Binfield see off Woodcote to reach Reading Senior Cup Final for third successive season

Binfield will make the trip to Madejski Stadium on Saturday night for a third successive season after a 3-1 win over Woodcote Stoke Row in the Reading Senior Cup semi final at Scours Lane on Wednesday night.

The Moles came from behind to beat Woodcote on a wet night in Reading with Jon Bennett equalising in the first half after Woodcote took the lead.

Brad Pagliaroli gave Binfield the lead from the spot after the goalkeeper conceded a penalty and Ben Cook on only his fourth first team appearance of the season made it safe moments later.

Roger Herridge’s side have been runners up in their last two Senior Cup Final appearances and the Moles boss will hope it is third time lucky for his side who face neighbours Bracknell Town in Saturday’s final.
