Does this make the double double relegation highly unlikely?

It's certainly a step in the right direction, particularly as they seem to be maintaining the long established women's team's knack of beating the teams in the top places of the table.

Sadly the threat of non-existence for both men and women's teams next season remains just as large.

Presume the ladies team might well end up being folded before the men, as all money is currently needed elsewhere and every little helps.

They looked toothless up front, but fairly good defensively when I saw them against London Lionesses.

I notice the captain hasn't played since she went off in that game, and she looked to be our best defender.

The Durham and Watford games are huge for the women!

That also (on paper) looks a tough run in for Lewes (and with a game fewer) and Watford's looks pretty tough as well.

Magic Number for the Women to stay up (and eliminating GD):

London City: (3 games left) 4 points guarantees safety (currently on 22 points)
Durham: (3 games left - incl v Reading) 6 points guarantees safety (currently on 20 points)
Reading: (4 games left) 8 points guarantees safety (currently on 18 points)

Lewes (3 games left) MAX POINTS AVAILABLE - 25 (currently on 16 points)
Watford (4 games left, incl v Reading) MAX POINTS AVAILABLE - 24 (currently on 12 points)

IF Reading beat both Durham and Watford, then Lewes would need to win all of their last 3 games to have a chance of overtaking Reading.

Dai has ruined the women's team even more than the men. 8 years in the WSL, players like Kirkby and Williams featuring. Now a part time team fighting not to fall into non League. Shameful.

[Royals and Racers]

Next up for the relegation threatened Royals is a home Championship match on Easter Sunday 31st March against Blackburn at the SCL stadium. KO is 12pm( clocks went forward an hour earlier in the day). Match is NOT live on FA player.
