What to expect
The tournament will be a great opportunity for attendees to watch some of the best in local football at one of the most modern facilities and pitches in the county.
You can expect a range of youth and experience in all the sides as the matches form part of the pre season preparations, but the local rivalries should mean all the fixtures will be closely fought and fiercely contested.
Who are the teams?
Binfield: Managed by Roger Herridge, the Moles have never finished outside the top eight in the Hellenic Premier Division.
Bracknell Town: Managed by Mark Tallentire, the Robins finished runners up in the Hellenic Premier last season and had two of the divisions top goalscorers.
Eversley & California: Relative unknowns for us, the Boars are managed by Phil Ruggles and play in the first division of the Combined Counties Football League.
Wokingham & Emmbrook: Managed by Dan Bateman, the Satsumas play in the Hellenic League Division 1 East and were narrowly beaten by Bracknell in the semi finals of last seasons Reading Senior Cup.
