Binfield and Woodley United were the big winners at the weekend as they both reached their respective Berks & Bucks County FA Cup Finals.
Binfield’s win was an impressive 6-3 romp at FA Vase Quarter Finalists Newport Pagnell Town with goals from Liam Ferdinand (2), James Knight, Luke Hayden, Sean Moore and Grant Kemp while Woodley United emerged victorious in a penalty shootout following a 0-0 draw at Risborough Rangers.
The Moles win means a dream Senior Trophy final against neighbours Bracknell Town with the venue and date to be confirmed, and Woodley will face Marlow United in the final of the Intermediate Cup.
