Gloucestershire League
The top six teams in Division One are covered by just three points after Sunday's results,
including leaders Bristol Rovers Development suffering a second successive defeat, this
time 3-2 at the hands of Bitton. Edie Hopton scored a late winner for Bitton to add to earlier
strikes from Anna Munday and Hayley Honeywell, whilst Helena Costa netted both goals in
reply for Rovers. A point would have taken Gloucester City back to the top of the table but
they also lost, 2-1 to Bristol & West who completed a double over the top two in successive
weeks. Emma Bowden bagged a brace for Bristol & West, who move up to third place as a
result, after Paige Todd had give Gloucester an early lead. Cheltenham Saracens follow on
after sharing a 2-2 draw with Tuffley Rovers. Chloe Taylor and Katie Morrissey were on
target for Tuffley whilst Saracens netted through Sophie Sharpe and Jordan Burrows.
Dursley Town meanwhile netted seven times without reply against Abbeymead Rovers
courtesy of doubles from Katie Hooper, Michelle Watson and Amalie Gray, with Georgina
Macey adding the other.
The top of the table clash in Division Two lived up to its billing as Cheltenham Civil
Service came from a goal behind to beat AEK Boco Res 2-1 and return to the top of the
table. Shania Powell had given Boco a first half lead but after the break, Civil Service turned
the game around to take the points thanks to Gemma Riley and Beth Sullivan. Kaja Jacobs and
Vicky Mundy scored the goals as Downend Flyers Res won 2-0 against Gloucester City
Development and Cirencester Town kept up their improving form by beating Red
Falcon Women 6-1. Jodie Bailey, Libby Messenger, Isla Norton, Nikola Biskup, Bec
Brannan and Robyn Evans all scored for Ciren, with Harriet Mason replying.

leaders Southmead Community Sport won 3-0 away to Kingswood Women, stretching
their advantage to eight points in the process. Bristol Ladies Union, who have four games
in hand, replace SGS Olveston Utd Res in second place after beating them 2-0 with an
Amelia Pargeter double but despite two goals from Leanne Derbyshire, Stoke Lane Athletic
lost ground when they lost 3-2 to Mitcheldean SC who scored through Emma Williams,
Steph Davis-Hyde and an own goal. Alex-Marie Bond (2), Hayley Layton, Michaela Dowie,
Sarah-Ann Smith and Em Symonds saw Ellwood Ladies to a 6-0 success at Andoversford,
meanwhile Anna Howes netted five times and Holly Talbot and Emily Wright added four
apiece for Winchcombe Town in their victory over Downend Flyers A.
