Ladies' Preview

The Ladies 1s welcome league leaders Wallingford 1s in one of the weekend's biggest fixtures. The 1s sit third and come into the game on the back of three consecutive wins. Wallingford are yet to lose in the league this season, so it'll be a tough test, but the 1s have been free-scoring recently, and will be keen to make home advantage count against the side at the top.

The Ladies 2s also have top spot to protect as they host Staines 2s, who sit fifth. The 2s have won their last four league games, scoring 19 goals across that run, with C. Harris continuing to lead the division's goalscoring charts. They'll want to keep that momentum going and hold off the chasing pack as they look to extend their lead at the summit.

The Ladies 3s travel to Aylesbury 3s looking to build on their move to the top of the table. The 3s have scored 13 goals across their last two games, including last weekend's emphatic 8-0 win over Enigma 1s. Aylesbury currently sit ninth, but the 3s will need to take their recent attacking form on the road and make sure they come away with the points.

The Ladies 4s host Milton Keynes 3s in an important meeting near the bottom of the table. The 4s sit 12th, with their visitors just one place above them in 11th, making this a good opportunity to close the gap and pick up some valuable points. After last weekend's defeat, the 4s will be keen to put in a strong performance against a side close to them in the standings.

The Ladies 5s travel to Milton Keynes 4s, with the 5s 11th and their hosts 13th. Last weekend's 3-1 win away at Oxford 7s gives the side something to build on, and they'll be looking to follow it up with another positive result. With both teams looking to climb the table, important points are up for grabs.

Men's Preview

The Men's 1s host Eastcote 2s, with the 1s seventh and their visitors third. The 1s pushed league leaders Henley 2s close in a 3-2 defeat last weekend, and will need another strong performance against a side firmly in the top three. Home advantage (in this case, shouts of 'WHERE'S IT GOING' and 'SHOW HIM THE CHEESE' from the sideline) gives the 1s a chance to turn that encouraging display into points and start climbing the table.

The Men's 2s travel to Banbury 4s looking to extend their excellent run of form. Third-placed 2s have won their last three league games, scoring 16 goals along the way. N. Jones has contributed six of those goals, while S. Chignall has also found the net in all three matches. Sixth-placed Banbury will provide another test away from home, but the 2s will be keen to keep the goals coming and strengthen their position near the top.

The Men's 3s face a tough away trip to second-placed Tring 1s. The 3s sit fifth and will be looking to bounce back after last weekend's 4-0 defeat to Oxford 5s. The 3s had won their two previous games before that setback, and a positive result against another side near the top would be a good way to get back on track.

The Men's 4s round off the weekend with a trip to Aylesbury 4s, with the 4s 10th and their hosts ninth. After a narrow 2-1 defeat to Tring 2s last weekend, the 4s will be hoping to turn a close performance into points against a side just one place above them. A win would help the 4s make up ground and move closer to the middle of the table.
