Commentary
With the title secured, Arsenal were able host their final match at the superb Highbury Stadium with 400 spectators, against the 'Belles', and remained undefeated after the 2-1game. FA Womens supremo, Kelly Simmons then presented the League trophy to captain Sian Williams, a third major trophy for
the team this season.

Doncaster should finish the season next Sunday, with a special day for captain, Gillian Coultard who will retire from playing after the match, to concentrate on coaching.

At the lower end of the table, the relegation of Liverpool was confirmed during the week, and Millwall are getting close to the drop, after the defeat at home.
