‘Monsoon’ causes pre season fixture abandonment at AFC Aldermaston

The one local friendly on Tuesday night didn’t complete the 90 minutes after weather described as a monsoon forced the abandonment of the AFC Aldermaston vs Binfield ‘Dev’ tie at the Rec Soc.

The match was abandoned after 75 minutes due to the conditions with Binfield 2-0 up.
