Both teams came into this one on the back of excellent opening day victories. Leah Littlechild had Ascot ahead after just four minutes. However, an Eilidh Currie goal sent the sides in level at half-time. Littlechild then put United back in from shortly after the restart. Olivia Glover, Leah Robertson and a late Kate Fox goal sealed an emphatic win for United. You can read the match report on the Ascot United website.
Oxford City 2-1 Winchester City Flyers
Kaitlyn Crouch set the Hoops on their way after just 3 minutes, a lead they held until half-time.

Two minutes later Ashleigh Harte doubled the advantage with a belter and, just before the break Eman Kassem struck their third to give them a big cushion at the break.

Sholing 3-0 Reading FC Community Trust
Three first half goals were enough for Sholing to take all three points. Phoebe Hudson put them ahead in the 7th minute, a lead that was doubled 11 minutes later by Kathryn Littleboy. Katie Shorter made it three two minutes into first-half added time. A depleted Reading side played with 10 players for some time in the second half, but can take some satisfaction in not conceding a fourth goal.
Woodley United 4-2 Badshot Lea
In what sounded like a cracking game, partially played in a deluge, United got their season back on track after the opening week defeat at Ascot. Lauren Devlin and Sarah Lawrence put the hosts 2-0 up at the break but The Baggies stormed back to equalise through Deanna Taylor and Dot Usher. Woodley secured the points with further goals from Hollie Barnfield and a second from Sarah Lawrence at the death. Wandering Tractor there to document all the action for us - Hold Back The Rain.

DIVISION ONE NORTH
Top of the League | Top Scorer |
Beth Hawtin's goal on the hour was enough to separate these two sides and keep Abingdon at the summit of the table. However, Abingdon also have goalkeeper Maisie Moore to thank for preserving the three points with a late penalty save.
Penn & Tylers Green 9-1 Chesham United Development
There was no quarter given by a rampant Penn side as they inflicted a second heavy defeat on Chesham's Development side. New recruit from Long Crendon, Tara Woodward, scored four, to make it five for the season already. Henna Hussain, last season's top scorer, was back with a hat-trick and Ellie Ludgate-Williams waded in with two.
Tilehurst Panthers 3-3 Beaconsfield Town
A real topsy-turvy battle between newly-promoted Tilehurst and The Rams. The sides shared early goals from Lydia Vettese for Panthers and Freya Harris for Beaconsfield. Then Rams new signing from Ascot, Nicole Brown, put them ahead. Thea Wright equalised just before the break before Georgia Hayes had Tilehurst in front ten minutes later. Nicole Brown grabbed her second five minutes before time to leave it all square.

Wycombe Wanderers u23 4-1 Kidlington Youth
Last season's divisional top scorer, Shannon Read, got her new season up and running by scoring all four goals as Wycombe's u23s brought Kidlington back down to earth. The Greens had been on a high following their FA Cup triumph last weekend, but even the customary Courtney Sumner strike, a penalty awarded for a foul on Keira Isaac, could not save them from defeat.
DIVISION ONE SOUTH
Top of the League | Top Scorer |
Stoneham's Mia House rattled in six of her sides seven goals on Sunday, including an amazing seven minute hat-trick just before half-time. Her second hat-trick took a little longer, being spread over twenty-two second half minutes. Lucy Bicknell then added a seventh with eight minutes remaining. Not the start that AFC Varsity were looking for but a trip to Stoneham Lane was always going to be a hard introduction.
Havant & Waterlooville 4-4 Bursledon
Last weekend's cup winner, Zoe Bache, was on target again for Bursledon this Sunday, hitting the net twice, with Izzy Pouncy also grabbing two goals for the league debutants. Emily Wernham, Tallulah Dixon, Emma-Jane May, and Sophie Lee in the 91st minute, were the scorers for The Hawks.

Wimborne Town 1-2 Bournemouth Sports Reserves
Emma Whall scored twice inside the first 22 minutes to give Sports a 2-0 lead. Hannah Campbell then saw red on the half hour for Town but, despite being a player light, they reduced the deficit in the 35th minute through Abigail Buck. The score remained the same throughout the second period. Sports were also down to 10 three minutes into added time when Lauren Smallwood was sent off.
Woking 1-1 Abbey Rangers
The Cards made it two draws from two games with this stalemate against Abbey Rangers. Bethany Anders gave the home side a half-time lead with her 34th minute strike. However, Poppy Trotter equalised 10 minutes after the break, and that's how it stayed.
