Huddersfield Town meanwhile moved up to third, thanks to a 3-1 win away to
       West Bromwich Albion, bringing a halt to the home side's recent improved form. Laura
       Elford was on target twice for Town along with Serena Fletcher, whilst Albion's consolation
       came from Shannon Stamps.
              Middlesbrough  claimed  an  important  2-1  victory  at  Loughborough
       Lightning, which takes them out of the bottom two places. Armani Maxwell and Rebecca
       Olley scored the goals for 'Boro, whilst Loughborough's reply came via an own goal.
       Southern Premier Division
       With Southampton FC Women not having a game on Sunday, Ipswich Town took the
       opportunity to regain the leadership with a 3-0 victory over Milton Keynes Dons. Zoe
       Barratt was on target twice for Ipswich, with Lucy O'Brien adding the other.
              Bridgwater  Utd's  first  match  under  the  interim  management  of  Jamie  Harris
       ended in a fine 2-0 win away to Portsmouth. Poppy Wilson gave Bridgwater the lead on the
       stroke of half time, with Meesha Dudley-Jones adding the other goal midway through the
       second half.
              Crawley  Wasps  moved  back  up  the  table  following  their  5-0  victory  against
       Chichester & Selsey. Ciara Boyland netted two of the goals and she was joined on the
       scoresheet by Naomi Cole, Imogen Lancaster and Emma Plewa.
              London Bees are in mid-table after halting the recent fine form of Gillingham
       by beating them 4-0. The Bees led at half time through a goal from Hannah Porter who added
       a  second  just  before  the  hour  mark,  Jo  Wilson  then  made  it  three  and  Courtnay  Ward-
       Chambers rounded off the scoring late on.
              Keynsham Town meanwhile picked up three crucial points from a 1-0 success
       away to Hounslow Women. Kerry Bartlett gave her side an important result when she
       scored a late winning goal.
       Division One North
       Only one match was played in the division on Sunday but it did not lack for goals, as leaders
       Leeds Utd shared a 5-5 draw with Durham Cestria. Leeds raced into a three-goal lead in
       the  first  half  thanks  to  Rebecca  Hunt,  Abbie  Brown  and  Olivia  Smart  and  after  Jordan
       Atkinson had pulled one back for Durham, Laura Bartup restored the three-goal advantage
       before  half  time.  Atkinson  scored  again  after  the  break  but  after  Bartup  had  netted  her
       second for Leeds, the Wildcats staged a fight back to peg them back. Ellen Turnbull netted
       twice, either side of a hat-trick goal from Atkinson, to give Durham what had seemed an
       unlikely point at one stage.
       Division One Midlands
       Lincoln  City  increased  their  lead  at  the  top  to  five  points  after  they  defeated  Holwell
       Sports 3-1. Leah Hardy netted two second half goals for the Lady Imps and Jeorgia Carr was
       also on target, with Katie Lowder replying.
              Doncaster Rovers Belles kept themselves in touch with the leading sides by
       beating Leek Town 5-0, a result which takes them into third place. Jessica Andrew netted
       two of the goals for the Belles and she was joined on the scoresheet by Charlotte Dinsdale,
       Nadia Khan and Jasmine Saxton.
              Bedworth  Utd  meanwhile  celebrated  their  first  league  victory  of  the  season,
       running out 4-1 winners away to Burton Albion. Sophie Wilson spearheaded the win for
       Bedworth by scoring a hat-trick and Kirsty Farnsworth was also on target, with Danielle
       Oxley scoring the Lady Brewers' consolation.
       Division One South East
       Hashtag Utd scored eight times without reply past Harlow Town to stay three points
       clear at the top of the table. Amy-Leigh Abrehart bagged a hat-trick and there were doubles
       from Emma Samways and Kelly Wealthall, whilst Cerys Adams completed the tally.
