       Gloucestershire League
       Gloucester City were unable to take an opportunity to go top of the table when they were held
       to a 1-1 draw by Dursley Town. Zoe Gabb gave Gloucester the lead from the penalty spot but an
       equaliser from Gemma Butler means that they now trail leaders Bristol Rovers Development
       by a single point. Cheltenham Saracens and Bishop's Cleeve occupy the next two positions
       after sharing a 2-2 draw, Ashleigh Barclay and Lauren Wyatt were on target for Saracens whilst
       Cleeve netted through Leonie Gough and Imogen O'Brien. Bitton Ladies kept themselves well
       in the hunt with a 9-1 victory against Abbeymead Rovers, Tia Harris scoring twice, with one
       apiece from Hayley Honeywell, Rebecca Sullivan, Leanne Passaway, Rebecca Jones, Caitlin Hale
       and Evie Hopton along with an own goal. Beth Clatworthy netted twice from the penalty spot,
       with Aimee Clark adding the other as Bristol & West won 3-2 away to Tuffley Rovers.
           The top two have opened up a gap in Division Two, still headed by Cheltenham Civil
       Service following their 9-1 victory over City of Gloucester. Beth Sullivan was on target four
       times along with Jessica Brown (2), Katie Ashmead, Annabel Whitbury and Leanne Painter.
       AEK Boco Res remain close at hand in second after beating Red Falcon Women 5-0 with
       goals from Shania Powell (2), Grace Clark, Shelby Lacey and Courtney Smith. Hannah Gillett
       scored  both  as  Whitchurch  &  Bristol  kept  their  hopes  alive  with  a  2-0  victory  over
       Cirencester  Town  and  Longlevens  were  2-1  winners  away  to  Gloucester  City
       Development thanks to a brace from Lorraine Smith.
           Division Three leaders Southmead Community Sport did not play and their advantage
       has been trimmed to two points by in-form SGS Olveston Utd Res, who won 3-1 at Stoke
       Lane Athletic. Bristol Ladies Union continue to close in on the leading sides, they were 2-1
       victors away to Mitcheldean SC thanks to Thalia Worsley and Raya Langford. Michaela Dowie
       scored both for Ellwood Ladies as they beat Winchcombe Town 2-1 and Andoversford
       scored eleven without reply past Ashton Keynes Youth, Jessica Cox hitting a hat-trick along
       with  Corrie  Lavallee    (2),  Kathryn  McGirr  (2),  Ellie  Kelly  (2),  Rachael  Cutmore  and  Lauren
