League leaders ASCOT UNITED strengthened their title push with a last minute winner to beat WOKINGHAM & EMMBROOK.

It seemed as if the Sumas would earn an impressive away point to ease their relegation fears, but they suffered a heartbreaking end to the match.

But with the game in the 93rd minute and with time running out, the Yellas found a vital winner when Marcus Mealing found Rob Gerrard who smacked the ball past the goalkeeper to break the deadlock in the dying seconds.

Ascot are eight points clear at the top of the table after 24 matches.
