Thames Valley Division Two

BERKS COUNTY managed to add a valuable point to their tally with a home draw to Slough Heating Laurencians Reserves.

In one of only two matches in the league to survive the weather, County ensured they moved further away from the bottom of the table by picking up their second draw of the league campaign.

Combined Counties Division One

BERKS COUNTY missed out on moving up the table after they lost away to FC Deportivo Galicia.

Berks County’s trip away to FC Deportivo Galicia was one of the only matches in the division to survive the freezing weather conditions.

The Swords did make a superb start against the league leaders and took the lead through Les Sackey.

However, Deportivo hit back with three goals to ensure they maintained their spot at the top of the table with a 3-1 victory.

The defeat, which is just County’s sixth in 21 games, leaves them in a strong position in fourth on 37 points.

The two sides meet each other again this weekend when Berks host the table toppers.

Friendly

After READING CITY’s home match with Windsor was called off late in the day after a pitch inspection ruled the playing surface to be unfit, the Cityzens took on Combined Counties Division One side WOODLEY UNITED in a friendly match.

In a strong contest between the two teams, the Kestrels went in front after Connor Suckling opened the scoring before Reading levelled the game before the break.

Woodley retook the lead in the second-half when Caleb Lucas scored, but the Cityzens again equalised to ensure the match ended 2-2.

Reading City hope to continue their league campaign this Saturday away at Oxhey Jets, who are currently bottom of the table with eight points from 16 games leaving them in a tricky situation.

Meanwhile, United will host British Airways on Saturday. Woodley’s opponents are in 10th position on 28 points, while the Kestrels are two places behind but are on the same points having played one match more.
