Cardiff are up against the Southern Division‘s top team in Charlton, who have made a powerful start with six straight wins and bags of goals. Lewes – five points behind the leaders – are home to West Ham, there’s a clash of third versus fifth with Palace playing Portsmouth and C & K Basildon who sit inbetween them host QPR. Gillingham have a visit from Coventry and Swindon try to get off the mark at the sixth attempt, with home advantage over Chichester.
Midlands Division 1 has the top four playing among each other, three of whom have 100% records. Solihull challenge unbeaten leader Loughborough Foxes and something must give as TNS take on Burton with neither yet dropping a point. There are also four teams still with no points, two of those meeting as Long Eaton are home to Sporting Khalsa. Leicester Ladies look for their first points at Sheffield United, likewise Rotherham home to Steel City, while elsewhere Radcliffe host Birmingham & West Midlands.
Top of the bill in Northern Division 1 is definitely Hull home to Liverpool Feds, with the Tigers top and Feds on faultless form. Third in the table Brighouse have bottom club Mossley, Morecambe defend an undefeated start at Leeds, as do Crewe at Newcastle. Home sides are two points better off than their visitors as Bolton challenge Chorley and Chester le Street go head to head with Barnsley.
Every side in South East Division 1 has suffered defeat, which is reflected in the fact that there’s only two points between the top four. Wimbledon defend their pole position at Stevenage, second-placed Leyton go to Norwich, Ipswich and MK Dons – level on points with Orient – host Actonians and visit Luton respectively. Enfield in ninth are just one point better off than visitors Denham, Haringey hope for their first ever FAWPL points when travelling to draw specialists Cambridge.
The top four in South West Division 1 have won all their games to date and among those there’s a local derby, with Southampton Saints versus newcomers Southampton WFC. Plymouth and Keynsham both go in search of a sixth victory on the trot; Argyle at Basingstoke and Town away to St Nicholas. Poole play Brislington in a mid-table match, while Larkhall on one point host Cheltenham on three.
