Sonning 2s enjoy first win of the new season
GOALS from Peter Mitchell and Ian Ta guided Sonning 2s to their first victory of the season.

But there was no such joy for the 1s up in MBBO Regional 1 as they lost 3-1 at Oxford Hawks 2s, despite a Jon Sharp goal.

Lower down the leagues, goals from Sean Barker, Ben Berryman and Anton Churchill could not prevent a 4-3 loss for
SONNING 4s against Windsor 2s.
Meanwhile, SOUTH BERKSHIRE 4s and TERRIERS were both victorious, as were SONNING 6s, but SONNING 5s
lost. Women SONNING LADIES continued their brilliant start to the
Trysports Premier 1 season with an 8-2 demolition job against Oxford Hawks Ladies 3s.
Alice Potter and Lizzie Studley scored consolation goals for Oxford as Sonning
racked up their third win from three, taking their goals tally to 18 in the process. SOUTH BERKSHIRE LADIES
are tucked in behind in second spot after a 2-2 draw at Newbury and Thatcham.
