READING CITY kept their title bid on track with a hard fought home win over Spelthorne Sports.

Spelthorne went in front just before half-time, but the Cityzens found a response right after the break when Eddie Lee hit the leveller.

The goals kept coming as City went ahead when Lee found his second of the game, but Spelthorne found a quick equaliser just three minutes after.

The Cityzens struck the winner with 10 minutes to go when Tyler D’Cruz finished from a Michael Butcher set-piece.

The win keeps Reading in third with games in hand on both teams above them in the standings.

ASCOT UNITED continued their reign at the top of the table with a spirited win over Edgware & Kingsbury.

The Yellas went behind a minute into the game, but turned the game on its head with a quickfire double from Brendan Matthew in the 33rd and then the 36th minute.

Edgware levelled the match just seven minutes after the restart, but Ascot ensured they collected maximum points when Usman Lalustani lobbed the keeper to score the winner.

Ascot have an eight point lead over second placed Egham and third placed Reading City.

Southern League Premier South

BRACKNELL TOWN moved into fourth position with a sizeable away win at bottom club North Leigh.

After taking a one goal advantage into the break courtesy of Ben Harris’ goal, the Robins went on a goalscoring rout in the second-half and added four more.

Mickel Platt, Joe Grant and a double from Daryl Sanders rounded off the scoring to take a comprehensive 5-0 success.

Isthmian South Central

BNFIELD moved closer to the play-off places with an excellent away display at Sutton Common Rovers.

Connor Holland put the Moles ahead after 16 minutes and they wrapped up the points in the second-half with strikes from Conor Lynch and Brad Pagliaroli to secure a 3-0 win.

Binfield are in sixth on 45 points from 29 games, one point outside the play-offs with games in hand on four of the five teams above them.
