Fulham Women’s substitute Leila Lister got the only goal of the game at Luton Town to send the Cottagers back to the top of FA WNL Division One South East.

Wolves won at Middlesbrough, putting them within a point of Northern Premier leaders Burnley, with a game in hand. Stoke beat West Brom at the bet365 Stadium, and Liverpool Feds thrashed Sporting Khalsa to climb into the top half.

AFC Wimbledon moved out of the Southern Premier relegation zone with a defeat of Billericay, who are now condemned to last place. Oxford United took the points at Exeter City with a Riva Casley winner, while Lewes and Hashtag shared a goalless draw. AFC Bournemouth won the late kick off 4-1 at Real Bedford 4-1 to increase the threat on the leading pair.

Division One North is still topped by Huddersfield Town following their narrow win over Durham Cestria with a Louise Biggins goal. Leeds United edged Chester-le-Street 3–2 to rise to second place, Ellie White scoring their crucial third goal, and Chorley drew with Norton.

The only Division One Midlands match to go ahead was abandoned in added time due to a serious medical incident, with Sutton Coldfield one up at Northampton Town.

Fulham again replaced Norwich City at the top of Division One South East with the only goal of the game at Luton from substitute Leila Lister, leading by a point with a game in hand. Chatham Town put five goals past struggling AFC Sudbury.

Division One South West leaders Moneyfields also scored five at Abingdon United, but Swindon Town notched double figures against Marine Academy Plymouth – helped by a Libby Davies hat-trick – to stay a point behind with a match to make up.
