Arsenal are English League champions, following the 3-0 win at Charlton. The 'gunners' were wearing their gold shirts for this match, and it was a much
improved performance compared with recent weeks, when last years treble winners lost out in 3 cup competitions. The consolation for winning the league is not just another trophy in the cabinet but another chance to play in the UEFA Champions league next season.

The squad have also been invited to USA, sometime in June to play the Cyber Rays, but this will be at a neutral venue.

Doncaster Belles are secure in the runners-up spot once again, and will want to go one better in the FA Cup Final on May 6th.

The two relegated clubs, will be replaced by Fulham and Birmingham City.
