Premier Division

Bracknell Royals could do nothing to stop the charge of 10 man Winkfield as the visitors managed to overcome the home side 3-2. Ed Carpenter (2) and Dan Sleet scored the all important goals for Winkfield with their keeper making some superb saves during play to deny Royals any points today.

Crowthorne were out shot by the odd goal in 7 as Finchampstead Athletic took all 3 points and a 4-3 win. Dale Clark (2) and Steve Morris netted for Crowthorne, with Hunter and Swabey both netting braces for Finch.

Green Man and Athletico Priestwood topped the table last season and both admittedly are struggling thus far this year. The game was end to end but with few chances arising thanks to the 2 defences. The game ended 0-0 with centre back Dave Matthews named as man of the match for his efforts.

Bracknell Manics kept William Twigg to just 1 goal in the 1st half, but composure left them in the 2nd as Twigg turned on the offensive and smashed a further 8 goals with no reply to win the fixture 9-0. Ref Kieron Brown kept the game in order, but it was Gary Sergeant (5), Ryan Smith (3) and Mick Havermans whom netted the all important goals to extend the lead on the table for the Twigg. Paul Denman and the whole of the William Twigg side would like to offer their condolences and support to fellow players Jamie and Mark Docherty whose father, Ian Docherty sadly lost his battle with cancer late on Saturday night.

1st Division

Winkfield Sports charge toward the peak of the table as they out shot Keltar Old Boys 7-2 today. Having started with 10 men, Winkfield managed to scramble a 2-1 lead to the interval when they were joined by their 11th man. This made all the difference in the 2nd half as the home side went on to score a further 5 goals to seal the victory. Lloyd Twyman (2), Mark Brown, Glen Holden, Adam Sharp, Ian Fellows and Scott Benison all netted for Winkfield with Richard Stokoe and Russell Henson on target for Keltar.

2nd Division

In the solitary game of the division, Prince hosted Bracknell Galaxy and were not shown any mercy as the visitors ran away with a 7-2 win. Joe Brockbank (4), Steve Champion (2) and Daniel Howard all netted for Galaxy as they put in a strong performance in bad conditions.

3rd Division

Finchampstead Athletic Sun B capitalised upon the slow start from FC Muchachos de Bracknell as the home side went on to take the game 4-1. Out numbering the Muchachos back line, Finch managed to bag goals from Phil Hemmings (2) and Dan McCarthy, whilst Muchachos could only reply the once through Paul Rosier.

Inter took an early lead against The Bridge, but this was short lived as the visitors eventually left the match with all 3 points having taken a 4-2 win. David Bird and Rick Shaw netted for Inter, but Dave Brown and a Jamie Tucker hat-trick was enough to seal the win for The Bridge.

4th Division

Loddon Valley Rangers take another 3 points this week as they saw off AFC Farmer 2-1 in a very close and competitive match. Tommy Onions put the visitors ahead only for the comeback kings to deny Farmer the 3 points by snatching 2 goals late on through Jake Wheeler and Matthew Jennings. Rides United Res bag a further 3 points as they shot down Axfield with a score of 4-2. Martin Foster, Mark Smith, Dan Morrison and John Downes all netted for Rides, with Callum Weekly and a Derren Fox volley accounting for the Axfield goals.

Bracknell Town & District Senior League Cup 2nd Round

In the only game to go ahead in this competition today, Bagshot Road took on Sandhurst Social for the right of passage to round 3. Bagshot took the game by the scruff of the neck and made their ambitions clear by winning the game comfortably 5-0. On his first start of the season, Tom Williams grabbed a hat trick with Rob Turner and John Hindley netting the other 2.

Bracknell Town & District Junior League Cup 3rd Round

Keephatch Park saw off the advances of Cable & Wireless as the home side saw off the visitors by 3-1. Steve Burshill, Phil Tiernan and Mark Copperthwaite all netted for Keephatch to send them through to the 4th round. Tim Lynam was on target for Cable, but this was not enough on the day.

The Old Manor and Queens Head battled hard for the complete 90 minutes as either team could have grabbed the winner in this 1-0 game. With chances going begging it was inevitable that The Old Manor would eventually hit the back of the net, and they did this through a John Mead header. This places The Old Manor in the last 8 of the competition.

Winkfield Res saw off 10 man BMW as the visitors continue to struggle for players due to injury. Paul Sharman did net a goal for BMW, but having missed a penalty proved to be costly for the visitors. Winkfield took advantage of the extra man and netted through Ben Webber, Stu Prendergast and Ben Shaw to book their place in round 4 with a 3-1 win.

AC Woodcutters condemned FC A1 Group to their first loss this season as the home side managed to hold off the attack and play out a 2-1 victory. Chris Bolt and Sean Watson netted for the home side with Paul Hicks replying for FC A1.

FC Fernhill have set out their stall and are looking to win the trophy back to back as they continue through the rounds without trouble. This week they faced Bracknell Manics Res and went to town as they won the fixture 7-0 with Matt Lindstrom, Jamie Osbourne, Scott Whiting, Rob Musson and Ben Knight (3) all on target. With only 2 games left to reach the final it looks that Fernhill could be serious contenders to hold onto the trophy for the 2nd year.
