WOODLEY UNITED extended their unbeaten run in the Combined Counties Division One to five matches as they came back to beat 10-man Berks County on Tuesday night.
Berks opened the scoring after half an hour through Ellis Day.
But the game turned when the hosts went down to 10 men after conceding a penalty which saw Matt Laverty dismissed and Sid Gbla levelled from the penalty spot.
Gbla had a chance to find his second but blazed a penalty over the top with just over 20 minutes left.
But the Kestrels ensured they took all three points when Suckling scored the winner in the 71st minute.
The match ended 2-1 to lift Woodley up to 10th in the table, while Berks are in fifth.
Woodley United manager Jordan Blake said: “Superb result tonight (Tuesday) against a team that I believe have got a chance this season in promotion.
“Our overall game had a bit of everything and that’s the most pleasing thing for me. Tuesday night games are about being effective and efficient and that’s what we were.”
Woodley host 19th place Brook House this coming weekend, while Berks are away at 9th place British Airways.
Goals: Day 30′, Gbla 34′ (pen), Suckling 71′
