Hellenic League Division One East

WOKINGHAM& EMMBROOK kept their momentum going with another stunning win in the league.

Sumas boss Dan Bateman had predicted prior to kick-off that Tuesday’s fixture at Holyport would be the team’s toughest test yet.

However his side made light work of their opponents.

Jake White kept his scoring run going to give the Sumas a 1-0 lead at half-time.

The Sumas sealed the three points in the second half with three more goals as Luke Scope bagged a brace after an own goal had put them two ahead as they kept their place at the top of the division having won all three of their matches.

WOODLEY UNITED fell to their second league defeat of the season with a 4-2 away loss at Chalvey Sports.

The Kestrels took the lead before the break as Lamin Ceesay opened the scoring.

Two quickfire second half goals from the hosts saw them take the lead, before Jamie Williams’ side hit back with a 70th minute equaliser.

But theywere unable to hold on for a point as Chalvey went ahead in the 76th minute, before adding another a minute before time to take the points.

Thames Valley Women’s Division One

WOKINGHAM& EMMBROOK had a game to forget in the Thames Valley Women’s Division One as theywere beaten 5-0 by Caversham AFC Ladies.

The Sumas are in sixth place after two fixtures having won their first game of the season last weekend.

They face Tilehurst Panthers Women Developmen­t away from home on Sunday.

WARGRAVE WOMEN picked up their first point of the season with a one-all stalemate against Banbury United Women.

Wargrave went into the break a goal down, but an early second half goal from Hannah Sheehan ensured they would go share the points to take them up to eighth in the table.

They host Caversham AFC Ladies on Sunday.

FA Women’s Cup

EVERSLEY & CALIFORNIA LADIES crashed out of the Women’s FA Cup after theywere narrowly defeated by Wycombe Wanderers Ladies.

The Boars went a goal behind but levelled the scores with 25 minutes to give them hope against the side two levels above them.

However, Wycombe ensured that they would progress as they converted a penalty 18 minutes from time.

Thames Valley Women’s Division 3S

S4K LADIES were dealt their first defeat of the season as they lost 4-0 to Mortimer Ladies in Thames Valley Division 3S, who went to the top of the table.

S4K are fourth having won one and lost one of their opening two league games. They host Thatcham Flames on Sunday.

FA Cup

BINFIELD’S adventure in the FA Cup was put to bed as theywere defeated by step four side Whyteleafe FC.

The Moles had caused a shock in the earlier round to make it to the qualifying-round.

But a 2-0 loss away from home meant that they exited the competitio­n on Tuesday evening.

Friendlies

EVERSLEY & CALIFORNIA kept their match sharpness in a 1-1 draw against Sheerwater FC on Tuesday evening.

WARGRAVE FC stepped up their preparatio­ns for the season with a 4-1 pre-season friendly win over Virginia Water. Their league campaign kicks off against Slough Heating Laurencian­s on Saturday, October 3.

WOODLEY UNITED ROYALS were defeated 6-3 by Mortimer Village in an entertaini­ng contest.

The Kestrels performed brilliantl­y to pull back a three-goal deficit to claw the game to 3-3 but a late flurry of goals from Mortimer saw them take the win.

AFC CROWTHORNE and WILLIAM TWIGG (red/black stripes) renewed acquaintan­ces last Sunday, with the Bracknell-based side recording a 4-2 victory in a pre-season friendly at Locks Ride, Winkfield.
