Combined Counties Division One

BERKS COUNTY strengthened their title charge by getting the better of Brook House.

Hutchinson nudged the Swords in front after 12 minutes and they doubled their tally a minute before half-time when Shaun Wyllie applied a composed finish.

The visitors did manage to get on the scoresheet in the final embers of the game to make it 2-1, but it wouldn’t be enough to prevent County from taking the victory.

Berks are in third position on 49 points from 25 games with games in hand on the two sides above them in the table.

EVERSLEY & CALIFORNIA were edged out in a single goal contest with Cove.

The only goal of the game was scored from the penalty spot as Cove’s 33rd minute strike separated the sides.

The Boars are in 12th position with 32 points from 24 games.

Eversley manager Matty Angell said: “Really disappointing first-half performance from us. Showed more in the second0half and how we haven’t put the ball in the back of the net is beyond me.”

WOODLEY UNITED missed out on the chance to push up the table after their 1-0 loss at Rayners Lane.

It was a 64th minute penalty that earned Rayners the points which keeps the Kestrels in 13th spot.

Woodley manager Jordan Blake said: “Ultimately we didn’t do enough to win the game. I thought we defended very well but unfortunately we didn’t have enough going forward to cause any real threat. There’s a number of things that need to change and I will ensure that will happen.”

Southern Non League Premier South

BRACKNELL TOWN maintained their winning run in the league with an away triumph at Dorchester Town.

Mickel Platt put the Robins ahead after 27 minutes only for the hosts to find an instant response to level the game.

But Bracknell replied again to regain their advantage in the 36th minute when Ben Harris scored with a spectacular solo effort.

Bracknell held on to take all three points which puts them in fourth position on 51 points from 25 games.

Isthmian South Central

BINFIELD dropped down to sixth after they were beaten on their trip to Tooting & Mitcham.

The side at the bottom of the table managed to score once in each half to pick up three vital points in a 2-0 win.

The Moles are in sixth on 42 points, two points outside the play-off places with games in hand on all the sides above them.

Combined Counties Premier North

READING CITY cut the gap at the top after their home success against Broadfields United.

The Cityzens went in front after 34 minutes when Josh Baines stepped up to the penalty spot and dispatched past the goalkeeper.

City then added to their score in the second half when Phil Veal planted a header past the keeper to give the hosts a comfortable advantage.

The win moves Reading onto 51 points from 22 games in third spot and with three games in hand on second placed Egham who are three points in front.

ASCOT UNITED put another point on the board at the top of the table after their goalless draw with Flackwell Heath.

Neither side were able to break the deadlock throughout the 90 minutes which means the Yellas maintained their healthy lead at the summit.

Ascot are currently five points above second placed Egham town with three games in hand and eight points above Reading City, who have played the same number of matches.

 

WOKINGHAM & EMMBROOK were dealt a late blow after conceding a stoppage time penalty in their defeat to Edgware & Kingsbury.

The visitors went in front after 19 minutes before a goal from Hayden levelled the game before the break.

The Sumas thought they had won the game when Sam Millo found the net with two minutes to go, only to be flagged offside.

The away team then snatched all three points when they were awarded a penalty in the 93rd minute, which they converted.
