TLFG: 7-13 September 2026

The useful part

I'll keep this preamble brief as I've got to get ready for work, but how have you been? In the last piece I mentioned how I had an American friend coming to town and as a result I wouldn't be able to go to Actonians ' game on Sunday. Well plans slightly changed and I was able to go and I think I'm glad I did.

How it works

• However, something must have gone badly wrong over the summer as they've made a dreadful start and I confidently predicted a big win here.
• Phoebe Williams scored an exquisite hat-trick but she was one of five different players who got on the scoresheet before half-time as Actonians led 8-0 at the break.
• the biggest victory I think I've ever watched by any team at senior level.
• I say I think, because it was a landmark day but not much of a competitive spectacle.
• A little delayed heading out, I arrived at Bedfont Sports about two minutes into the game only to hear stadium announcer Andy P already celebrating the first goal.

What to take from it

Sadly for her, she was eclipsed in the second half by Wiktoria Fronc who added to earlier strikes to end the match with five for the second week running as the A's ended up with a 13-1 win. The result put them second in the group behind QPR who caused an upset by beating Fulham 2-0 in their game. THE WEEK AHEAD Despite there being a round of Premier League and EFL Cup fixtures, there aren't any obvious blockbuster fixtures that really jump out.
