The Southern League leg of Football in Berkshire’s ‘story so far’ of the 2026/27 league season includes Bracknell Town and Hungerford Town
It’s been a lean couple of seasons for Hungerford Town as the club seeks to ‘cut its cloth’, following relegation from the National League South in 2023, despite posting 40 points.
The club were then relegated from the Southern League Premier Division South last season, but have kept faith with manager Danny Robinson and thus far, the decision is paying dividends with the Crusaders well in the play-off positions having enjoyed a run to the FA Cup Third Qualifying Round for the third time in the last four seasons.
A controversial 95th minute defeat to Westbury United on Saturday aside, including three Crusaders players being sent off – Hungerford are fourth in the form table and are unbeaten at Bulpit Lane this season.
Prior to the defeat, Hungerford had won five and drawn one of their last six league games in the Step 4 Southern League Division One South.
Hungerford’s next league fixture is away to Slimbridge on Wednesday night.
Bracknell Town
Step 3 Bracknell Town picked up a morale-boosting 1-0 win at home to high-flyers Chichester City on Saturday in the Southern League Premier Divsion South.
It was the Robins’ first league win in three games after defeats to Poole Town and Hanworth Villa, as well as a draw at Gosport Borough and hoicks Adam Hopkins’ side up to 13th in the table.
Squad evolution continues at Bottom Meadow with Casey Bocarro and Josh Brooking the latest through the door.
Bracknell now have consecutive Tuesday fixtures with a trip to Taunton Town on Tuesday night, followed by Gosport at home on the 27th.
