FAWPL and Around the Regions: Rovers and Spurs Set for Play-Off

Blackburn Rovers and Tottenham Hotspur have taken the Northern and Southern titles and will meet in a play-off for the FAWPL Championship and the right to apply for promotion to WSL 2. Gillingham and Guiseley come up from the Regional Division 1s with Chichester close behind and either Loughborough Foxes or Wolves to follow, while Barnsley, Bolton, Burton Albion, Haringey Borough, Leyton Orient, Sheffield United and Southampton climb out of the Regional Leagues. Lewes beat Huddersfield 4-0 for the Plate and Spurs edged Blackburn 2-1 in the Reserves Cup final. Six Hotshots tables, complete to 3 May, run across the spread, with Gillingham’s Felicity Gibbons top of the lot on thirty-one and Crystal Palace’s Gemma Bryan leading the Southern division on twenty-eight.
