Queens Ladies Reach League One Summit with Narrow Win

In the Women’s Super League, Brighton and Aston Villa both aim to improve on their previous seasons, with Brighton predicted to finish 5th and Aston Villa 6th. Brighton, under coach Dario Vidosic, has undergone significant player turnover but strengthened strategically with new signings including Moeka Minami and Maelys Mpomé, while Aston Villa, recovering from a difficult previous season, have bolstered their squad with younger talent and key signings like Jill Baijings. Meanwhile, in The Hundred 2025, Southern Brave and Welsh Fire prepare for a crucial match, with Southern Brave leading the tournament and Welsh Fire relying on key players such as Sophia Dunkley and Tammy Beaumont to improve their standing. Another significant match features Northern Superchargers and Manchester Originals, both vying for playoff spots, with standout players including Beth Mooney and Hollie Armitage expected to influence the outcome. Queens Ladies remain top of the League One standings after securing a vital draw against Glenrothes, despite a game where they were not at their best, highlighting the competitive nature of women's football leagues across different levels.
