Division One South East
Leaders Hashtag Utd battled out a goalless draw with AFC Wimbledon which leaves
them five points ahead of second placed Billericay Town, who have played two games
less. Third placed Wimbledon can still mathematically win the title although it is now
looking unlikely.

2-0 victory against Cambridge Utd. Both goals came in the last fourteen minutes of the
match, substitute Alana Munro giving Enfield the lead and Leah Littlechild adding the
second.
Norwich City remain just below the line but boosted their chances of climbing
out with a 3-1 success away to Harlow Town, given to them by goals from Natasha
Snelling, Kathryn Stanley and Freya Symonds.
Kent Football Utd notched up their second league victory of the season, a first
half goal from Latifat Adaja earning them a 1-0 win against Cambridge City.
Division One South West
Cheltenham Town stretched their lead to four points, thanks to a 2-0 victory away to
Portishead Town. Despite a spirited effort from the home side, two goals in three
second half minutes saw Cheltenham home. Holly Rogers gave them the lead after
seizing on an underhit back pass and before Portishead could recover, Tamzin Hayward
scored the second. Cheltenham went on to keep their eighth clean sheet in fifteen league
matches.
Southampton Women kept their title hopes alive as they ran out 4-0 winners
at Maidenhead Utd. Rachel Okoro netted a goal in each half and she was joined on the
scoresheet by Emily Wernham and Sian Wylie.
Excter City meanwhile received a setback when they were beaten 3-0 by
Swindon Town. Megan Attenborough put Swindon in control by scoring either side of
half time and Anna Barnes put the seal on their best result of the season with the third
goal, midway through the second half.
