Premier Division

There was a repeat of the recent Ladies cup final on Sunday when Bemerton Heath Harlequins took on Highworth Town. As in the cup final it was Bemerton who emerged victorious scoring four unanswered goals to put one hand on the league title trophy. Top scorer Imogen Brady added three more goals to her impressive tally to move onto 37 for the season with strike partner Amy Hards getting the other Bemerton goal with her 18^th of the season in the 4-0 win. The win for Bemerton saw them open up a six-point lead over Highworth at the top of the table with a game in hand and, given their far superior goal difference, Bemerton could make sure of the title this coming Sunday with a win against AFC Brislington.

AFC Brislington kept their own chances of end of season honours alive with a 3-0 away win over Swindon Supermarine, two goals from Libby Sims and one from leading scorer Rhianna Ben-Carew inflicting the damage on Swindon Supermarine.

With Swindon Supermarine falling to defeat, Kingsdown took full advantage to open up a six-point lead over the team just below them in the table with a narrow 2-1 away win at Melksham Town. On target for Kingsdown were Siobhan Peplow and substitute Brooke Braithwaite with her first goal in senior football.

The final game of the week between Calne Town and Westbury Youth was postponed with Calne unable to raise a side.

Development Division

In the Development Division there had been one game played on Mothers’ Day, and it had seen Kingsdown Development  end their season on a winning note with a 5-1 away win at Trowbridge Wanderers. Trailing to a Jamie-Lee Curtis goal at the break Kingsdown turned it around in the second half, Siobhan Peplow scoring a hat-trick and Hayley Shipp scoring twice to put a big dent in Wanderers title chances.

Trowbridge Wanderers bounced back from that defeat on Sunday with a 5-1 win of their own against Ferndale Rodbourne. Jamie-Lee Curtis led the way with a hat-trick with further goals from Megan Keast and Erin Wilkins, Karolina Haylock with the consolation goal for Ferndale Rodbourne who were playing their final game of the season.

Marlborough Town maintained their four-point lead at the top of the table with a hard fought 2-0 away win at South Newton & Barford Hornets, leading scorer Sienna Lewis with both goals to move joint top of the Division’s goal scoring chart. The defeat for South Newton & Barford ended their own title ambitions but they are still in with a chance of runners-up spot. Marlborough Town can clinch the title this coming Sunday if they can defeat Trowbridge Wanderers. A win for Wanderers though would see the title race go to the final round of fixtures for the two potential champions, with Marlborough having the return game with South Newton & Barford, whilst Trowbridge Wanderers are away to Blunsdon.

Salisbury and Staverton Rangers were involved in a game that saw both sides complete their fixtures joining Kingsdown Development and Ferndale Rodbourne in completing their fixtures in good order. It was Salisbury who would end their season on a winning note, a hat-trick from Nicole Kirkman plus one from Lucy Willdigg securing a 4-0 away win that leaves them in third place in the table but just one point above South Newton & Barford Hornets who have three games left to play.

The other game on Sunday saw Malmesbury Victoria return from Sutton Park with all three points following a 4-0 away win at Blunsdon. On a day of hat-tricks in the division, Laura Deacon scored three of the Malmesbury goals to take her total for the season to 15, Emilee Collier with the other Malmesbury goal. Malmesbury remain level on points with South Newton & Barford who they meet in their final game of the season this coming Sunday.
