Thames Valley Premier League

READING YMCA were denied a second consecutive win over FINCHAMPSTEAD after a last gasp leveller from the champions.

Having earned an impressive 5-1 win over Finch last weekend, the teams returned to face each other for the second consecutive weekend.

In a dramatic ending to the match, Pele Hagger thought he had given YMCA the winning goal in the 87th minute.

But Finch ensured it wouldn’t be a second defeat on the bounce as they fought back to find an equaliser in stoppage time from Jason Baverstock
