The last three remaining Second Round ties were played on Sunday,
       completing the draw for this weekend’s Third Round matches.
            The  tie  between  Southampton  Women  and  London
       Bees had originally been abandoned due to an injury, with the Bees
       leading 2-0 at the time. The match was replayed on Sunday and the Bees went on to book their
       place in the next round with a 3-0 victory. Juliet Adebowale, Bolu Fisher and Nikita Whinnett
       scored the goals which see their side go through to play Lewes in the Third Round.
            Watford meanwhile defeated Crawley Wasps 6-0 in a clash between two Southern
       Premier Division clubs and they now travel to Crystal Palace. Helen Ward gave Watford the
       lead from the penalty spot and they went on to add further goals through Andria Georgiou, Flo
       Fyfe, Ward and Poppy Wilson as well as an own goal.
            Liskeard Athletic faced a very difficult task against Oxford Utd and so it proved, the
       Southern Premier Division side scoring thirteen times past their South West League opponents.
       Carly Johns led the scoring with a hat-trick and there were doubles from Sarah King and Leah
       Burridge, whilst Riva Casley, Naomi Cole, Daisy McLachlan, Iesha Swaby and Lacy-Jai Liggett
       also got on the scoresheet.



       The  latest  round  of  group  matches  in  the  UEFA  Women’s
       Champions League has seen both Arsenal and Chelsea move a
       step closer towards the knockout stages.
            Arsenal  were  first  in  action  on  Wednesday  night  with  a
       hard earned 1-0 victory against Juventus. Vivianne Miedema
       scored the only goal of the game in the seventeenth minute to
       give Arsenal a result which means they need two points from two
       games to secure qualification.
            Victory at Real Madrid would have guaranteed a quarter final place for Chelsea but
       they are in the same position as Arsenal, needing two more points, after finishing level at 1-1.
       Caroline Weir pounced on a defensive mistake, intercepting a pass from Ann-Katrin Berger
       before rolling the ball back into the empty net to put Real ahead nine minutes before half time
       but on the hour mark, Chelsea were   awarded a penalty and although Guro Reiten’s initial shot
       hit the post, the ball cannoned back in off  GROUP A   P  W D  L  F  A Pts GD
