Megan Jordan and Ellie Richardson.
Gloucestershire League
The Division One title race will go down to the last match of the season after Bristol Rovers
were held to a goalless draw by Longwell Green. A win would have seen Rovers all but
crowned as Champions but they will need to win their final game against Abbeymead
Rovers on Sunday after Longwell produced a fine defensive performance to frustrate them
on the day, whilst Becky Sullivan had an outstanding match for them in midfield.
Sunday will also see a title decider in Division Two with Olveston Utd in the
driving seat after they battled out an entertaining 2-2 draw with Bristol Rovers
Development, Courtney Lusmore scoring both goals for Olveston including a late
equaliser. Their last match will be against Longlevens who kept their hopes alive by beating
Cheltenham Civil Service 4-1. Lucy Skelding (2), Olivia Kosylowicz and Lauren Mills all
scored for Longlevens who will be one point adrift going into the final match. The two teams
had met on the opening day of the season with the game being abandoned due to an injury,
with Longlevens leading 1-0 at the time. Kate Ambrey meanwhile hit a hat-trick as
Mitcheldean SC ran out 4-1 winners away to Bradley Stoke. Kacie Anderson added
Mitcheldean's other goal, with Emily Jacklin replying.
Greater London League
Walton Casuals are closing in on the Premier Division title after they defeated Enfield
Town Res twice in a double header. Hayden Halscheid (2) and Nicola Saunders scored the
goals as Walton won the first match 3-1, and 2-1 in the return meeting thanks to Allana
Francis-Ashmeil and Rebecca E Price. Clapton Community defeated Dulwich Hamlet
Res 5-1 to move into second place, courtesy of a goal apiece from Emily Link, Maria
Mendonca, Lucy Spours, Ciara Robinson and Larissa Costa Vieira. Molly Reilly, Sophie
Troth, Tilly Penfold and Rebekah Wiltshire were the scorers for Brentford in their 4-1
victory away to Regents Park Rangers, whose consolation came from Rhian O'Callaghan.
Sport London E Benfica emerged as 2-0 winners from the Division One North
top of the table clash against Headstone Manor. Iselin Vestnes and Amelia Shiner scored
the goals to take their side into top spot, ahead of their opponents on goal difference, after
bouncing back from their first defeat seven days previously. The points were shared in the
other goal, meaning each team has drawn at least once; Jodie Brooks, Emily Hobbs and
Aurora Ryan on target for Luton Town Res as they finished level at 3-3 with Larkspur
Rovers, for whom Ellie Wright hit a hat-trick.
The bottom four teams were in action against each other in Division One South,
UCL Academicals winning 3-2 against South London Laces. Enya Collins, Eleanor
Lock and an own goal gave Academicals the points, despite replies from Emily Hill and
Laurelle Jordan. Charlotte Keenan and Zoe Burden were on target for Tooting Bec as they
shared a 2-2 draw with Actonians Ladies Res, who netted through Jennifer Laidlaw and
Sinthujah Sooriyakumar.
North Riding League
The teams occupying the top two places at the start of the day met each other in a top of the
table clash and things could hardly have been tighter, with leaders Redcar Town Res and
Redcar Athletic battling out a goalless draw. The result means that York St John
University have replaced Athletic in second place and are one point off the pace after
winning 4-2 away to Brompton Ladies. Emma Walton was on target for Guisborough
Town in their 1-1 draw with Poppleton, which leaves the teams in the next two positions,
whilst Richmond Town ran out 5-0 winners over Huntington Rovers thanks to
Rhiannah McCourt (2), Anna McKernon (2) and Sophie Preston.
