The County Leagues...

Gloucestershire League
One match was played in the league on Sunday,
in Division Two where Red Falcon Club and
Dursley Town met each other for the third time
in five weeks. The previous two meetings had
been in cup semi finals, with Dursley winning the
first half and the second finishing goalless -
Dursley winning on penalties - but the league
meeting was to go 3-2 in Red Falcon's favour.
Amber Chaffe, Chloe Bragg and Kelly Maggs
scored the goals for Red Falcon, with Lucy Jones
and Gemma Butler replying. Dursley hold on to
second place despite the result and a win in their Sheffield Utd CF Res defend a corner against
final match should see them secure the runners-up Handsworth Development (Julian Barker).
spot behind title winners Bristol Rovers
Development.
Greater London League
Camden Town Blues won a thrilling match 4-3 against Queen's Park Rangers Res,
which will go a long way towards deciding the destiny of the Division One North title.
Lily-Rose Dyer was on target twice for Camden along with Simone Larsen and Lauren
Pickett, while Rangers replied through Jessica Francis-Weir, Amelia Halawi and Harriet
Stiles-Winfield. The result brought an end to QPR's chances of winning the title and leaves
Actonians Ladies Res requiring one more point to make sure, although their current
points total can still be caught by Camden.
Forest Crusaders are the new leaders of Division Two North East following their
3-1 victory over Impact FC Women. Georgia Maxwell-Jones netted twice and Dominyka
Pavlovska added the other, with Alex Duberry replying. Previous leaders Leyton Orient
were beaten 5-0 by AFC Leyton, who move above them into second place on goal
difference and two points behind Forest. Lindsay Sibbons bagged a brace and she was
joined on the scoresheet by Jada McGibbon, Georgine Sibbons and Javine McKnight.
Sheffield & Hallamshire League
With Harworth Colliery already crowned Division One champions earlier this month, it
was left to Dronfield Town and AFC Bentley to battle it out to determine who would
finish runners-up and it was Town who sealed second spot following a 6-1 victory over their
rivals in midweek. Annabel Davies bagged a hat-trick with Becky Hill (2) and Kirsty Walton
also on the mark. Barring a silly score in Bentley’s last game, it means that Dronfield will
end the season as the division’s top scorers by a large margin. Their total for the season is
58, 23 more than Harworth and 26 more than Bentley. Nearly one third of that tally of 58
came in Dronfield’s final two games. For, they netted a round dozen in their penultimate
fixture, a 12-3 win at Wakefield Trinity U21. Becky Hill scored four times while Annabel
Davies (2), Miriam Hawley (2), Carly Gill, Laurie Marris, Eleanor Rose and an opponent
provided the other goals in the division’s first double figure score of the season, Town
having won 9-2 when the teams met previously. In contrast, the first 1-0 home win was
recorded by Handsworth with Kayleigh Gerrietty scoring direct from a second half corner
against Sheffield Utd Community Foundation who were also the losing side for the
only 1-0 away win (by Dronfield). Bentley had kept themselves in contention for runners
