It’s a big midweek kick off for the Thames Valley Premier League

The 2019/20 season of the Thames Valley Premier League is about to kick off with a raft of midweek fixtures on Wednesday 28th August.

The league, originally founded in 1989, is a step 7 league that feeds in to the Uhlsport Hellenic League or Cherry Red Records Combined Counties League depending on geography.

Last season, Marlow United were promoted to the Hellenic after winning the league and recent additions have included AFC Aldermaston and Taplow United.

The season ahead see’s a 14 team top division boosted by the return of Newbury after winning Division One and Finchampstead while Berks County have a new management team in place as Ellis Woods joined Lee Simpson as co-manager.

If you fancied getting across to a game this evening, our friends over @ThamesValleyPL on twitter have provided a handy guide to each fixture.

Burghfield FC vs Newbury FC

#TVPLPrem Opening Day@BurghfieldFC v @NewburyTownFC

One of last terms standout sides, the hosts look to start better than Oct 27’s first win!

Yet D1 Champs visitors are strong and expect title charge this term, even without Langers’ goals.

Predict: 1-2

Westwood Wanderers vs Reading City U23

#TVPLPrem Opening Day@FirstWestwood v @ReadingCityFC

Hosts want stronger season than last & after strong summer, look good for Champs League spot tilt.

The young guns at Citeh will use last 2 terms to grow & with Firsts strong will we see filter down of talent?

Predict: 1-1
