Combined Counties Premier North

WOKINGHAM & EMMBROOK got off the mark with their first win of the season in new manager Matt Cronan’s first match.

After a goalless first hour, Jardin marked his debut by opening the scoring for the Sumas after he finished off Linturn’s work.

Chalfont St Peter hit back instantly with an equaliser, but the Sumas restored their lead in the 83rd minute when Jardim netted his second of the game.

They held onto the points to ensure they moved up to 13th.

Sumas boss Matt Cronan said: “I’m very happy and pleased with the result, you can’t moan at getting three points in the first game.

“We made it hard at times but we were always going to in our first fixture.

“I think especially our game management is something that we need to work on

“In the closing minutes of the game we need to learn to defend, get safe and protect the goal.

“We were a bit all over the place in those times but we will get there

ASCOT UNITED took all three points on the road after their trip to Harefield United.

The Yellaman had to come from behind after Harefield went two goals ahead inside the opening eight minutes.

Marcus Mealing netted to get Ascot back in the game and then got his brace with a 59th minute equaliser.

The comeback was then complete when Mealing fed the ball from the left which resulted in an own goal.

The win puts them second in the table just one point behind league leaders London Lions with two games in hand.

 

FA Cup first qualifying round

BINFIELD continued their FA Cup journey by beating Holyport in front of a crowd of 326 at Holyport.

After a tense cup tie, the Moles netted the only goal of the game in the 90th minute when Liam Tack held his nerve from the penalty spot to put Binfield through.

Binfield will host Vanarama National League South team Tonbridge Angels in the second qualifying round.

Binfield co-manager Jamie McClurg said: “We played the game and we found a way.

“Our three-game changers played a huge part in getting the result and gave Mr reliable a chance and he made no mistake.

“Massive thank you to all our supporters and everyone at Holyport for coming and making it a proper FA Cup tie.

Combined Counties Division One

EVERSLEY & CALIFORNIA climbed up into ninth with a victory over Penn & Tylers Green. Sam Gardner unlocked the game when he put the Boars in front after 54 minutes.

Eversley doubled their money when Ross Mckernan smashed the ball into the net in the 64th minute and despite Penn grabbing a goal back, the Boars held on to claim three points.

Eversley manager Matty Angell said: “Great to get three points. Created a lot of chances and enjoyed the side wanting the ball more.

“Patience was key against a good Penn & Tylers side. A stretched squad took their chances to be involved going forward and will have created a few headaches for next week’s game.”

SANDHURST TOWN earned another impressive away win by hitting five at FC Deportivo Galicia.

The win puts them second in the standings, a point behind first placed Bedont with two games in hand.

 

BERKS COUNTY were dealt just their second defeat in eight games in a seven goal contest against Bedfont.

The Swords went three goals in front with strikes from Lee, Sackey and Wyllie, but Bedfont pulled off an incredible comeback to take the points.
