The County Leagues...

Gloucestershire League
Newly crowned Champions Pucklechurch Sports are one game away from completing the
season with a perfect record, but were pushed all the way on Sunday by second placed Olveston
Utd before emerging as 5-4 winners. Adele Hooper scored twice along with Tammi Haynes, Ellie
Jefferies and Charlotte Davis, whilst Olveston's replies came from Lauren White, Nicola Coles,
Rebecca Harris and Weronika Jozefowska. Olveston are still in line for the runners-up spot after
Longwell Green were beaten 3-2 by in-form Bristol & West, who notched up a third straight
victory. Imogen Kuseri, Emma Cove and Becky Billing were on target for Bristol & West. Leonie
Gough scored the only goal of the game for Bishop's Cleeve in their 1-0 victory over
Gloucester City.
Cheltenham Civil Service won for the third match in a row in Division Two when they
defeated City of Gloucester 2-1. Petra Ratajova and Gemma Riley scored their goals, with Liz
Lane replying.
Bradley Stoke maintained their three point lead at the top of Division Three, courtesy of
a 2-0 win away to Kingswood Women, Chloe Brown netting both goals. Whitchurch &
Bristol made sure of staying on their heels in second as Sarah Fernando, Faith Constable and
Hannah Gillett gave them a 3-0 victory at Stoke Lane Athletic. The title race now looks to be
down to two teams after third placed Bristol Ladies Union Development lost 2-0 to
Olveston Utd Res, Paige Fowler and an own goal stretching Olveston's winning run to four
matches. Michaela Adams (2) and Georgina Bragg accounted for the goals as Downend Flyers
Res defeated Mitcheldean SC 3-0 and Southmead Community Sport were 5-1 winners
away to Tewkesbury Town.
Greater London League
Bromley FC Ladies have gone top of the table for the first time this season after they won 3-1
away to Comets. Samantha Kilroy-Downs, Terri-Ann Warren and Tanya Holley scored the goals
for Bromley, with McKenna Doyle replying. Aimee Shaw, Sinead Walsh, Samantha Read and
Jessica Vassena were all on the scoresheet as Headstone Manor beat Edgware Town 4-0 and
Sutton Utd U23 were 2-0 victors over Regents Park Rangers thanks to Faye Butler and
Sophie Demetriou.
In Division One North, Brentford B boosted their chances of securing a top three finish
when they won 5-0 against Tower Hamlets. Chloe Logie bagged a brace and the others came
from Lillie Elsbury, Cheyenne Faulkner and Karen Abou-Abdallah. Elena Bodnarescu and Ayse
Yuksel were the markswomen for East London Ladies in their 2-0 victory over Hackney Res.
Richmond & Kew stay five points clear at the top of Division One South after a goal from
Jessica Roberts earned them a 1-0 victory against South London Women. Second placed UCL
Academicals were also 1-0 winners away to South East Parakeets, who stay one position
below them, thanks to a solitary strike by Olivia Anton. Balham Panthers leapfrogged
Sporting Duet in the table after winning their meeting 4-1, courtesy of a Beth McIntosh double,
Eleanor Froud and Lily Hale. Emily Hill scored twice, with Josie Alderman and Beth Towle
adding the others, for South London Laces in their 4-3 victory over Ashford Town
(Middlesex) Res, whose replies came from Rachel Marlow (2) and Hannah Quinton.
Sheffield & Hallamshire League
An early goal by Lori Hudson gave Division One leaders Harworth Colliery a 1-0 win at
Sheffield Utd Community Foundation, the result keeping Harworth very much in the
driving seat to finish champions, something they will achieve if they win both their remaining
games. At the moment, only Rotherham Utd Whitehill of the teams in the top five cannot win
the title and because there are several six-pointers still to be played, Harworth may already be
champions ahead of their final game which is at home to AFC Bentley, who need maximum
points from their last six games to claim top spot. Dronfield Town kept their title hopes alive
with Demi Booth, Kris Humble and Laurie Marris on the mark in a 3-1 victory over Handsworth
