The constitution of the Southern Premier for next season.
The number of teams increases from 10 to 12, because the bottom two, Selsey and Badshot Lea, have not been relegated. That is surprising given that they only gathered five points between them this season. The two feeder leagues below had teams with very good records and not promoted, because it’s only one up.

To round things off, the Southern Regional Division One North table was completed this week. Beaconsfield were awarded a home win against Caversham for a match not played in April.
In that division, Shannon Read finished second top scorer with 23 goals from 20 games, behind Penn’s Tara Woodward, who bagged 25 from 26.
In the JPL, the U18s finished a good third, which I think is their highest finish. I wish we had player stats from that league, but we know from the end of season awards that Lillie Bixby was top scorer for the Chairgirls.
As reported before, Kayla Potter was the Golden Boot winner in the Southern Premier with a remarkable 34 goals from 21 games, eight clear of the next player. I am glad, and relieved, to see that she has signed on again. According to the latest Trust W3 report, “the entire elite squad had already signed up for next season with interest from elite players of other clubs expressing an interest to join W3”.
The final tables and stats.

Did Penn’s Tara Woodward used to play for us?
She did, top scorer for a season or two, before retiring from football, but she has returned. She was at Long Crendon last season.

As a reminder if you would like to help the Gasroom sponsor a Womens team player for the 2025/26 season we are pursuing two opportunities depending on how much is raised:
1. Player Sponsorship, ÂŁ750
As part of this sponsorship the Gasroom would receive benefits including x2 season tickets, x2 WWFC tickets, social media & website presence, Sponsors Cup invite, Awards Evening attendance. We would select a player to sponsor at random.
2. Chairgirls Champion, ÂŁ350
The Gasroom would receive benefits including x1 season ticket, x1 WWFC ticket, social media presence, Sponsors Cup invite.
The sponsorship benefits would be offered as giveaways to the Gasroom community throughout the season, and all contributors would receive a star next to their Gasroom username!
Click here to contribute to the sponsorship fund.
At League Tier 5 of the Womens team players need to pay to play, so money raised from sponsorships goes towards enabling this. It helps cover a variety of expenses, ranging from training to the kit they wear.

Can I ask a really dumb question, one that I’m sure has been answered before and so I apologise in advance, but why is the Wycombe Wanderers Womens team called “W3”?
OK on reading that I might have just answered my own question…told it you it was a dumb question. Wycombe Wanderers Women, three W’s right?

Yes, I quite like it but haven’t worked out how to type the little “3” symbol.
The Firsts drew 3-3 in a friendly at Dorking Wanderers yesterday.
One of the goals from Dorking, Puddefoot with a lovely curling shot from the edge of the area.

Last week against Harpenden she sent a long pass to Potter, who finished well. Kayla has scored a few from long balls, headers and shots. She is some player.

We are only getting a replay of one goal a game, not that I am complaining. I only wish W3 would start using their YouTube channel again, so that toxic Twitter is not the only option. Sometimes they are on Insta, it’s a bit hit and miss.
Next up on Sunday should be Maidenhead United, venue TBC.

In the Berks & Bucks Senior Cup, the Chairgirls have been drawn away to Newport Pagnell Town, who beat the Chairgirls 4-3 at home in the First Round last season.
The scheduled date is FA Cup 2QR day, when the Chairgirls enter the competition and which will presumably take precedence.

Chloe Melton is the first new player announcement, a very experienced and proven goalscorer. Chloe started at Reading Academy before playing four seasons for Minot State Uni in North Dakota. She then played for Yeovil Town in the WSL, and has also appeared for Chichester City, Farnham Town and AFC Stoneham. Last season she appeared for Ashford Town and Woodley United, playing for the latter against the Chairgirls in their 3-1 defeat. Chloe also represented GB Police at the European Police Championship in June, in Germany, when GB reached the semi-final.
If she can do it on a cold Tuesday night in North Dakota she can do it anywhere…

That made me laugh. I had to look up Minot and the average high temperature in January is -9C, average low is -19C.
