The visit of an improving Stevenage, with former Lioness Sian Lingham in charge, was expected to be somewhat tougher and so it proved.

The useful part
For the third weekend running I made it to an Actonians game and one which was much more competitive than the previous two. Those games had both ended in wins and had generated a whopping 19 goals for and two against. The visit of an improving Stevenage, with former Lioness Sian Lingham in charge, was expected to be somewhat tougher and so it proved.
How it works
- As someone who spent the first 40 years of his football-watching life utterly devoted to the R's, this will be a very strange afternoon for me.
- I won't go into all the details but it was an open game with decent chances at both ends but the A's superior attacking power saw them ultimately win 3-1 to go top after London Bees could only draw 3-3 with...
- Like Stevenage, they're newly promoted but struggling and another three points should be expected.
- After the game, I got to meet married couple Jim and Gina McCaffrey who are the main people putting the money into Actonians this season.
- both successful athletes in their youth, they, alongside daughter Steph, possess formidable sporting and business nous which will hopefully take the club to new heights.
What to take from it
It was also announced this week that the FAWNL Cup game between QPR and Actonians will take place at Loftus Road on 27 September. THE WEEK AHEAD The biggest game of the week would appear to be the Premier League derby clash on Friday night between Brentford and Chelsea. A point apart in the top six, the Bees often do well in these games and have only lost three of the 10 league games against them since joining the top flight in 2021.
