Fulham Women Secure Promotion to the Third Tier

Fulham Women are champions of the FA WNL Division One South East, while AFC Bournemouth and Cheadle Town Stingers won the knockout finals.


AFC Bournemouth edged Plymouth Argyle 1-0 at Loftus Road to lift the League Cup for the first time. Kenni Thompson scored early on directly from a corner kick.

Cheadle won the League Plate 3-0 on penalties after a goalless deadlock with Moneyfields.

The Northern Premier Division still has Burnley on top, pursued by Wolves, who saw off West Brom 1-0 in front of over 2,000 at Molineux. Loughborough Lightning are just a goal difference away from escaping the relegation zone after their victory over fourth-placed Stoke City.

Watford are one win away from clinching the Southern Premier Division after beating Exeter City 5-0 at Vicarage Road. Gwalia United scored the only goal at Real Bedford to stay four points clear of danger.

Huddersfield Town held the top spot in Division One North with a defeat of Chorley, sitting a point ahead of Leeds United with a game in hand after their 5-1 result at York City. Blackburn Rovers won the relegation ‘six-pointer’ against Doncaster Rovers Belles with a 90th-minute goal from Chung Man Karri Chan but remain at the bottom.

Despite Boldmere’s 5-1 victory at Kidderminster Harriers, Peterborough United are all but confirmed champions of Division One Midlands after edging Barnsley Women 1-0.

Fulham beat Milton Keynes Dons 3-0 at Craven Cottage to win Division One South East, with title rivals Norwich City losing 2-1 at home to Chatham Town.

In Division One South West, Swindon Town’s title hopes were dented by a home loss to Bridgwater United, giving Moneyfields the chance to overtake them from their game in hand.
