Holyport got back into the contest when they scored from the penalty shot three minutes before the break.

The hosts held on to the points to maintain their position in 11th in the table.

WOKINGHAM & EMMBROOK gained a vital three points to lift them away form the drop zone.

Coming up against mid-table Wembley at Lowther Road, the Sumas picked up just their second home league win of the campaign.

Wembley’s goalkeeper made two outstanding saves to deny the Sumas. First from Jordace Holder-Spooner and then from Nathan Mindomba to deny Wokingham a late goal in the half.

The Sumas continued to threat and smacked the crossbar through Parkes.

They eventually converted a chance in the 63rd minute when Enow Ojong headed in.

That goal proved to be critical as the Sumas held on to earn three points to move into 16th.

Isthmian South Central

BINFIELD picked up a point away at South Park to stay ahead of their opponents in the table.

The Moles made a slow start and were punished in the opening minute when South Park went in front.

It took Binfield just five minutes to respond with an equaliser courtesy of Callum Bunting.

Bunting added a second to put Binfield in front, but the hosts clawed back a second-half leveller to share the points.

EVERSLEY & CALIFORNIA’s remarkable 14 game unbeaten run was finally put to an end by Bedfont & Feltham.

BERKS COUNTY climbed up the table after they saw off Langley.

The Swords went ahead after just seven minutes, but Langley levelled up just two minutes later.

Berks hit back through Laverty in what turned out to be the winning goal in the 39th minute.
