Four Cherry Red Records Combined Counties League Premier Division North fixtures involving Football in Berkshire clubs on Saturday, it did not go so well!

Tadley Calleva were beaten 3-0 at home by Hanworth Villa and Virginia Water were beaten 4-0 at Stag Meadow by North Greenford United.

Those results mean it’s a FiB bottom four with Holyport in 15th, Virginia Water 16th, Tadley 17th and Wokingham & Emmbrook 18th after five matches.

The outlook is better in Division One with Chalvey Sports, Wallingford Town, Sandhurst Town, Woodley United and Eversley & California all registering wins.

The latter was an impressive result for the Boars as Eversley beat second-placed Rayners Lane 3-2 at Fox Lane, Jack Kittelsen scoring an 89th-minute winner after Joe Pantony had levelled the scores at 1-1 on 40 minutes and Ben Catt’s goal was levelled by the visitors on 72 minutes.

Woodley also earned a late win, Kaine Larkins, an injury-time sub got the winner in a 3-2 win over Berks County at The Rivermoor.

Tahir Carmichael and Caleb Lucas also among the goals for the Kestrels. County’s scorers have yet to be posted.
