Wokingham & Emmbrook visit Reading Senior Cup holders Henley Town on Monday night in the Quarter Finals at the Triangle Ground.

The Sumas were narrowly beaten in the Hellenic League Supplementary Cup at the weekend going down 4-3 at home to Chalfont Wasps, but have a good chance advancing to the semi-finals of the Senior Cup when they make the trip to the Premier Division’s relegation haunted Henley Town.

Wokingham have of course won the trophy four of the last five seasons, their run of four in a row broken last season when Henley defeated Binfield in a memorable final at the Madejski Stadium in Reading.

The winners of tonight’s tie though face a daunting home fixture against title chasing Hellenic Premier side Bracknell Town with Binfield against either Finchampstead or Woodcote Stoke Row in the other semi-final.

Here’s what happened at the Madejski when Henley lifted the trophy last season..
