A busy weekend as usual for our clubs as Bracknell Town continue the chase for the Hellenic Premier Division title and Ascot United search for their first league win under their new manager.

There are no matches for Binfield or AFC Aldermaston this week, while there is no Suburban League action for our featured teams.

Uhlsport Hellenic Premier Division

Bracknell Town vs Ardley United
The Robins can celebrate the opening of their new bar with a win, and will need maximum points to stay top of the league. The impressive Kensley Maloney is expected to continue to deputise for the injured Joe Grant.

Lydney Town vs Ascot United
The Yellamen are still looking for their first league win under new manager Neil Richards and face a tricky trip to Gloucestershire.

And the rest..
Brimscombe & Thrupp vs Highmoor-Ibis
Flackwell Heath vs Royal Wootton Bassett
Thame United vs Longlevens AFC

Here’s the Hellenic Premier Division table

Uhlsport Hellenic Division 1 East

Finchampstead vs Holyport
Jon Laugharne’s side have proved resilient in recent weeks but will need to give it their all to stay in the top three having played two more times than most of the sides around them. Visitors Holyport pushed Premier Division Binfield close in the Reading Senior Cup this week.

Wokingham & Emmbrook vs Sandhurst Town
The Sumas have work to do if they are to move away from the foot of the table. This one could go either way but Wokingham have shown some form in recent weeks, though they will likely miss joint top scorer Tom Williams.
