Women's football: Gary Green admits his Bristol Academy side will head for Arsenal this weekend not quite knowing what to expect.

The Gunners had enjoyed the longest unbeaten run in the history of the FA Women's Premier League until their 3-0 defeat to National Division rivals Everton last weekend.

Arsenal's 108-game sequence without a defeat stretched all the way back to October 2003, and Green has his fingers crossed it could be the start of a Manchester United-style wobble from the Londoners.

"It could go one of two ways this weekend – we could go there and nick a 1-0 win or a draw or be on the receiving end of a five or six-goal backlash," said Green.

"We will take heart from our game against them earlier in the season when we took the lead and more than matched them for an hour, although we ended up losing 4-1.

"Arsenal are still a good side – we are under no illusions about that. But they don't have the strength in depth now that they did earlier in the season."

The Academy put any lingering relegation fears to rest last weekend when they beat Liverpool 3-2 on Merseyside, leaving the home club in danger of the drop.

Bristol went 3-0 up thanks to Samantha Chappell's 19th-minute own goal and a double from Gwen Harries. But Danielle Sheen pulled a goal back before the break and Alyson Hastie tucked away a penalty for Liverpool in the final minutes.

"It made the game look a lot closer than it was," said Green. "We murdered them in the first half, hit the bar twice and could have gone in at the interval with five goals. Liverpool can't catch us any more so we are mathematically safe. Now we have to make sure we finish in the top eight."

In the Southern Division, Keynsham Town and Barnet shared the spoils for the second time in a month after a 1-1 draw at the Crown Field. Zoe Lance gave the Bees a 10th-minute lead but Aimee Clark equalised for Keynsham a minute after the interval.

SW Combination leaders QPR maintained their nine-point cushion thanks to a 3-0 win over Team Bath.

Weston St Johns' struggles at the foot of the table continued with a 9-2 mauling at Oxford City. Natalie Cole and Laura Bray scored for Saints.

Stoke Lane Athletic's defensive problems surfaced again as they slipped to a 6-1 defeat at Premier Division leaders Frome Town, Lucy Sparks scoring a second-half consolation goal after Stoke Lane went in 5-0 down at the break.

Oldland Abbotonians' assistant manager Steve Lavis was left fuming after his side's controversial 4-3 defeat to Division One (North) leaders Chippenham Town, a result he acknowledges is likely to have handed the title to the Wiltshire club.

The game was refereed by the same official who sparked a complaint to the league following his handling of Oldland's recent game against Swindon Spitfires. "Sure enough, he gave Chippenham a dodgy free-kick in the last minute and they scored the winner," said Lavis. "He was giving them free-kicks whenever there was a 50-50 challenge in the last 20 minutes."

Goals from Jess Cole, Beth Dale and Gemma Summers had put the Abbots 3-1 up inside 20 minutes and Jo Lenton also rattled the bar.

Downend Flyers thumped Swindon Town Reserves 5-1 thanks to doubles from Katie Michael and Debbie Stacey, plus a goal from Karina Cockell. A powerful drive from Jo Edwards gave Bristol and West a late 1-0 win at Newent in Division One of the Gloucestershire County League.

"The scoreline didn't reflect how we dominated from start to finish, but Jo's strike was a worthy way of winning the match," said Bristol & West boss Rich Stamp.
