Hashtag United level on points with FA Women’s National League Southern Premier leaders, Chatham Town and Swindon Town go top in the first divisions.

Southern Premier Division

Billericay Town 0-2 Hashtag United Plymouth Argyle 2-1 Milton Keynes Dons

Hashtag United scored twice in the last 11 minutes to win an Essex derby at Billericay Town. Wiktoria Fronc made the breakthrough and Malika Apindia sealed the win when heading home a corner from Freda Ayisi. The result put Hashtag in second place, goal-difference behind leaders Ipswich Town but having played two games more.

Plymouth Argyle moved out of the relegation zone at the expense of Gwalia United, with victory over basement side Milton Keynes Dons in front of 864 fans at Home Park. The Pilgrims struck twice in quick succession through Ella Stephens and Taya Pomphret, Mollie Knox giving the MK Dons hope when halving the deficit a dozen minutes from time.

Division 1 South East

Actonians 1-1 AFC Sudbury London Bees 1-2 Chatham Town London Seaward 0-1 Norwich City

Chatham Town took top spot from Real Bedford when taking all three points at London Bees. Lottie Sharp gave them a first-minute lead, Amelia Woodgate doubling the advantage early in the second half, with Chloe Tambula’s reply not coming until added time.

Eva Frazzoni gave AFC Sudbury the lead at third-placed Actonians but the hosts rescued a point with substitute Molly O’Reilly’s dramatic stoppage-time free kick.

Norwich City jumped three places to fifth with the only goal of the game at London Seaward, where Hope Strauss converted a penalty a few minutes before the break.

Division 1 South West

Bristol Rovers 2-1 Abingdon United Portishead Town 1-4 Worthing  Swindon Town 2-2 Bridgwater United

Swindon Town’s 2-2 home draw with Bridgwater United was enough to put them top but morning leaders AFC Bournemouth have five games in hand. They had gone two up through Annie Colston and Libby Davies but Bridgwater bounced back in the second half, Bethany Everson’s goal added on in the 98th-minute by Hollie Tappin.

Bristol Rovers came from behind to beat Abingdon United 2-1, with an Emily Bayliss 90th-minute effort from range. Mollie Dyer’s early opener for the away side had been swiftly cancelled out when Meg Jarvis took advantage of a defensive error.

Worthing also won despite conceding first at Portishead Town, Tierney Scott equalising then in seven second-half minutes Lauren Amerena, Georgia Tibble and Rebecca Bell all netted for the Rebels.

All other games fell to the weather, including the Adobe Women’s FA Cup 3rd Round tie between Nottingham Forest and Burnley.
