Top of the league

As per above Finch went top of the league on Sunday – but the big news is that the destination of the trophy is in their hands after Binfield CA beat reigning champions FC Fernhill 6-4.

Binfield have had a wildly inconsistent season after reaching the league cup final last term and had lost their last three games but they rallied to inflict a second defeat of the season on Fernhill who went through the 2015/16 campaign unbeaten.

In Division 2 Binfield Royals have to be favourites for the title after beating long-time table toppers Berkshire All Stars 5-4. Royals goals came from Harry Arquibau, Joe Hardy, Adam Houston and Myles White (2) leaves them a point behind the leaders with three games in hand.
