Ladies 1s and Men's 1s face league leaders as Men's 3s target top-three breakthrough

Ladies' Preview

The Ladies 1s host league leaders Oxford Hawks 3s in one of the weekend's toughest fixtures. Thame sit fourth and will be looking to close the gap at the top, with C. Sharpe and I. Lamborn both among the division's leading goalscorers. The visitors will provide a stern test, but the home side have plenty of firepower of their own.

The Ladies 2s will be looking to hold on to top spot when they welcome South Berkshire 2s, who sit sixth. C. Harris leads the league's goalscoring charts, and Thame will be keen to keep their strong start going and maintain their advantage at the top of the table.

Second-placed Ladies 3s welcome Enigma 1s, currently sixth, with the chance to strengthen their position near the top of the table. J. Faller is among the league's leading goalscorers, and Thame will be hoping she can help them get the better of an Enigma side looking to climb the standings.

The Ladies 4s travel to fifth-placed Abingdon 2s as they look to improve on their current position of 11th. It is a tough away assignment against a side in the top half, but Thame will be aiming to put in a strong performance and come away with a result.

The Ladies 5s head to Oxford 7s, with Thame seventh and their hosts fourth. Having picked up two wins so far this season, Thame will be looking to add to that tally and close the gap on the sides above them.

Men's Preview

The Men's 1s travel to league leaders Henley 2s, with sixth-placed Thame facing a difficult test away from home. They will be looking to bounce back from last weekend's defeat to Wycombe and take points from a side setting the pace in the division.

The Men's 2s make the trip to bottom side Milton Keynes 3s, with fifth-placed Thame looking to keep their recent run going. They have scored ten goals across their last two wins, with S. Chignall scoring twice in both matches and N. Jones also among the goals.

Fourth-placed Men's 3s travel to Oxford 5s in one of the weekend's key fixtures. Their hosts sit third, so a win would give Thame the chance to move into the top three. H. McEwen scored a hat-trick in his last appearance for the 3s, and Thame will be hoping to carry that attacking threat into a match that could have a real impact on the league table.

The Men's 4s face Tring 2s at home. Thame sit 10th, two places behind their visitors, and will be looking to make home advantage count. With the sides relatively close in the table, a win would be a useful opportunity to climb the standings.
