Fernhill and Rangers share points in Bracknell Sunday League 6-goal thriller!

The one Premier Division fixture played today lived up to its billing as FC Fernhill and Bracknell Rangers played out a 3-3 draw at the Sports Centre. Rangers goals were scored by Lenny Musgrove (pen), Tom Smith and Bradley Brown. The two now share top spot after two games.

In the County Intermediate Cup Raglan and Panthers progressed to round 2 but both needed to win a penalty shoot-out to get past fellow Bracknell Sunday League opposition in Wokingham & Emmbrook TMW and Berks County respectively. Crowthorne Inn and Morale Madrid lost out, both on penalties, whilst Loveman United suffered a heavy defeat and unfortunately will not emulate last season’s County Cup adventure.
