With Division One North already decided, the focus turns to the battles at the top of the Premier and Division One South. All games at this stage are crucial. Ascot and Bournemouth are both on the road facing tough tests. IN the South both Portchester and Stoneham also face away games as they bid to overhaul Havant at the top of the league.

Combined Counties Women's Trophy
Abbey Rangers v Penn & Tylers Green
Trying again after last week's cancellation. Whilst Abbey are not 100% safe from relegation, Fleet would need to win three of their remaining five games for them to get dragged down. So, this will be a welcome relief and an opportunity to make something from their season. Penn still have a few league games to play and can still finish in second place even if top spot is now out of reach.

Premier
Warminster Town v Bournemouth Sports
After last weekend's crucial win against Ascot United, Sports now have the title back in their own hands. Win their remaining two games and they will be champions. However, this will be a tough test against a Warminster side who have grown into the season and are on a run of five unbeaten in the league, four of which have been victories. Recent history is very firmly on the side of Bournemouth. In their two previous meetings this season Sports have won both by big margins, 6-0 in the opening league game and 8-0 in the FA Cup.

Woodley United v Ascot United
Ascot's last league game of the season and a must-win for them. All they can do now is take three points and then hope that Bournemouth drop points in one of their remaining two games. Ascot won the reverse fixture 4-1 after being 3-0 up a the break thanks to Sarah Leonard, Philippa Holden and Alixandra Todd. Holden made it four 10 minutes after the break. Sajunae Turner did get one back for Woodley and their were late red card for Both Gemma Sims and Isabel Woods.

Division One North
Abingdon United Development v Penn & Tylers Green
With a second place still very much on, Penn will be looking to continue where they left off against Abingdon. The sides have met twice already this season, Penn winning both. However, both games were play at French School Meadow. Will Abingdon fare better on their own turf. Penn strike Liberty Dieppe scored twice in both of the previous games. Although United have managed to keep top scorer Henna Hussain quiet on both occasions.

Beaconsfield Town v Eversley & California
The Rams have a Chairman's Cup Final to look forward to in April after their 2-0 semi-final victory over the same opposition they face this weekend. For Eversley, focus is now on picking up a few more points in their remaining SEVEN league games and staying clear of the bottom spot that they currently just above on goal difference. They have the confidence boost in the knowledge that they beat Beaconsfield 4-2 in the reverse fixture.

Milton United v Caversham United
Milton's heavy defeat at the weekend finally killed off their very slim title hopes. Second spot is still very much on the cards, but they need to get back to winning ways quickly. For the Goats, the points are required for a very different reason. They currently occupy bottom spot and have a vastly inferior goal difference. With the two teams directly above them to come in the next few weeks, a morale-boosting result here would be a bonus.

Division One South
Abbey Rangers v AFC Portchester
Portchester have the league title in their own hands. Win every game and it is all theirs. Their confidence will be high for this game having already put 16 goals past Abbey in two meetings this season. Rangers are fairly clear of the bottom but will still be glancing over their shoulder at Fleet's results should they lose this one.
Addlestone Moor, Addlestone, Surrey KT15 2QH
Fleet Town v AFC Stoneham
A win for The Purps would put them top of the table. However, if they wish to stay there, they still have to rely on Portchester dropping points between now and the end of the season. Fleet are still looking for their first league point of a difficult season but so still have an NHDA Cup Final to look forward to when they come up against Andover New Street on April 11th.
