BINFIELD FC enjoyed a remarkable year with the undeniable highlight being their magnificent journey in the FA Vase.

The Moles had the mother of all cup runs which saw them reach the promised land of a final contested at Wembley Stadium.

Carl Withers and Jamie McClurg’s team booked their place at the home of English football in the most dramatic of circumstances with several penalty shootout victories.

Despite covid restrictions being in place, both teams, Warrington Rylands and Binfield, were able to take a maximum of 2,000 to celebrate the occasion, which was also broadcast live on BT Sport.

The match was a contest befitting of a final which saw Warrington come out on top with a 3-2 win to take the trophy.

The Moles have gone from strength to strength since their day at Wembley and are currently in eighth place in the Isthmian South Central having been promoted to step four football at the beginning of the season.

It has been a season of change at WOKINGHAM & EMMBROOK after long term managers Dan Bateman and Matt Eggleston departed at the start of the campaign.

Eliot Whitehouse took over the reins at Lowther Road in what has been a transitional season so far for the club.

EVERSLEY & CALIFORNIA have had a superb first half of the campaign in the Combined Counties Division One.
