Thames Valley Premier League
The title race took another dramatic twist as FINCHAMPSTEAD dropped points away at Mortimer, while BERKS COUNTY closed the gap with a win.

Finches scored twice in the first-half with goals from Alex Woodhead and James Payne but had to settle for a point as they were locked in a 2-2 stalemate against Mortimer.

Meanwhile, Berks are now just one point behind Finch after they earned their 17th victory of the season with a 3-1 triumph at Marlow United.

Clive Akem-Che opened the scoring in the first-half and Shaun Wyllie added another before the break.
John Swift then added a third to seal the points in the second-half to earn a vital win for the Swords.

The race to be crowned TVPL champions is going down to the wire. Berks have just one fixture remaining and are a point behind Finch who have two games left to play, and therefore need just one win to guarantee top spot.

Thames Valley Division One
WARGRAVE
strengthened their push for the title with a convincing 3-0 away win against Eldon Celtic.

The win puts Wargrave eight points behind league leaders Reading YMCA who have just one game left to play to complete their season.

Meanwhile, Wargrave still have an outside shot at the title with three games left to play.

FC IMAAN LIONS suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of the league leaders as they were beaten 5-1 away from home at Reading YMCA.

The Lions had been in impressive form prior to the match, with three wins on the bounce pushing them up to fourth in the table, but their winning run came to an end. They have just two games left to conclude their campaign.

Hurst have one game left to play and can finish as high as third if results go their way.

Thames Valley Division Two
BERKS COUNTY RESERVES
lost ground on the top four as they lost 4-1 away at Maidenhead Town Reserves.

Tom Osborne struck a hat-trick for the hosts as Berks remain in fifth place after their fifth defeat in the league.
