In our weekly feature on the ins and outs in women's sport, Chelsea take over at the top of the Women's Super League while there is also news of a hat-trick in the Women's Big Bash League Down Under.
A week in the world of women's sport
Cricket
The Women's Big Bash League kicked off Down Under a week ago and the Adelaide Strikers and Sydney Thunder are the early front-runners after both won two games over the weekend.
Before we get to those results, it's always nice when a player takes a hat-trick so have a bit of Marizanne Kapp doing the deed for the Sydney Sixers against the Melbourne Stars.
For the record the Sixers won the match by eight wickets, but here's the hat-trick.
But to the pacesetters, Adelaide kicked off their weekend with a three-run win over the Hobart Hurricanes as they just about defended 113 for eight.
They then followed it up with an eight-wicket thrashing of the Perth Scorchers with Sarah Coyte (3/18) and Tahlia McGrath (65 from 46 balls) playing the starring roles.
The Thunder kept pace as they edged the Melbourne Renegades by three runs with Shabnim Ismail taking three for 14, and they then finished a successful weekend with a four-wicket win over the Melbourne Stars as Rachel Priest and Alex Blackwell both scoring 45 as they chased down 141.
So the Thunder won the match, but how about 18-year-old Madeleine Penna - playing in only her second match - taking four for 20 for the Stars?
Here is your WBBL19 table after this weekend's matches... spare a thought for the Stars.
And in case you missed it, The Hundred draft took place last week and England opener Tammy Beaumont will play for the London Spirit, Australia captain Meg Lanning has signed for the Welsh Fire and Australia wicketkeeper Alyssa Healy will don the colours of the Northern Superchargers.
New Zealand's Suzie Bates will join Southern Brave while her compatriots Sophie Devine is off to the Birmingham Phoenix and Sophie Molineux will feature for the Trent Rockets. The South African duo of Dane van Niekerk and Lizelle Lee will represent the Oval Invincibles and Manchester Originals respectively.
Football
Chelsea are the new table toppers in the Women's Super League as they beat West Ham while Manchester City went down against defending champions Arsenal.
The Blues eased to a 3-1 win away from home with Sophie Ingle, Ji So-Yun and Drew Spence hitting back after Adriana Leon gave the Hammers an early lead.
The Gunners edged City 1-0 thanks to Vivianne Miedema's goal just before half-time.
In other results, Manchester United moved up to fourth with a 2-0 at home against Reading, Everton beat Brighton by the same score, Tottenham secured a 2-1 victory away against Bristol City while Liverpool are rooted to the bottom of the standings after going down 2-0 away to Birimingham City.

Golf
South Korean Jang Ha-na won her fifth LPGA Tour trophy when she captured the inaugural BMW Ladies Championship in her home country.
The 27-year-old beat American Danielle Kang on the third sudden-death playoff hole for her first LPGA win since 2017 and the win earns her LPGA Tour Membership again.
"I played to the level of this game which is the best," she said. "I’m also happy that I went into a playoff with one of my closest friends Danielle Kang."
Jin Young Ko is the LPGA Tour's 2019 Rolex Player of the Year after opening up an unassailable lead over Rookie of the Year Jeongeun Lee6 in the standings.

"I am so thankful to win the Rolex Player of the Year award. This was one of the best years of my career and to earn this award is one of the best honors I could ever receive," she said.
"Some of my golf heroes have won this award and I can’t believe that my name is now on the same list. I want to thank God, my family, my friends and my sponsors for believing in me and helping me reach this goal. I can’t wait to see what the future brings for me."
Netball
England duo Geva Mentor and Jo Harten won't feature in the upcoming series against South Africa as they have announced they are taking a six-month break from the full-time Roses programme.
"It has been a whirlwind four years for Geva and Jo," Roses head coach Jess Thirlby said.
"They both were pivotal in England's victory at the Commonwealth Games in 2018 and were a part of the team that secured bronze at the Vitality Netball World Cup in July."

The Belarusian brushed Bertens aside with a 6-4, 6-2 win to secure her third title of the 2019 season with all three coming in China.
"I’m really thankful for this season. It gave me a lot of experience and a lot of lessons," Sabalenka told WTAtennis.com. "I’m just really happy to finish it with a title.
"It gives me more power for the pre-season, and I just believe right now that, no matter what, I have to keep going and fighting. There will always be ups and downs, but during the downs, it’s important to remember that I’ll eventually go back up again.
"It’s really unbelievable, and I’m really happy with this year; it doesn’t matter that there were a lot of bad moments. I’m still really happy."
