Reading FC completed the semi-final line-up of the Berks & Bucks County FA Senior Men’s Cup on Wednesday night with a penalty shootout win over Chesham United.

The Royals win means all three of the County FA’s professional clubs are in the final four alongside Ascot United who will face Wycombe Wanderers while Reading will play MK Dons.

Reading were 1-0 up in the first half through Mamadi Camara but were pegged back in the final minutes when Bradley Clayton levelled for the Generals sending the game to penalties which the Royals won 4-2.
