The affect of floodlights going up at Wokingham & Emmbrook’s Lowther Road ground is already being felt with the club announcing the reforming of its Allied Counties Youth League side.

The Allied Counties is a midweek competition for players aged between 16 and 18. The Sumas last had an ACYL side back in 2013/14.

A statement from the club also confirmed that Nick Bovingdon would run the side.
