They placed a close 3rd behind the big city clubs of Birchfield (Birmingham), who had home advantage and City of Manchester.

Under normal circumstances the Windsor Slough Eton & Hounslow (WSEH) A.C. Ladies would be disappointed to not to win a Southern League match. However, as the only team in Saturday’s fixture that also contested a National Junior League over the weekend, WSEH were at ease with their runners up slot to the host club, Guildford.
