It didn’t take long for Wokingham to make amends to get level when Duval put them back on terms.

The Sumas took the lead in the 30th minute through Sam Mead, but Flackwell quickly levelled as the teams went in at half-time level at 2-2.

The goals kept coming when Flackwell restored their advantage to go in front in the 48th minute despite Sean Woodward’s best efforts in the Sumas goal to keep them out.

The home team had a two goal lead for the first time in the contest in the 58th minute, but the Sumas came fighting back.

Jake Woods got the game back to 4-3 before Mead fired in from the penalty spot to make it 4-4.

But it was to be heartbreak for the Sumas who conceded in stoppage time in a cruel 5-4 defeat.

Wokingham are 18th in the standings after taking 23 points from 31 games, which puts them two points above 19th place Windsor and six ahead of bottom place Oxhey Jets.

READING CITY kept their momentum alive with a clinical first-half display.

The Cityzens struck four times in the opening 45 minutes to put their game with Chalfont St Peter beyond the hosts.

Eddie Lee scored the opening goal of the game before Ellis Cowd got on the end of Baines’ corner to double the lead.

A third goal was scored by Tyler D’Cruz and the points were all but sealed before the break when Cowd set up Lee to add his second of the match.

Despite a goalless second-half, City returned with all three points after a convincing 4-0 win.

However, the Cityzens lost out on Tuesday night against North Greenford United

The only goal of the game was scored by the Greenford in the 91st minute to snatch the points.

City are in second on 64 points, trailing league leaders Ascot by seven points.
