Kettering Town moved into second place in Division One North and within five points of the leadership, with three games in hand, after they defeated Ipswich Wanderers 2-0 with goals from Kelly Rust and Lucy Piggott.

The only other game to survive the weather was in Division One South and it saw Brentwood Town go third by beating Leighton Linslade 4-0. Kerri Thomas, Lucy Faraday, Nicole Manning and Danielle Butler were all on target for Brentwood.

London & South East League
Maidstone Town moved into the top three in the Premier Division as they ran out 4-1 winners away to Wingate & Finchley. In the other game, Wandgas maintained their climb towards mid-table security by beating Crawley Wasps 2-0.

North East League
The North East League was again very badly affected by the weather with only two of the scheduled fixtures being completed, both of which were in the Southern Division.

Beverley Town won 1-0 away to Wakefield Res, a result which takes them into third place, whilst Keighley moved further away from the bottom two places with a 10-1 success over Harrogate Railway.

With all of their other rivals not in action, Mossley Hill took advantage by beating Preston North End
1-0 and, in doing so, stretched their lead at the top of the Premier Division to six points.

In the solitary match to go ahead in Division One North, Morecambe ran out 5-1 winners away to Blackpool Wren Rovers Res and the result takes the division's only unbeaten team to within two points of the joint leaders.

There was also only one game played in Division One South but again it affected the top positions. Leaders Liverpool Feds Res have edged a further point ahead after they battled out a 1-1 draw with fourth placed Winsford.

South West League
Keynsham Town Development recorded a 2-0 win away to Yeovil Town Res in the Second Round of the Bristol Soccerworld Cup. Torpoint Athletic are also through to the last eight after winning an entertaining affair 6-3 at Downend Flyers. Cleeve West Town meanwhile progressed to the quarter finals by scoring seven without reply against Swindon Town Res.

Saltash Utd stepped up their title challenge in the Premier Division with a 4-0 victory over Weymouth.

One match was played in the Eastern Division and it saw Cirencester Town extend their lead at the top to five points with a 5-0 win away to Winscombe Res.

Southern Region League
Shanklin climbed four places in the Premier Division table to fifth with a 2-0 victory over MK Wanderers in the only game to beat the weather.

Only a single match managed to go ahead in Division One, Southampton Women winning their local derby 2-0 against Southampton Saints Res to keep up their good run of results, which takes them into second place.

West Midlands League
One game was played in the Premier Division on Sunday and it produced a good result for leaders Solihull Ladies as second placed Worcester City went down to a 1-0 defeat at home to Bradwell Belles.

However the result of the day arguably went to Rugeley Ladies in Division One North. The Staffordshire had been beaten in each of their opening eight league games but they got off the mark on the weekend with a fine 2-1 victory over fourth placed Bedworth Utd.

Birmingham Athletic strengthened their position at the top of Division One South, going seven points clear with a 4-2 win away to Knowle. Leamington Lions meanwhile stepped up their challenge and went fourth by beating Redditch Utd 3-0.
