  • Division 2 sees the return of William Twigg to the League
  • Division 4 returns to a full compliment of 10 teams, playing each other twice
  • Teams using Wokingham pitches getting to grips with the new on-line pitch booking system

Premier Division

In the Premier Division FC Fernhill, bidding to win their 7th Premier Division title, open with a tough looking away trip to Morale Madrid. Elsewhere Bracknell Rangers, who finished last season strongly (as WAB) open with a home fixture against Panthers whilst elsewhere there’s a “Crem Derby” where last season’s runners-up Crowthorne Inn take on newly promoted and reigning Division 1 Champions Loveman United.

Division 1

Top-billing in Division 1 sees Bracknell Athletic tale on newly promoted and League Junior Cup holders Woodley Saints. Elsewhere Athletico Forest, starting their second season with the league, entertain Wokingham & Emmbrook TMW, Winkfield play promoted and reigning Division 2 Champons Sandhurst FF whilst the fixture between Athletico Ascot and Crowthorne FC completes the Division’s opening day programme.

Division 2

The most interesting fixture in Division 2 sees newly promoted and reigning Division 3 Champions Bearwood Wanderers travel to play Panthers Reserves. Other fixtures see Newbold (formerly Moore close Manor) host promoted Bracknell Cavaliers, whilst Ashridge Park Royals host Winnersh Rangers.

Division 3

Pick of the 5 fixtures in Division 3 sees newly promoted and reigning Division 4 Champions AFC Dukes (formerly Crownwood Dukes) host Running Horse whilst Silver Birch take on newcomers Bracknell Spartans.
