The Bracknell Sunday League will have a team in the semi-final of the Berks & Bucks Sunday Junior Cup as this weekend Loveman United and Raglan, both of Division 1, go head to head in their quarter-final tie. FiB wishes both teams the best of luck and may the best team win!
The stand out fixture in the Premier Division sees two in-form teams in FC Fernhill battle it out with FC Meta that may have a significant bearing on how the top of the division shapes up come Sunday afternoon. Fernhill are on a charge following a number of recent wins and occupy 5th position but have four games in hand over both Meta and top team Crowthorne Inn.
A win for Meta will take them closer to Crowthorne Inn at the top (current difference is 4 points) as Inn have no game this weekend. The other fixtures see Finchampstead Athletic (3rd) take on Bracknell Cavaliers (8th) and Wokingham & Emmbrook TMW take on Golden Farmer Rangers. A win for Finch will move them closer to Crowthorne Inn; Wokingham still seek their first league points of the season.
Here they are, the OFFICIAL @hardyad_tony #SundayLeague predictions for the weekend. 🌧️ permitting of course. https://t.co/v397zqmAdq pic.twitter.com/nIn7ZcU3G8

None of the top 3 in Division 1 play league fixtures this weekend but 4th placed AFC Crowthorne take on Winkfield (7th) whilst Finchampstead Athletic Reserves (5th) take on Ashridge Park whilst the game between Berkshire All Stars and Binfield Royals provides for an intriguing tussle.
As previously reported only 3 points separate the top 4 in Division 2 and positions could change come Sunday afternoon. Fixtures involving the top 4 are:
Woodley United (top) vs 3M
Warfield United (2nd) vs Braybrooke Wanderers
Newbold College vs Athletico Ascot (3rd)
Berks County (4th) don’t play
Division 3 leaders Woodley Saints will look to stretch their points lead at the top beyond the current 3 but will face a strong challenge from Hope & Anchor. WAB Reserves (2nd) will look to stay in contention with a win against Winnersh Town whilst 3rd placed team Bracknell Corinthians host Winnersh Rangers. Bearwood Wandrers in 4th position, after pulling back a 2-goal deficit last week to share the points with Silver Birch, will look to maintain their own challenge and play Bracknell Falcons.
In Division 4 top team Finchampstead Athtletic A will look to maintain their challenge for the title with an away fixture against Bracknell Cavaliers Reserves. Elsewhere Bracknell Royals (2nd) host Bracknell Titans whilst Silver Birch A (3rd) entertain bottom team Whitegrove Pythons.
