We understand Binfield’s Reading Senior Cup semi-final against Woodcote Stoke Row was abandoned on Wednesday evening on 54 minutes after six players from both sides were sent off.
Thames Valley Premier League side Woodcote led their Hellenic Premier Division opponents 1-0 at the time of the abandonment.
Bracknell News sports reporter Dave Wright tweeted: “Reading Senior Cup: Binfield FC 0 Woodcote Stoke Row 1 after 54 mins. WSR have 2 sent off followed by a fight. Game abandoned 58 mins
