Wormley Rovers are the Premier Division Champions after a tense day saw them win their top
of the table clash 4-3 against Hertford Town. A midweek win had taken Wormley into top spot
and doubles from Chelise Fleming and Niamh Gallagher gave them the result they needed for the
title. There was some consolation for Hertford in that they will finish as runners-up after
Harpenden Town crashed to a surprise 2-1 defeat at the hands of Hartham Utd, which also
means that Wormley finish top by a comfortable looking margin of four points. Orlane N’Cho
scored both for Hartham, with Cayleigh Jackson replying.
