MOLES HUMBLED BY LEAGUE LEADERS

Bracknell Town 5 Binfield 0

BINFIELD were punished by league leaders Bracknell Town who put five past the Moles without reply.

The local derby kicked off at Bottom Meadow on Bank Holiday Monday when Bracknell immediately took the ball away and up to the far end created an early corner kick which was collected by Chris Grace in Binfield’s goal.

Ten minutes had elapsed when Max Herbert took a glancer from an incoming ball from the left wing, wrong footing the keeper.

An early lead gave Bracknell added confidence and Binfield found it a struggle to compete but the guys battled on anyway.

Moles gained a free kick after Bowerman had attempted a shot which was headed out and some good passing by Bracknell took them closer to goal but the last pass saw a front runner offside.

Herbert, with the ball at his feet, rounded the defenders but the shot went behind for a corner kick. Bowerman took a shot which was saved by Grace but a corner was conceded.

With the ball in open play, a handball gave Moles a free kick and Robins regained the ball and a good approach forced another corner kick.

When Moles broke away, a foul gave them a free kick and McClurg found the wall from just outside the penalty area.

Ethan Burden distributed the ball to the left flank and Shamar Moore went on a long sprint and a corner ensued.

Bowerman then added a second just before the break to make it 2-0 to Bracknell.

Bowerman then boosted his game after the interval with a shot on target which Chris Grace tipped round the post for a corner kick and the header went over the crossbar. Having gained ground, Robins took a corner kick which was hoofed clear by an alert defender.

On the hour, Bowerman made his tally go to two as Robins dominated play and the third goal provided a cushion for the rest of the game as long as

Robins did not get too complacent.

All systems were revived and in the 72nd minute, Bowerman collected his hat-trick with Bracknell running up the tally of four goals to the good.

Two minutes later he added his fourth for the Robins to secure a convincing win for the side at the top of the table.
