Premier Division

Athletico Priestwood are struggling for form as they went down 3-0 to Finchampstead Athletic 3-0. New signing Kalin Krumov opened the scoring with Harry Swabey and James Campbell netting the other goals for the visitors.

Bracknell Royals could do nothing to stop the rampant Crowthorne (the prince) from smashing them 12-1. With players returning to the team from injury, Crowthorne were always on top and controlled the match throughout. Dale Clark (6), Paul Graham (2), Stuart Kent (2) and Daniel Phillips (2) all netted for the visitors on this occasion.

Emmbrook Inn are still struggling to field a full team as they were yet again forced to play an outfield player between the sticks as their keeper is out injured. William Twigg made full use of this and went on to win the game 10-4 putting pressure on Emmbrook from the off. Scott Williams (2), Danny Oliphant, Luke Carswell, Gary Sergeant (3), Joel Havermans and Micky Havermans (2) were all on target for Twigg, with Paul Tubb, Scott (2) and an OG accounting for the Emmbrook tally.

Green Man and Wokingham United battled well in their match as the conditions were tough. Nick Matthews and James Rodgers scored for Green Man, but they could not stop the advances of Pat Selby whom scored 5 goals to give Wokingham United the 3points in a 5-3 win. Wokingham profited greatly in the final 10 minutes when the Green Man heads dropped, allowing Selby to score the all important winning goals.

1st Division

Keltar Old Boys saw off Sandhurst Social by the odd goal as they outstruck their opponents 4-3. Andy Withers, Martin Bickley, Rob Candish and Chris White scoring for the home side.

Sunninghill Athletic and FC Priestwood shared the spoils as 8 goals were scored in this match, with the score ending 4-4. FC Priestwood led from the off leaving Sunninghill to play catch up, which is exactly what they did as 2 late goals saw the scores level out before the final whistle. Alex Eastman and Ryan Webb both scored braces for Priestwood, with Tony May, Adam Knibbs and Marvin Knight (2) replying for Sunninghill.

Winkfield Sports and Rides United shared a goalfest, with Winkfield coming out on top 7-5. With Rides leading 4-3 at the break Winkfield had it all to play for, and that they did with Mark Brown, Lloyd Twyman and Adam Sharp (5) all netting the goals. Sharp could have had a double hat trick had his penalty not have been saved. Ashley Partridge also scored 5 goals today for Rides, but this in the end was not enough to take any points from Winkfield.

Woodley Hammers came under the cosh for a lot of the game against The Metropolitan, but still came away with all 3 points in a 3-1 win. Sam Cialis put Woodley ahead with their ‘wonder’ goal from 30 yards, having come off the crossbar and crossing the line. Jason Day levelled the scores for the Metropolitan before the break. Against the run of play, Woodley netted twice more through Sam Cialis and Neal Robinson to take all 3 points at the final whistle.

3rd Division

Leaders continue their good run of form by seeing off the home side Finchampstead Athletic Sunday B. In what was a very one sided game the visitors took advantage within 5 minutes to put Finch under the cosh early on. Rob Wilcock (4), Tom Hobbs and Andy Wells helped Leaders on their way to a 6-0 victory, which could have been more if not for some poor finishing.

4th Division

Loddon Valley Rangers overcame opponents The Birch as the home side went on to win the fixture 5-3. Duncan Cantwell was instrumental in assisting Loddon to the victory as he scored 4 of their goals, 2 of which were penalties, with Matthew Bradbrook netting the 5th. Having taken a 2-0 lead to the interval, Loddon soon found themselves 5-0 up in the 2nd half, capitalising on mistakes from the Birch. With 25 minutes remaining, The Birch at this point for some reason decided to start playing and had several attempts on goal. Simon Edwards, Tim Davies and a last gasp attempt from Charlie Turner after his missed penalty accounted for the Birch goals but no further strikes could be finished and the points went the way of Loddon Valley.

Junior League Cup 2nd Round

Keephatch Park saw off Victoria Arms 5-2 to progress into round 3 of the cup. Davey (3), Phil Tiernan and Adam Lawson accounted for the Keephatch goals, with Elliot Wakeford netting both for Victoria.

Cable & Wireless reached the 3rd round of the junior league cup with a hard-fought victory over division two strugglers Prince FC. Cable were eventually rewarded for their good attacking play towards the end
of the first half, when Craig Murphy rifled a penalty into the roof of the net. It was Murphy again who slotted home from the spot after Alex Croxford was brought down in the area ten minutes into the second
half. Cable continued to create chances, with the again impressive Mike Darby forcing Prince into making some superb goal-line clearances. Final score, Cable & Wireless 2, Prince FC 0.

Axfield found themselves on the wrong side of an 11-0 scoreline as The Old Manor went to town and demolished the home side. Billy Golding, Paul Brady and Steven Boyd were all contesting for top scorer as they all rifled in hat tricks with Alex Webber not far behind netting twice.

Queens Head advance through after knocking out 4th division Bracknell Badgers with a score of 5-2. Badgers took the lead through Stuart Gillet, but were pressured into an equaliser direct from a corner by Kieron Painter on the stroke of half time. Into the 2nd half and Painter grabbed his 2nd with Dave Pye, Carl Ellaway and John Allen also finding the net to see off the Badgers 2nd strike from Gillet.

FC Muchachos de Bracknell battled hard today and were unlucky not to get anything from the game having a penalty waved away against Warfield Utd. Warfield stuck well and Alex Mellor (3), Richie Cohen and Nick Shears all netted in the 5-1 victory.

AFC Farmer were outplayed as the visitors and last years finalists Finchampstead Ath Sun Res won the tie 8-1. Peter Edwards netted for Farmer, but James Townsend (3), Kieron Best (2), Rob Dangerfield, Ian Rose and Darren Wilcox saw the Finch side through to round 3.

Bracknell Galaxy were outdone today as 4th division AFC Beechfleet ran away 3-1 winners in this tie. Craig Newell netted a 30 yard strike for Galaxy, but Liam Sherry and Danny Clifford (2) replied for Beechfleet. Beechfleet keeper Michael Dellar was also a big part in the game as he kept Galaxy at bay with several fine saves during the match.

Rides United Res also bow out of the cup as they were outdone by Winkfield Res 3-1. Ricky Davis netted for Rides, with Kevin Delaney, Nick Mullet and Ben Shaw all scoring for Winkfield.

BMW played poorly but still managed to come away with a 2-0 win against The Bridge during their game today. With the conditions making it hard for both side, BMW capitalised as Rory McGill and Matt Ayres netted to see the away side continue into round 3.

3M came from behind 3 times, until they were finally seen off 4-3 by AC Woodcutters. In what was an end to end game, Chris Bolt (3) and Adrian Lewis netted for the Woodcutters, with Martin Earl (2) and an OG accounting for the 3M goals.

FC A1 Group saw off the advances of Atletico Reading as the home side won the tie 3-0 with goals from Phil Ollive, Steve Bland and Adam Cornell.

Inter were outdone today as visitors Dukes Head won the game comfortably 6-0. Gary Porter, John Wright, Grant Pagdan, Stuart Hallaway (2) and Danny McCloud all on target for Dukes.

William Twigg Res exit the cup after Red Star saw off the home side 3-1. Peter Socolovski scored either side of the half and Chris Low also netted to account for the Red Star goals.

Cup holders FC Fernhill progress through to round 2 after seeing off Ashridge Park 2-1. Matt Lindstrom and Rob Musson netted the goals for Fernhill, with Ben Pike scoring for Ashridge.
