Bracknell & District Premier
Wycombe Wanderers boss Gareth Ainsworth was on the scoresheet for FINCHAMPSTEAD SUNDAY ATHLETIC, but it wasn’t enough to help prevent defeat.
Playing in his second consecutive match for the club where he has signed on for the remainder of the season, Ainsworth competed in the Finch side that were beaten 5-2 by William Twigg.

Isthmian South Central
BINFIELD
were beaten for the first time since August as they fell to a 2-1 defeat away at Bedfont Sports.
Two quickfire second-half goals put Bedont two goals to the good and despite a 90th-minute penalty from Callum Bunting to get the Moles a goal back, they were beaten.

The loss means that they drop down to sixth in the table. 

Binfield co-manager Carl Withers said: “These boys are showing everybody that they belong at this level, but we came up against a well organised Bedfont Sports side who fully deserved their win.”

Combined Counties Premier North
READING CITY
put three important points on the board with an away triumph at Spelthorne Sports.
Goals from Joe Pilling and Tyler D’Cruz, backed up by a resilient clean sheet meant that Reading earned a valuable three points to their tally.
The win lifts the Cityzens up to 12th in the table after their second away win of the campaign.

Combined Counties Challenge Cup
EVERSLEY & CALIFORNIA
were eliminated from the cup after a penalty shootout loss to Knaphill FC.
The visitors opened the scoring after nine minutes but the Boars hit back with an equaliser through Joe Burrell.
Lewis Robson then notched from the penalty spot five minutes later to put Eversley in front, but Knaphill responded before the break to make it 2-2.
After a goalless second-half, Knaphill progressed with a shootout win.

Thames Valley Premier League
FINCHAMPSTEAD
got back to winning ways with a five-star performance over WOODLEY UNITED ROYALS.
Joel Day notched a brace, and James Payne, Nick Payne and Alex Woodhead rounded off the scoring to give Finch their sixth win in eight matches.
