BRACKNELL TOWN pocketed three points after they got the better of Hendon FC in a seven-goal game.

After an early goal from Hendon, Mickel Platt scored twice to put Bracknell in front.

A flurry of second-half goals, including a brace from Joe Grant for the Robins put them 4-2 ahead before the hosts scored a late goal to make it 4-3, but Bracknell held on to claim the points.

Bracknell are in ninth on 26 points from 15 games.

Isthmian South Central

BINFIELD climbed up to fifth place after they grabbed a dramatic winner from the penalty spot in the 90th minute against Leatherhead.

Connor Holland pounced to put the Moles in front after four minutes and Leatherhead levelled up in the 23rd minute.

A frantic end to proceedings saw Leatherhead have two players dismissed before Brad Paglioli netted from the penalty spot in the dying embers of the game to give Binfield three points.

Combined Counties Premier North

READING CITY maintained their faultless unbeaten run with a comfortable away win at Flackwell Heath.

The Cityzens hit three past their opponents without reply with goals from Dan Davies, Joe Pilling and Josh Baines, while they took their sixth clean sheet of the campaign.

City are yet to lose in 14 league games and are just one point behind league leaders Ascot United.

Reading City manager Simon Johnson said: “Not sure what’s happened this season, but an unbelievable group to be a part of. Never known a togetherness like it. Same amount of wins as last season already, We’ll keep enjoying the good times.”

 

ASCOT UNITED kept their place in top spot after a hard fought win against London Lions.

The Yellaman raced into a two goal lead when Harry Tucker found the opener and Alfie Grant latched onto a rebound to double the advantage.

London Lions got a goal back in the second-half, but the division leaders held on to claim their 13th win in 14 games to maintain their incredible form.

Combined Counties Division One

SANDHURST TOWN are in second after they defeated CB Hounslow United.

 

BERKS COUNTY are in third place after they suffered just their third loss of the league season to Rayners Lane.

The Swords went behind but levelled after Graham’s goal. However, Rayners took the points with two more strikes to make it 3-1.

County are on 36 points from 19 games after winning 13 of their 16 fixtures.

 

WOODLEY UNITED suffered a narrow defeat at home to Hillingdon Borough.

One goal was enough to win the game for the visitors which came in the 70th minute.

The Kestrels are in eighth place after picking up 25 points from 18 games.

EVERSLEY & CALIFORNIA were denied a win after they conceded late on at home to Brook House.

Jatinder Liddar got on the end of Ash Howes’ cross and converted to put the Boars in front after 16 minutes.

With just under 10 minutes to go, Brook House found the net as the points were shared in a 1-1 stalemate.

The Boars are in 11th position with 21 points from 15 games.

Eversley manager Matty Angell said: “Overall thought we did okay against Brook House but rued not taking our chances when 1-0 up and that allowed the opposition back in. Need to start taking our chances and stop dropping points.”
