The top of table clash in the Premier Division ended in a 1-1 draw, meaning that the destination
of the title will be decided in the last match of the season. A late goal from Katy Hanscomb
earned leaders Actonians Ladies Res a share of the spoils and they head the table by a single
point from Islington Borough, who scored through Freya Glen, and both teams have one
match left to play. Headstone Manor are also one point behind but they have completed their
fixtures, finishing off as Sian Rodway-Smith (2) and Jade Doherty fired them to a 3-0 victory at
Camden Town. Comets meanwhile were dealt a blow as they were held to a 1-1 draw by
Regents Park Rangers, for whom Natalia Debek scored to cancel out Rosalind Duignan-
Pearson's strike for Comets. Actonians will be at home to Richmond & Kew on the final day
and a win would see them as Champions, whilst Comets meet Islington Borough with both
hoping to capitalise on any slip up by Actonians. Richmond & Kew were in action on Sunday and
shared a bizarre 6-6 draw with Clapham Utd who continue to pick up points. Charlotte Close
hit a hat-trick for Richmond along with Danielle Bourne, Jessica Roberts and Ellysia Crabb,
whilst Clapham netted through Emma Dyduch (2), Florrie Maxwell (2), Kerry Gilroy and Amber
Guyatt.
