We spoke to a very happy Wokingham & Emmbrook President Mark Ashwell after he watched his side beat local rivals Woodley United 4-3 at Lowther Road.

Our man Mark Pugh spoke to Ashwell about the future developments at the club, what the hopes are for the future and what the plans are for the ground – Mr Ashwell confirmed the floodlights at Lowther Road would go on in time to celebrate his and the club chairman’s Graham Tabor’s 60th birthdays on 31st March 2018.
