwomen progressed with a 4-2 win.
Reading 0-3 Ascot United
Unbeaten Ascot made it seven wins from eight as they continued to lead the way at the top of the table. Despite being on top for much of the game, they required a couple of Reading own goals to help them on their way. In between, Leah Littlechild scored her tenth of the season. You can read the match report, courtesy of Neal Jeffs on the Ascot United web site. You can also check out a few photos of the game from Sophie Boycott.
Wycombe Wanderers 3-0 Selsey
The Chairgirls made it four straight league victors, with a an aggregate score of 16-1, as they brushed aside Selsey at Burnham. Kayla Potter scored twice for Wycombe, her 12th and 13th of the season. Jessica Watkins added her eleventh for the other goal. Wanderers now have three players in double figures for the season.

Ascot United Reserves 3-1 Abingdon United Development
With Beaconsfield not playing on Sunday, Ascot took their opportunity to go top by securing a convincing 3-1 win over Abingdon, reversing their opening day defeat at The Northcourt. Tiffany Skinner, Laura Moss and Katie Vince scored for the home side in the first half. Abingdon recovered slightly in the second period, Charlotte Bigmore getting a goal back for them.
Kidlington Youth 0-0 Caversham United
The Goats lifted themselves off the bottom of the table with a hard-earned point at Kidlington, securing their first clean sheet of the season in the process. Take a look at some match photos from Clive Parker Photography @7352Tommy - Link 1, Link 2, Link3
Milton United 0-2 Wycombe Wanderers u23
Wanderers secured their third consecutive league victory, all without conceding a goal. Elena Mitchell and Mia Parkin were on the mark for the visitors, who held out for another clean sheet, securing the points. A disappointment for Milton who had won their last league game, but just can't secure back to back league wins this season.
Penn & Tylers Green 6-0 Slough Town
Penn bounced back from Thursday's Combined Counties Cup defeat by thrashing Slough at French School Meadow, keeping a clean sheet into the bargain. Ellie Ludgate-Williams made it six for the season with her brace. Megan Brockwell, Tara Woodward, with her tenth goal in nine games, and Thursday night red card villain, Nicole Jacobs, were also on the scoresheet.

Abbey Rangers 2-3 Fleet Town
Fleet survived a second half comeback from Abbey Rangers to keep their 100% league record intact. Keira Simpson and Isabella O'Connor had given the visitors a 2-0 need within the first 20 minutes. However, Brooke Amelie John and Susie King both scored for Rangers after the break. Lily Martin scored the Town winner with three minutes remaining.
AFC Varsity P-P AFC Stoneham
Woking 3-0 Bournemouth Sports Reserves
The Cards won for just the second time in the league, avenging their 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth earlier in the season. Amy Richards put Woking in front before the quarter-hour mark, but they had to wait until the 69th minute before Trudy Bryan-Kerr's goal gave them some breathing space. Louise Curr added the icing to the cake three minutes into added time.

PREMIER LEAGUE
AFC Portchester v Woodley United
Only two points separate Woodley, in third, from fifth-placed Portchy. Portchester have suffered a few injuries of late and are still without central striker Millie Bradbury. Woodley have the league's leading scorer in their ranks. Sarah Lawrence already has 14 goals in her 10 appearances this season. This will be their first league meeting.
Venue: AFC Portchester Womens
Badshot Lea v Oxford City
The Baggies have not played since November 17th, a 3-2 defeat at home to Woodley. I theink it's fair to say that the new look Badshot Lea squad hasn't fully gelled yet, but recent matches have started to show signs of changing form. However, City have won their last two league games, and are still standing firm alongside Ascot at the top. The reverse fixture, in October, ended in a 6-1 defeat for the Baggies.

DIVISION ONE NORTH
Caversham United v Chesham United Development
A proper relegation six-pointer as The Goats welcome bottom side Chesham to The Rec. The sides have been trading bottom spot recently. Caversham lifted themselves off the bottom on Sunday with a battling 0-0 draw at Kidlington. The reverse fixture was conceded by Chesham and is still Caversham's only league win.
Mapeldurham Recreation Ground, Upper Woodcote Road, Mapledurham, Reading RG4 7LD
Wycombe Wanderers u23 v Ascot United Reserves
Wycombe are on a great run of four wins on the bounce. However, welcoming the new league-leaders to town will be a tough test to that run. Ascot have only lost on the road once this season, the opening day defeat at Abingdon. Wycombe have lost two of their last three home league games. The reverse fixture ended 5-3 to Ascot thanks largely to a Sarah Jones hat-trick.

DIVISION ONE SOUTH
AFC Stoneham v Wimborne Town
Wimborne's unbeaten away record will face its toughest test yet as they travel to Stoneham Lane. With the league leaders in League Cup action, Stoneham know that a big win could take them back to the summit. However, a Town victory would lift them to within four points of their hosts, with a game in hand. The reverse fixture ended in a 4-0 win for Stoneham, Mia House scoring two of the goals.
Stoneham Lane, Eastleigh SO16 2PA
AFC Varsity v QK Southampton
Six of Varsity's seven pints have come on their travels. They'll no doubt fancy their chances of a first home win against a QK side who have yet to register a league point. Neither side has played since mid-November, so both should be equally fresh, or rusty, depending on how you look at it. The reverse fixture in October was a close call, Varsity edging it 1-0 with a second-half goal from Jennifer Parr.
Hatches Farm Sports Ground, Romsey Road, West Wellow, Romsey SO51 6EA
Bournemouth Sports Reserves v Abbey Rangers
The reverse fixture came a t a time when Abbey were in disarray following the departure of their coaching team. It was awarded to Sports as an away walkover. Rangers have not won in the intervening period, but their last two games were only lost on the odd goal, and their second half comeback against the league leaders showed that there is plenty of fight in the team. Sports are still in fifth spot despite a poor run of recent form which included a League Cup home defeat to Milton United.
Chapel Gate, Nr Hurn Airport, East Parley, Hampshire BH23 6BL.
Bursledon v Havant & Waterlooville
If this game is half as entertaining as the reverse fixture, the Dons locals could be in for a real treat. The early season clash ended 4-4. It was 2-2 at the break and 4-3 to Bursledon going into added time. A Sophie Lee strike in the 91st minute claimed a pint for The Hawks.
Toynbee School, Bodycoats Road, Chandler's Ford, Eastleigh SO53 2PL

League Cup
Ascot United v Slough Town
Top of the Premier League against mid-table in Division One North. On paper this looks like a home banker, but you just never know in cup football. Ascot have a 100% home record in the league, but have already gone out of the County Cup at home to lower league opposition, a 1-0 defeat to Newport Pagnell. Slough go to this stage on the back of a 3-1 win at QK Southampton, Ascot beat Woodley 4-1 in the previous round.
Racecourse Ground, Winkfield Road, Ascot, Berkshire SL5 7LJ
Fleet Town v Milton United
Milton's 6-3 win at Bournemouth Sports Reserves in the previous round has earned them another clash against a Division One South team. Fleet, however, may pose a stiffer test. They beat Premier League Badshot Lea in the previous round and are currently top of their league.
Crookham Road, Fleet GU51 5FA
Penn & Tylers Green v Wycombe Wanderers
After beating Division One South side Bursledon in the previous round, Penn & Tylers Green now face the prospect of a local derby against their Premier League neighbours, Wycombe. The Chairgirls put 11 past AFC Varsity in the last round, and have scored seven more without reply in their last two league matches. The Penn defence will have their hands full, but they are no slouches in front of goal themselves, having put away 23 in their 6 league outings this season.
French School Meadow, Elm Road, Penn HP10 8LG
Selsey v Beaconsfield Town
Selsey put out Abbey Rangers in the previous round but, despite being a league above their visitors, probably go into this game as slight underdogs. The Rams are on a roll this season and, although they lost top spot through inactivity on Sunday, are unbeaten in the league. They got to this stage by slamming in a dozen goals against Caversham in the last round.
Seal Bay Resort Stadium, PO20 0QG
Sholing v Reading
An all Premier League tie but, due to a postponement, the teams have not yet met this season. Sholing have scored or conceded four in their last three games in all competitions, one of which was the 4-2 win at Oxford City in the previous round. Reading are still awaiting their first league point of the season, but have fared well in cups, especially when going into a penalty shootout. They progressed to this stage with a shootout win against Tilehurst in the last round. BotP was there to see it- Panthers Pay Penalty To Royals
Oasis Academy Mayfield, Ashley Crescent, Southampton SO19 9NA
Woking v Winchester City Flyers
The Cards had a morale-boosting 3-0 win on Sunday, just in time for them to face up to the challenge of Premier League Winchester. Woking defeated Kidlington in the previous round, winning 4-0 at Woking College, watched by The Wandering Tractor - House of Cards (https://wanderingtractor.uk/house-of-cards/). Flyers got here by means of a bye in Round One.
