Slump see South Berks slide down the table
SOUTH BERKSHIRE’S disappointing end to the season continued with a 3-2 home loss against Marlow 2s.
Berks are now down to sixth in MBBO Regional
2 following a run of five defeats in six games since the beginning of March.
Daniel Ray and Andy Smith found the net at Cantley Park, but the goals came in vain as they slipped below Marlow in the table. SONNING secured third spot in the table with a thumping 10-2 win at Aylesbury.
Colm Hanlon and James Manser both bagged four goals with David Painter and Ian Gallagher also on target in the rout. SONNING 2s were also in scoring form, beating struggling Ramgarhia 7-4 in Division 1 thanks to a Sam Westmancoat hat-trick.
Matt Poulton netted twice while James Miller and Mark Cooke also got on the score-sheet.
Down in 8
West, SOUTH BERKSHIRE TERRIERS clinched the title with a 3-0 win over Wallingford 5s, pipping Reading Rascals to top spot by one point. SONNING 5s also ended on a winning note, edging past Oxford 8s 3-2.
The women’s leagues are also coming to a close with SONNING LADIES 2s ending
with a resounding 6-1 home loss to Wallingford.
That result coupled with SOUTH BERKSHIRE LADIES’
1-0 defeat at Oxford 2s sees Berks end the
Trysports Premier 1 season in fourth place.
Down in Division 3, goals from
Sandra Dodington, Bethan Thomas and Bridgette Jones secured a 3-2 win for SOUTH BERKSHIRE 3s at Kidlington.
Elsewhere, SONNING 4s thrashed Reading Rogues 8-0 while SOUTH BERKSHIRE 4s thumped Maidenhead 5s 7-1 thanks to goals from Lyndall Davitt, Lisa Cameron, Safeeyah Rashid, Dani Bertolino and Hannah Sayers. SONNING VETERANS and 5s
were beaten.
