Charlton Athletic are looking good for the FAWPL Southern Division title after a 6-0 victory at Chichester City sent them top on Wednesday night.
Charlton raced into a 4-0 lead in the first 28 minutes, Nicole Pepper netting straight from a corner, Charley Clifford bagging a brace and Georgia Griffin getting the fourth. Charlotte Gurr and Kit Graham then both scored in a three-minute spell after the hour mark.
The Addicks are two points clear of C & K Basildon and two more ahead of Crystal Palace, with a game in hand on each. They play the Eagles in the Capital Cup final at Rectory Park this Sunday, then visit them in the league seven days later.

MK Dons gained ground on South East Division 1 leaders AFC Wimbledon with a 2-0 result at Stevenage, which sees them six points off the top with three games in hand.
