Premier Division
The last Sunday before the Christmas break saw just two games played in the Ladies Premier Division. The good news was that the two games featured three of the teams who are behind with their fixtures, allowing them to catch up a little bit on the sides who are now into the second half of their league season. All teams were originally scheduled to have completed 11 games by now but in the worst performing division in terms of playing games of all the seven divisions across the four different categories in the league, the highest number of games played is ten with three teams having achieved that figure. Some of the lost games are down to progress in the County Cup competitions but that impact should now be minimal moving into the second half of the season, but a couple of teams are going to have a busy second half to the season.
Keynsham Town “A” reinforced their championship credentials with an impressive 7-0 away win at Highworth Town to make it eight straight wins in eight games, although the points deduction they suffered for failing to fulfil a fixture means they remain a point behind league leaders Marlborough Town. Against Highworth Tia Mahadeven led the way for Keynsham scoring a hat-trick with further goals from Harriet Walker, Lauren Wylie, Tamzin Dunne and Olivia Bees.
Another side expected to be challenging for the league title come the end of the season are FC Abbey Meads and they made it five wins in six games with a 4-2 away win at Calne Town. It was very much the Hayley Huckin show with the FC Abbey Meads striker scoring all four goals for the visitors. The two Calne goals in reply were scored by Ellie Hamill and Isobel Satchell. FC Abbey Meads only defeat so far came at the hands of Keynsham Town “A” in the opening game of the season who they are set to meet in the return fixture which is the first game in the new calendar year for the two sides and could go a long way to deciding the destination of the league title. Alan and Barbara Swan were at the game and more of their pictures can be seen on the League Facebook Group Page.

Division One
It was a much better afternoon in terms of getting games played in Division One with just the one game postponed. The top game of the day was at the Raymond McEnhill Stadium where Salisbury were looking to maintain their perfect start to the league season against Malmesbury Vics who started the afternoon in third place in the table. It would prove to be the closest game of the afternoon, but it was mission accomplished for David Sawyer’s side as a fourth goal of the season from Angela Collins and an own goal saw Salisbury win 2-0 to make it nine wins from nine games to go into the New Year top of the table with a perfect league record. Results elsewhere meant Malmesbury dropped to fourth place.
Second in the table FC Chippenham picked up their eighth win in nine games with a comfortable 8-0 away win over Stratton. It was perfect symmetry for FC Chippenham as they scored four goals in each half with both Lily Ayhan and Amy Totterdell both scoring four times, two in each half for the FC Chippenham leading scorers. That is now 20 goals for Ayhan and 16 for Totterdell in all competitions.
Blunsdon moved above Malmesbury Vics into third spot in the table with a 7-0 away win at Durrington with three more for Lyndsey Plant taking her total for the campaign to 18, Danielle Tuck bagged a brace with the other two goals coming through Jody Nicholls and Kirsty Gossage.
The final game of the weekend was something of a goal fest with Marlborough Town Reserves and Bishops Cannings scoring 16 times between them with Marlborough claiming all three points courtesy of an 11-5 win. Both Kitty Bevan and Izzy Kirwan scored four for the home side, Daisy Cox scored twice with Rhiannon Williams getting the other Marlborough goal. The five goals in reply from Bishops Cannings came through a Georgia Brown hat-trick, Elsie Brewer and Caroline Ferris. The win for Marlborough Town Reserves saw them climb up into sixth spot in the table.
