Last night was a big one on and off the pitch locally as Binfield triumphed in the Reading Senior Cup while there were defeats for Wokingham & Emmbrook and Bracknell Town – and the small matter of a managerial change at the Sumas.
Bateman & Eggleston to step down
Reporter Dave Wright was the first to break the news after the Binfield/Wokingham game last night. See our story about what is happening at the club here.
