Swindon Town Women were crowned league champions after a 2-1 win away at their closest challengers, Moneyfields, Swindon24 reported on 26 April 2026.
The top two sides met in a decisive match, knowing that only a win would guarantee promotion.
The opening period was cagey with few chances. Taylor MacDonald broke the deadlock late in the first half with a goal from distance.
Moneyfields pushed harder after the interval, and Swindon goalkeeper Hannah Cox made several important saves.
Sahara Osborne-Ricketts scored Swindon's second goal late on. Moneyfields pulled one back in stoppage time, but it was too late to change the result.
Under Richard Wood, Swindon Town Women also won the Wiltshire County Cup and reached the fourth round of the Women's FA Cup.
The same report noted that the men's team were inside the top seven of League Two at the time, with a final home match against Chesterfield to come and a finish between fourth and seventh needed for a play-off place.
