Swansea City 1-0 Barry Town)

Stacey John-Davis scored the only goal as Swansea City beat Barry Town to make it two wins from two games. After team-mate Monet Legall was brought down illegally, Stacey stepped up to place the penalty in the top right corner. 

Ellie Lake came very close to setting up a second on more than one occasion, but Jessica Williams' shot went over the bar, and a shot from Stacey went across the goal rather than into it. Swansea dominated and there were more chances for Stacey in particular, but one goal was enough for Swansea to take the points.

Internationals Claire Skinner, Alicia Powe and Emma Beynon were just some of the Welsh players in the starting line-up for Swansea.

Portsmouth 0-1 London Bees

Emma Jones has made an excellent start to the season with Portsmouth, but their unbeaten start came to an end in controversial fashion when they were beaten 1-0 at home by London Bees. Portsmouth were looking the more likely team to score and Emma did come close in the first half, but Sophie Quirk's cross was just out of reach. 

Emma was close again just after the restart, but then came controversy. Portsmouth keeper Hannah Haughton gathered a cross - only for it to be kicked out of her hands. Portsmouth appealed for a free kick, but instead, London Bees were awarded a goal. The shocked home side did their best to find an equaliser, but it was London Bees who took the points.

Oxford United 1-1 Billericay Town

Lily Stevens played 90 minutes as Oxford United preserved their unbeaten status with a draw. Leah Burridge opened the scoring for Oxford in fortunate circumstances early in the first half, when a clearance rebounded off Leah and went into the net. She had the ball in the net for a second time, but the goal was disallowed for a foul. After the break, Oxford conceded for the first time this season when Beau Parker robbed Leah and finished, despite the keeper's getting a hand to it. Oxford's winning start comes to an end, but they remain unbeaten.
