Combined Counties League Cup semi-final

ASCOT UNITED were eliminated from the cup at the semi-final stage after a penalty shootout defeat against North Greenford United.

The Yellas got off to a great start when George Lock was taken down in the box and top goalscorer Brendan Matthew added to his tally by tucking the resulting penalty away.

Ascot quickly extended their lead just three minutes after the opener when Jordan Ajanlekoko latched onto Sean McCormack’s and headed past the goalkeeper.

The visitors responded to halve Ascot’s lead in the 28th minute.

Greenford set their sights on completing a remarkable comeback and fired in two goals in quick succession, levelling up in the 74th minute before edging themselves in front just four minutes later.

But Ascot wouldn’t go down without a fight and ensured the game would go to spot kicks when Louis Bouwers found his way through to score a 94th minute equaliser.

But it was North Greenford who held their nerve from the spot, scoring all four of their penalties, while Ascot missed their first two which meant the away team progressed 4-2.

Combined Counties Division One

Despite being beaten in their final game of the season, SANDHURST TOWN were confirmed as league champions.

The Fizzers lost out 2-0 away at Rising Ballers Kensington, but end the season on 87 points from 40 games.

Sandhurst have enjoyed a memorable campaign that saw them win 28 of their 40 league games to defeat closest challengers Berks County to the title.

EVERSLEY & CALIFORNIA took on the gruelling challenge of three games in three days in a manic end to the season.

In their first of three matches, the Boars picked up three points with a 2- away win at British Airways with goals from Ben Catt and Sam Knight.

Catt bagged two more goals in the next match as Eversley drew 3-3 away at Brook House.

Eversley then rounded off an impressive run of matches with victory over Bedfont as a brace from Joe Pantony helped them to a 2-1 win.

The Boars sit in 10th place on 62 points with one game left to play when they travel to Hillingdon Borough on Wednesday.

BERKS COUNTY confirmed their place as runners-up after completing a spectacular late comeback at Hillingdon Borough.

In a game filled with late goals, it was the Swords who took the points with two stoppage time strikes to win 4-3.

The result means that Berks finish on 83 points with 26 wins from 40 games, just four points behind champions Sandhurst.

County will now look ahead to the play-offs to try and win promotion. They face Langley in the semi-finals on Thursday.
