Results 27th April 2025
DIVISION ONE NORTH
It was all-square at the break in this one. Ammara Qureshi scoring for Penn and Farah Morris for Slough. However, a brace from substitute Ellie Ludgate-Williams gave Penn the points, guaranteeing them the runners-up spot with one game remaining.
DIVISION ONE SOUTH
Town got back to winning ways, setting up a big finish in next weekend's home tie with Bursledon. Fleet are a point adrift of Havant but with a worse goal difference, have to take all three points to secure the league title. A Brooke Suddaby goal for Town, eight minutes into the second half, couldn't deflate Fleet, who now look forward to the visit of Bursledon on Sunday.
QK Southampton v Burlsedon
A twenty minute Isobel Pouncy hat-trick sealed this one for The Dons. Goalless at the break, Pouncy pounced on the hour mark to put Bursledon one up. Five minutes later it was two and, with ten minutes remaining, the hat-trick was completed.
LEAGUE CUP FINAL
City took the lead through Libby Wilkinson seven minutes before the break. However, Ascot showed their champions credentials in the second half. Beth Lloyd equalised ten minutes in before two Kate Fox goals in two minutes, just on the hour, sealed a league and cup double for The Yellawomen. As always, Neal Jeffs was on hand to capture the action in his match report. Also, listen to Emma Pearmine's post match reaction.
OXFORDSHIRE FA CUP FINAL

FIXTURES Sunday 4th May 2025
PREMIER LEAGUE
Nothing but local pride at stake in this one. There's only 12 miles between grounds but, one is a PO post code, the other SO, so there's plenty of South Coast rivalry on show. Neither team can move up in the table, unless Portchy win by 20 goals. The reverse fixture saw two very early goals and one very late one. Gemma Hillier put Portchester 1-0 up after a minute only for Catherine Browning to immediately equalise. Eilidh Currie then hit the Portchy winner in the final minute.
On-Site Group Stadium, Cranleigh Road, Fareham, Hampshire PO16 9DP
DIVISION ONE NORTH
An end of season game with only league places at stake. Panthers trail Abingdon by two points, so could leapfrog their hosts with a win. United won 4-2 at Scours Lane back November, with Charlotte Bigmore grabbing a hat-trick.
The Northcourt, Oxfordshire OX14 1PL
DIVISION ONE SOUTH
The big one. The final showdown for Fleet. Only a win will be good enough for them to overhaul Havant & Waterlooville. IN the reverse fixture, back in November, Fleet were hauled back from a 2-0 lead, only for Amy Granger to notch her second goal and send Town home with the points. The Dons still have the opportunity to finish the season in fourth spot, which would be an excellent achievement in their first season at this level.
