Well we promised goals didn’t we! Adam Cornell certainly didn’t disappoint with his second four goal haul of the season as Bracknell Town beat neighbours Wokingham & Emmbrook 7-1.

The win, Bracknell’s second over the Satsumas in a week sees the Robins into the semi-finals of the Bluefin Sports Supplementary Challenge Cup.

Whilst a big scoreline for the home side, Wokingham did have their chances and Elliott Rushforth scored a terrific equaliser after Bracknell had gone a goal up.

Chances

Luke Scope and Josh Pearson both had great chances for the visitors, but it was Cornell who will take the plaudits scoring a hat-trick before the break.

Bracknell captain Carl Davies weighed in with the Robins fourth before Cornell struck again and youngster Ben Poynter added a flourish with the sixth and seventh.

Golden boot

Cornell is now the clubs leading scorer after overtaking the departed Shane Cooper-Clark and his 17 goals.

Wokingham still have a Reading Senior Cup to defend and will undoubtedly put everything into winning the trophy for a fifth time in succession.
