Saturday
Burghfield 0 Finchampstead 0
In-form Burghfield welcomed Finchampstead to the Rec on Saturday and played out an entertaining 0-0 draw.

However, the two sides will be happy with taking a point from the fixture that was played in beautiful sunshine and a fresh breeze.
Marlow United 2 Richings Park 3
A quickfire hat-trick from Ricky Cave gave Park a three goal lead within half an hour, however a spirited comeback from Marlow United brought the scores back to 2-3 with a brace from Neil Austin. Marlow United came close to an equaliser, however Richings Park did enough to secure a well deserved three points.

Goals from Tom Nower, Ben Hall, Ebby Opuko-Ware and John Swift handed the away side all three points.
