F U L L - T I M E
A sterling effort from Tooting Bec but we all know the quality in this Orient team.
We're going to close down this episode of Live-Text now. Many thanks to all of you who joined in and helped us beat our record of viewers. We'll be back next week with the Capital Cup (Greater London cup competition) tie away at Chessington. 'See' you then!

With just a few minutes to go, The Os are guaranteed top spot by a clear three points and with a game/s in hand, no matter what other teams do.
81 mins

A real blasteroo! Sammy Rowland picks up the ball at the half way line, carries it forwards and hits one so hard that even the away fans applauded.
76 mins
Sammy Rowland, Steph McCaffrey and Esme Lancaster rejoin battle and repalce Lois Heuchan and Gemma Baker plus one other.
73 mins
Lois Heuchan has shown some excellent skills, speed and fitness, she's a real find.
72 mins
Lola Duroyaiye takes a heavy knock, it looks painful but she's up and carrying on.
71 mins
Poppy Binding is showing up as the main threat in the 2nd half, she tries a worldie and nearly gets her reward.
68 mins
Lois Heuchan takes a corner but the visitors clear the danger.
65 mins
An air of "the game's over" has crept into proceedings. O's will have the next two games in mind - A Capital Cup tie against Chessington and then the big FA Cup Tie against the professionals of AFC Bournemouth. Nobody wants to get injured.
61 mins
Poppy Binding finds a good position but the keeper saves her on-target effort.
57 mins
Lucy Porter has a try but the keeper is equal to it.
51 mins
!!! G O A L !!!
Poppy Binding shows her class after the Bec keeper kept out her first effort but had no chance with the follow-up when Lucy Porter teed up Poppy from wide.

H A L F - T I M E
Tooting Bec made a good fist of this game but a change of strategy after the half-hour mark seems to have broken their resistance. Three goals between the 39th and 45th minute have made the difference.
45 + 1 mins
!!! G O A L !!!
Ellie Thomas Leek rounds off an impressive first half by slotting home a penalty after Bec hauled down Lois Huechan who was bearing down on goal.
45 mins
Bec's keeper makes another good save, this time from Wiki Fronc.

41 mins
!!! G O A L !!!
Steph McCaffrey chases down a long ball from Grace Gillard and shows her class in slotting home No 4.
39 mins
!!! G O A L !!!
It seems the change of strategy is paying off as Sammy Rowland finds enough space to open her account and hit O's third from a cross by Ellie Thomas Leek.
37 mins
On cue! Steph McCaffrey escapes her marker and hits a drive which the Bec keeper does very well, at full stretch, to keep out. Lois Heuchan also gets a chance from the left but it's wide of the post.
32 mins
The game has changed in the last few minutes, Bec are either pushing forward harder or Orient are letting them come on to them in order to find a bit of space in attacking areas... Not that coach Stephens would ever let anyone know!
30 mins
That's the half-hour mark and things are looking pretty good. We also have a new record of 286 people following along at the moment. Many thanks to you all.
29 mins
Sammy Rowland escapes her marker for a split second and gets a shot away, it's a little too high on this occasion.
28 mins
Bec mount a strong attack and get a high ball into the danger area, Lola Duroyaiye jumps high to collect it.
28 mins
It looks like Bec have identified Steph McCaffrey and Sammy Rowland as the danger people and have denied them space to do much. Probably a wise precaution.
25 mins
We don't mention them much but Hayley West and Grace Gillard as centre backs look determined to maintain the ever lengthening string of clean sheets. Even if Bec get through them, there's Lola Duroyaiye between the sticks to keep marauders at bay.
23 mins
Lois Heuchan starts to add to the attack, this time up the left side, Kallie Balfour stays back.
19 mins
So close! Sammy Rowland hits the post with the keeper beaten

14 mins

00 mins
We're off and playing, O's their normal red kit.
Live Text will start here
The moment the game kicks off, all the action will be posted here ↑.
It's kick off time
As usual, there's a bit of to-ing and fro-ing and general faffing about, we always seem to get started about 5 minutes late. - Today will be no exception.
3 mins to kick off
Pre-match procedures ongoing now. We have a new record of 116 followers on this channel already, we hadn't reached 100 prior to kick-off before so thank you all for your company. Maybe we can beat our mid-game record of 229 people today!
10 mins to kick off
Warm-ups nearing completion, the teams eyeing each other from opposite ends of the pitch. Several years of "keen competition" between these sides - not that many of the current Orient side will have been around to experience the determined spirit these games have usually produced.
20 mins to kick off
Interesting Orient line-up today with recent signing Lois Heuchan in at her favourite No 3 position, Lois may well be the fastest player in the league (10k in 36 minutes!!!) and is described by her team mates as "unstoppable". Kallie Balfour makes the starting line-up, probably reflecting her excellent appearances recently. If she plays at right-back then the rearguard looks impregnable with Hayley West and skipper Grace Gillard in the middle. No sign of Emily Dilliway today.

Ellie's first half penalty
WE can see young Eva Carvalho here in a green "corporate" track-suit so maybe a late addition to the sub's bench?
O's bench has some frightening attacking ability in Poppy Binding, Lucy Porter and Georgia Griffin. They'll be itching to get on the field.
O's super fan Dennis Barefield enjoying a small pre-match snack at Cheshunt today.
This afternoon's team sheet
Originally booked to be played at Brisbane Road, this game will now go ahead at Orient Women's regular home pitch at the Cheshunt stadium, just a few minutes' walk from Theobalds Grove station on the Overground's Weaver line. Don't go to Cheshunt station, it's much farther away.
We hear from the folks at Tooting Bec WFC that they have been working on a low-block format in an attempt to negate the free scoring Orient forwards. That seems sensible in view of this season's records. Bec are renown as tough opposition, they give you nothing, this game will be no exception.
Our dedicated correspondent Larry Peterson will be at the ground, we'll be publishing his comments before and during the game (see above). Today will be a 2pm kick off.
