Portsmouth two points clear at the top of the Hampshire Women’s League after hammering Romsey

They are the only side in the table still boasting a 100 per cent record after an 8-0 romp at Romsey gave them a fifth successive victory.

Jen Smith opened the scoring and Jenny Turvey doubled the lead from one of many penalty corners Portsmouth won in the first half.

Eleanor Skinner and Smith extended the lead to 4-0 before Portsmouth keeper Harriet Read was called on to make her first and only save of the half.

As the rain lashed down in the second period, the hosts were guilty of some bad challenges, and Portsmouth’s Lauren Stewart was shown a green card for an over-zealous tackle.

Turvey also picked up a two-minute suspension for dissent.

Nadia Moore preserved Portsmouth’s clean sheet with a goal-line stoppage, before she joined in the goal spree at the other end.

Further strikes came from Stewart (2) and Turvey as Portsmouth opened up a two-point lead over Wimborne, whose own 100 per cent start was ended in a 2-2 draw with Andover.

Portsmouth 2nds suffered their fourth Division 1 defeat in five games when they went down to leaders Fareham 2nds.

The only goal of the game arrived in the 65th minute.

The whole Portsmouth team impressed with special mentions for Katie Juckes and Emily Crowcroft for their intensity at the back throughout the whole game.

Callie Moore and Beatrice Gall did well in creating attacks.

After four successive losses, Portsmouth 3rds claimed their first Division 3 victory of 2020/21.

And what a win it was - Nicky Puckett and Hannah Howard both hitting hat-tricks in a 8-1 hammering of Winchester 3rds.

Louisa McKay and Kate Mason were also on target, with the 3rds emulating the 1sts in netting four times in each half.

Michell Hughes struck the only goal as Portsmouth 4ths remained joint-top of Division 6.

She deflected in a shot from Zoe Main to give her side a fourth straight win, 1-0 at a Trojans 6ths XI who did not have a goalkeeper.

Player of the match was jointly-awarded to Emma Japes and Kathryn Puttock for their great defending.

Portsmouth are second in the table behind Alton 3rds on goal difference.

A first half goal from Evie Chapman gave Portsmouth 5ths a 1 -0 home victory over Southampton University 3rds.

The students improved as an attacking force in the second half, but keeper Helen Perriam kept a clean sheet with some fine saves.

Portsmouth 6ths collected a third Division 7 victory in four attempts.

Trailing at the interval, they hit back to win 2-1 at Romsey 4ths with goals from Liberty Brock - her first of the season - and Florence DiMarco.
