Eversley & California left it late as Ross McKernan’s sensational strike saw them edge past Berks County.

The Boars made a quick start and raced into the lead with 11 minutes on the clock when Ellis Wint’s work in the box was finished off neatly by Paras Gill.

Berks went down to 10 after Harvey Griffiths was shown a straight red card, but they worked their way back into the game and were level when Les Sackey slotted past the keeper.

But the game was won by the visitors in the 80th minute after a moment of magic from McKernan who unleashed an unstoppable strike that soared into the top corner.

Eversley manager Matty Angell said: “Pleased with the teams resolve, we were hard to break down, worked extremely hard and a cracker of a goal from Ross McKernan won it for us.

“Still lots to come from this group but the progress has been amazing and a huge group effort from everyone involved.”

Berks County still have five games remaining to comlpete their league campaign. They are currently in ninth on 56 points but have the chance to push higher up the table if they take advantage of their games in hand.

Eversley have just one league match remaining and can finish as high as fourth, but only if results go their way where they are currently level on points with fifth placed FC Deportivo Galicia and three behind Wallingford Town who still have four games left.

Eversley & California: Pidgeon, Dickie, McKernan, Gill, Wint, Anderson, Griggs, Frewin, Pantony, Moriarty, Hunjan

Subs: Catt, Di Lullo, Appleton, Allston, King

Goals: Gill 11′, Sackey 73′, McKernan 80′
