Due to an unforgivable oversight, I didn't include Stoneham's historic FA Cup game in last week's blog. My apologies. There's no excuse. As my American colleagues would say, I completely dropped the ball there. Heads would roll if it wasn't my own. Unfortunately, the SoReg involvement in the FA Cup is now over for the season but it was an eventful run for a few clubs.
Meanwhile in the league, Ascot maintained their position at the top of the Premier League, inflicting Woodley's biggest defeat of the season. Bournemouth Sports kept pace with a win against Wycombe. Penn smashed in eleven against Caversham with Henna Hussain adding four to her total before getting sent off. In the South, Portchester made it six from six in the league to keep the pressure firmly on Stoneham at the top.

Women's FA Cup
Plymouth Argyle 4-2 AFC Stoneham
Sadly, Stoneham's record-breaking FA Cup came to an end in Devon on Sunday but there was certainly no disgrace in losing to a team 3 divisions higher. National League Plymouth, who smashed Ilminster Town 13-0 to get to this stage, had just a little too much for the Stoneham, but the Purps did the league proud with their display. Ellie Sara put Plymouth ahead on 10 minutes with Jemma Rose adding a second before the quarter-hour. In the second half Rosie McDonnell and Sara again, made the game safe. Stoneham kept battling away and grabbed two well-deserved consolations through Susani Lucas and Mia Delaney.

NHDA Cup
Winchester City Flyers Reserves 1-7 Winchester City Flyers
You can't get any more local than this local derby. City's reserves got to test themselves out against their Premier League first team. Top scorer Annie Northwood helped herself to a hat-trick ably assisted with goals from Eliza Eaton, Emily McDonough, Jasmine Pearmine and Freya Thomas, as the first clocked up seven goals, four in the first half.

Ascot United 4-1 Woodley United
Woodley suffered the backlash from Ascot's first league defeat the previous weekend as the Yellawomen got back to winning ways in some style. Sarah Leonard opened scoring early on, Philippa Holden doubled it midway through the half. Alixandra Todd's goal just before the break gave Ascot a three goal lead. Shortly after half-time Holden scored her second and Ascot's fourth before Sajunae Turner scored a consolation just before the end. Both sides were then reduced to 10 late on when Gemma Sims and Izzy Woods clashed. Read the full match report on the Ascot United website. We are all also, once again, indebted to the fantastic Andy Wicks for capturing the match action for us.
Bournemouth Sports 3-1 Wycombe Wanderers
Liane Folkenstern was on the mark again, following on from last week's six goal haul in the cup. Becky Miles was also back on the scoresheet with the third Sports goal coming from an own goal. Emma Newberry got a consolation for the Chairgirls just after the hour mark but it was not enough.
Warminster Town 3-0 Badshot Lea
The Baggies managed to keep Town top-scorer Mia Blazey off the scoresheet, but couldn't prevent her being involved in all three goals as Warminster made it two on the bounce and a second consecutive clean sheet. Millie Spratt opened the scoring after 30 minutes. Then Poppy Wannell added two more inside two minutes around the hour mark to secure the victory.
Winchester City Flyers 1-2 Eastleigh
An early strike from Sarah Bradshaw and another from Farrah Thompson early in the second half, gave Eastleigh a first league win since mid-October. A run of four defeats ended. Flyers, boosted by a Friday night cup win against their reserve side, remain just above Badshot Lea, although The Baggie shave a game in hand. Eliza Eaton scored for them but it was not enough to earn anything from the game.

Chesham United Development 3-0 Beaconsfield Town
United clocked up their first clean sheet of the season as they made it eight league defeats in a row for The Rams. It was goalless at the break but top scorer Katie West finally broke the deadlock for the home side. Emma Nolan doubled the lead shortly afterwards and then added another to put the game beyond the visitors.
Eversley & California P-P Ascot United Reserves
Long Crendon 1-0 Milton United
It was back to winning ways for Long Crendon after last week's reversal at home to Penn & Tylers Green. Brooke Burns grabbed the decisive goal ln a tight contest. Despite the win, Long Crendon dropped a place to third after Wycombe's u23 bettered their goal difference with a win at home to Abingdon. Once again we have to thank Wings Media for capturing some excellent photos in very testing conditions.
Penn & Tylers Green 11-1 Caversham United
The Goats fell to their biggest defeat of the season as Penn clocked up double figures at French School Meadow. Henna Hussain had a 32 minute spell she won't forget in a hurry, scoring four times and then getting sent off. That's twenty for the season now, an average of two per game. Liberty Dieppe, Ellie Ludgate-Williams and Chloe Robinson had put Penn 3-0 up before Charlie Kirk pulled one back just before the half-hour. However, two from Felicity Gates another from Ludgate-Williams and a last minute Holly Wyncoll strike, completed the misery for Caversham.
Wycombe Wanderers u23 4-2 Abingdon United Development
A second win in a row for Wycombe that helps them leapfrog Long Crendon into second place on goal difference. Elena Mitchell had them in front after 15 minutes before Mikaela Slaveykova equalised for United in the second half. Almost immediately, Amaya Navarro restored Wycombe's advantage and, ten minutes later, Shannon Read added to her tally to make it 3-1. Mimi Hodges then grabbed her customary goal to make it interesting for the last ten minutes. However, Ammara Qureshi secured the victory with a goal two minutes from time.

AFC Portchester 6-0 Bournemouth Sports Reserves
There's just no stopping this Portchester side in the league this season. Game number six signalled win number six as Portchy scored six without reply. Ella Wilson hit two goals, Paula Taylor was on the mark, as was Aimee Hall-Guy and, of course, both Eilidh Currie and Charmaine True got their names on the scoresheet.
Abbey Rangers 0-1 Havant & Waterlooville
Jodie Burchell proved to be Abbey's nemesis again. Havant's leading scorer, who scored the winner in a 2-1 home win earlier in the season, was on the mark in the 60th minute to give The Hawks their first league win in four outings. Abbey's mini-revival was also brought to an end after they had won their last two games in all competitions.
Rushmoor 2-4 Woking
The Cardinals made it six league games without defeat despite having to overcome a comeback from Rushmoor. Helen Ogle put Woking ahead after only three minutes and when Trudy Bryan-Kerr doubled the advantage eight minutes later, it looked like the points were in the bag. However, Rushmoor got a goal back through Iona Quinn in the 16th minute and then equalised just past the midway point of the half with an own goal. Ogle then edged the Cards back in front before Gaby Hobday put them two goals clear again before the break. With no more scoring in the second half, the points were safely in the bag for Woking leaving Rushmoor still searching for a first league win since September.

Fixtures - December 3rd
Premier League
Bournemouth Sports v Winchester City Flyers
Despite being in second spot, Sports remain the only unbeaten team in the top flight, five points behind the leaders but with two games in hand. They can keep up the pressure with a win over second-bottom Flyers this weekend. The 2-1 defeat at home to Eastleigh at the weekend was the fourth league defeat on the bounce for Flyers. Earlier in the season two Becky Miles goals gave Sports a 2-0 win at Winchester.
Chapel Gate, Nr Hurn Airport, East Parley, Hampshire BH23 6BL.
Warminster Town v Wycombe Wanderers
The 3-0 defeat of Badshot Lea gave Warminster their second win on the bounce at the weekend, following their 1-0 defeat of Ascot in their previous game. They'll be looking to continue their progress against a Wycombe side who were beaten by Bournemouth Sports on Sunday. The teams played out a 2-2 draw back in September, Charlotte Hill giving Wycombe the lead before Mia Blazey and Rebecca Snelling put Town in front at the break. Katie Riddington levelled it up just after the hour mark.
Weymouth Street, Warminster BA12 9NS
Division One North
Ascot United Reserves v Penn & Tylers Green
Two sides who come into the game on the back of recent big wins, both against Caversham.
When they met at French School Meadow in October, goals from Felicity Gates, Henna Hussain and Ellie Ludgate-Williams were enough to overcome United, who hit a single reply through Mya Bowler.
Racecourse Ground, Winkfield Road, Ascot, Berkshire SL5 7LJ
Caversham United v Beaconsfield Town
A first meeting for these two. United will be looking to drag themselves off the foot of the table by getting at least a point from this one. Town have only won once this season and are coming into this one on the back of eight consecutive league reversals. So, they will also see this game as an opportunity to put some open ground between themselves and the bottom two. It may be still fairly early in the season but this is a real six-pointer.
Mapledurham Recreation Ground, Upper Woodcote Road, Mapledurham, Reading RG4 7LD
Division One South
Fleet Town v Bournemouth Sports Reserves
After drawing their first game of the season Fleet have yet to register any more points in the six games since. Bournemouth had taken seven points from nine before their 6-0 defeat at Portchester last weekend. This came on the back of an 8-0 defeat at Southampton in the cup. They'll be looking to get back to winning ways to stay in contention near the top of the table. This is the first meeting of the teams this season.
Crookham Road, Fleet GU51 5FA
Rushmoor v Abbey Rangers
Both sides lost at home last weekend and will be wanting to 'get back on the horse' as soon as possible. They have already met at Addlestone Moor, back in October when a flying start from Rangers, three goals in the opening 14 minutes, set the tone for a 5-2 home win. Last season, in this fixture, two from Ella Maclellan and another from Bethany Sanders, gave Rangers a 3-2 win.
Southwood Pavilion, Grasmere Road, Farnborough GU14 0LE
BBFA County Cup
Milton United v Milton Keynes Dons SET
There's something poetic about a clash between two Miltons. It's a tough ask for United who will know that MK Dons SET have, in recent years, put 6 past Long Crendon and 17 past Penn & Tylers Green. United's defeat at Long Crendon last Sunday was their first in four games. So, will this weekend it be Paradise Regained or Paradise Lost?
Milton Heights, Potash Lane, Milton, Abingdon OX14 4XB
Hampshire County Cup
Southampton v AFC Stoneham
The Division One South leaders, after their FA Cup exploits, face another tough task as they travel to National League Division One South West outfit, Southampton. Having already put up a very good fight against a Premier League side, Stoneham will, no doubt, be relishing this giant-killing opportunity. Southampton have lost their last two league games, 6-1 and 9-0 but, sandwiched between these, did put five unanswered goals past Bitton in the FA Cup. This could well be a fascinating match-up.

League Cup
Badshot Lea v Woodley United
After league defeat for both sides last weekend, the League Cup will come as a little bit of relief, especially to The Baggie, who have been on a very difficult run in the league. They have already met once in the league, at Bulmershe back in early September. Sarah Lawrence and May Hamblin scored for Woodley, Emily Foss for Badshot Lea, as United ran out 2-1 winners.
Operatix Community Ground, Westfield Lane, Wrecclesham GU10 4PF
Eversley & California v Eastleigh
Let's hope this game goes ahead. Eversley have only played five games all season and have seen their last four get postponed. Still without a league point, they'll relish a cup game as a little relief. However, they probably wouldn't have wanted a draw against a Premier League team. Eastleigh currently sit fourth after an inconsistent start to the season. Goals have been difficult to come by but, in contrast, they also don't concede too many.
ESA, Fox Lane, Eversley RG27 0NS
Havant & Waterlooville v Abingdon United Development
South versus North. The Hawks, currently third in their league, welcome Abingdon's Dev. team to Hampshire. United are mid-table and having an up and down season. No shortage of goals scored but they concede a few too. Top scorer Mimi Hodges has 15 goals in 11 games so far. The Hawks top markswoman is Jodie Burchell with 5 in her 10 games. Havant don't score as many as Abingdon, but have also only conceded 5 at home so far.
Westleigh Park, Havant PO9 5TH
Kidlington v Oxford City
An interesting local derby with the lower ranked team having home advantage. Kidlington are still top of Division One North and have won five of their last six league games. Last time out they put six past another local rival, Banbury United. Oxford are mid-table in the Premier League with a perfectly symmetrical record, won 3, drawn 3, lost 3.
Exeter Park, Crown Road, Kidlington OX5 1AB
Long Crendon v AFC Portchester
Two of this season's form sides, albeit in different divisions, go head to head on Sunday. Portchy's defeat at Bromley in the FA Cup was the only time this season that they have not won, in any competition. Long Crendon's biggest worry in this game may be their home form. They have only lost three games all season but all three have come at The Rec. However, no other team in the division can better their average goals conceded record. It will be interesting to see how Crendon's defence deal with Portchester's potent attacking force.
Long Crendon Recreation Ground, Chearsley Road, Long Crendon HP18 9BS
Woking v Ascot United
The Cards are now unbeaten in all competitions since mid-September's 2-0 defeat to Portchester. They will be very keen to test themselves out against the current leaders of the Premier League. Ascot bounced back from their unexpected defeat at Warminster by beating Woodley 4-1 at the weekend. Prolific scorers at home, Ascot have only managed two goals on the road so far. The Cards, however, have only managed one home clean sheet this season.
